Payment plans options

We make every effort to assist you in meeting out-of-pockets costs. If a payment plan is necessary, arrangements should be made through the Student Financial Services office in advance of the beginning of the quarter.

Payment Plan A (monthly)

An annual, nine-month payment plan is available through Seattle University. It offers a way you can incorporate the cost of college into your family budget for nine months. This is not a loan and no interest is charged. A $50 annual non-refundable enrollment fee is required.

The plan takes the estimated total cost for fall, winter and spring quarters less verified financial aid and divides the remaining balance into nine monthly installments. Installments will be due by the 1st of each month starting in October and ending in June.

The plan is an excellent way for students to prepare for tuition costs and to spread payments over the course of the academic year, thereby giving you lower monthly payments instead of the alternative—three lump sum payments at the start of each quarter. A separate application is required for this payment plan and is available on the Student Financial Services website and is included with the registration invoice.

Payment Plan B (quarterly)

Plan B is a three-month payment plan that is available each quarter. One-third of the tuition/fees balance plus a $30.00 non-refundable handling fee is due on the tuition due date. Another third is due thirty 30 days after the academic quarter's official tuition due date. The remaining balance is due sixty days after the academic quarter's official tuition due date. A separate application is required for this payment plan that is available with the registration invoice.

Payment Plan C (deferred)

Plan C is a delayed payment that is available each quarter. This offers a short term forty-five day extension that may be used to defer your quarterly tuition and fees until the end of the month following the academic quarter's official tuition due date. A $30.00 non-refundable handling fee must be paid by the tuition due date on your quarterly billing invoice. The tuition balance is due by the assigned due date. A separate application is required for this payment plan that is available with the registration invoice.

Employer Deferred Payment Plan

This option assists students who are reimbursed by their employer after they complete the courses. The university agrees to defer full or partial payment of tuition and fees based upon a promise from the student's employer to pay directly to the student. The student will make payment to the university within 30 days after final grades are posted. Students complete an application form each quarter and submit with a copy of their employer's tuition reimbursement policy. There is a $30 non-refundable application fee.
