Tuition and fees are incurred at the time of registration.

Tuition is due in full seven calendar days after the first class meeting. Benedictine University has partnered with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to provide payment plans for those students seeking arrangements to balance their tuition payments over an extended period of time.

A "Statement of Accounts" is generated the first week of each month. This statement reflects only that activity which has taken place on your student account in the last billing cycle (similar to your checking/savings/credit card statements of account).

Payment Options

1. Payment in full: Benedictine University accepts cash, personal checks, money orders, Visa, MasterCard and Discover. Students may view and pay their accounts online at www.ben.edu/mybenu from any on-campus computer or access MyBenU via BenUConnect, www.ben.edu/BenUConnect, from off-campus. PAYMENT DEADLINE: seven calendar days after the first class meeting.

2. Payment plans through Sallie Mae TuitionPay: Benedictine University has partnered with Sallie Mae to provide interest-free monthly payment options through the TuitionPay Plan. Students may create budgets to manage their tuition costs each term. Students may enroll online at www.tuitionpayenroll.com/ben or call (800) 635-0120 to speak with a TuitionPay consultant. Be sure to have your estimated expenses ready when you call or visit the Web site.

Single Term budgets - For a fee of $30, students can make monthly payments toward their tuition balance for a single term.

You will receive billing information and monthly statements in accordance with your payment schedule. Please note you will also receive monthly billing statements from Benedictine until your term tuition is paid in full through Sallie Mae. Please make sure these statements coincide with the budgeted amount of your payment plan.

3. Tuition reimbursement from employer. For a fee of $30, students can arrange with Sallie Mae's TuitionPay, a single tuition payment plan due at the end of the term (plus a grace period) with proper documentation from their employer. Documentation of your employer's reimbursement policy must be submitted to the Student Accounts Office of Benedictine University prior to enrolling in this plan. An updated copy of the policy must be submitted every Fall term thereafter. Students may fax their employer's policy to Student Accounts at (630) 829-6501. Please note that tuition is due in full according to the deferred due date specified by TuitionPay regardless of when individual employers reimburse their employees.

**Failure to meet Options 1, 2 or 3 by payment deadline will result in a late payment fee of $100 and a financial hold placed on the student's account**

For general questions regarding billing, please call Benedictine Central at (630) 829-6500.
