Please Note
St. John's University will only accept payment for tuition, fees and health insurance.  We will also accept payment for room and/or board charges for students residing at the Residence Village on campus or off-campus St. John's University apartments.  Any extra funds will be available for books, dining facilities on campus, or tuition for the following semester.  

University Sponsored Deferred Payment Plan
If you cannot pay in full at the time your tuition bill is due, the University offers a deferred payment plan. You may complete the Deferred Payment Plan contract online, by logging onto St. John's UIS and clicking the "View Term Bill" link. There is a $150 processing fee for this plan. You must pay any prior balance in full, plus 1/2 of your current semester charges after all approved financial aid has been deducted.  The first payment is due upon creation of the contract. The payments for your remaining balance will be due October 1 and November 1 for the Fall Semester and February 15 and March 15 for the Spring Semester.  Print out TWO copies of the Deferred Payment Plan contract, sign one and return it with your payment in the envelope provided with your invoice to the Office of the Bursar.

Additional Information
Students whose accounts are in arrears will not be permitted to register for a subsequent semester, issued a diploma or a transcript of record. All past due balances are charged interest at the rate of one percent per month. Delinquent accounts may be referred to a third party for collection which will result in the addition of collection costs to the account balance.

All outstanding tuition account balances are educational loans extended with the express understanding that future repayment shall be made to the University. Pursuant to federal bankruptcy law and regulations, such tuition expenses are educational loans that are not automatically discharged in bankruptcy.

Students holding full tuition scholarships are required to pay the General Fee and any other fees required for the courses they are taking.

The University reserves the right to change the schedule of tuition and fees when necessary, but every effort is made to maintain them at the lowest possible level.
