Billing and Payment Plans

Student Accounts Office

Billing

Assumption University bills students directly, with billing statements available prior to the start of each semester. Students can access their electronic billing statements through the Student Account Center, located in the student portal.

Students may grant others access to their student account by clicking the “Add Authorized Party” button within the Student Account Center. Once added, the authorized party will receive an email from Nelnet with instructions on how to create their online account.

Students are not considered officially registered—and will not receive class schedules or appear on class rosters—until their bill has been paid in full. Payments are applied in the following order: past due balances, fines, interest, fees (including housing and food), miscellaneous charges, and finally, tuition.

Specific fees are often assessed after the student’s class schedule is fixed.

Assumption University does not offer a deferred payment plan. However, students may set up an installment payment plan through Nelnet, a third-party provider that offers this option for a fee.

All payments—including financial aid, loans, and installment plan payments—must be received by the semester’s due date. A $150 late fee will be applied to any account with payments received after the due date. Please note that late applications for financial aid do not exempt students from late fees charged by the University.

Payment Plan

Assumption University offers a monthly payment plan administered by Nelnet, allowing you to spread your education expenses over smaller monthly installments throughout the semester. Enrollment in the payment plan is simple and can be completed through the Student Account Center in the student portal or via your Authorized Party online account.

Payment of Bills Information

Failure to Pay Financial Obligations to the University

Students with past due balances may be suspended from the University, which includes removal from current courses and restriction from registering for future classes or securing campus housing. Additionally, students with unpaid balances may be ineligible to participate in the housing lottery.

The University reserves the right to refer delinquent accounts to a collection agency. In such cases, students are responsible for all associated collection and legal fees, which may amount to up to 50% of the outstanding balance.

Graduation Clearance

Diplomas are issued only after all outstanding balances have been paid in full. This includes tuition, service charges, graduation fees, and any miscellaneous fees such as motor vehicle fines. All payments must be received by the announced graduation clearance deadline.

Student accounts that remain unpaid after this deadline may be referred to a collection agency if the delinquency continues.
