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. PAYMENT DEADLINE: seven calendar days after the first class meeting.

2. Payment plans through Tuition Management Services. For an annual fee of $45 ($55 after August 1), or term-based fee of $35 students can make monthly payments toward their tuition balance. Students may contact Tuition Management Services at (800) 722-4867 or www.afford.com to set up a payment schedule. Be sure to have your actual or estimated full-year expenses (tuition and fees minus financial aid) ready when you call or visit their website.

3. Tuition reimbursement from employer. Students may arrange with TMS a single tuition payment plan due at the end of the term (plus a five week grace period) with proper documentation from their employer. Documentation of your employer's reimbursement policy must be submitted to Benedictine University before the 2nd week of each term before TMS may authorize a single pay plan.

Failure to meet Options 1, 2 or 3 before the 2nd week of the term will result in a late payment fee of $100.

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