Payment Details
Tuition Payments
Tuition payments are accepted at the Bursar’s Office, located on the second floor of Dooling Hall, during regular business hours. Payment of tuition expenses can be made by cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. You may also make payment online using the “Make a Payment” link in WebAdvisor. Payment of tuition and fees must be made before the start of the semester in which you are registered unless you are receiving financial aid or employer reimbursement. If payment is not made before the first day of classes for a given session, a Financial Hold will be placed on your student record, which will prohibit you from receiving a transcript or registering for future classes and/or sessions.
Tuition Deferment
Tuition deferment is available for students in graduate programs who have provided the Bursar’s Office with a copy of their employer’s policy. Upon completion of a semester, the student will have eight weeks to make payment for the deferred tuition expenses. Please note that even though a student is using employer reimbursement, she/he is still responsible for payment of the deferred amount by the end of the eight week grace period.
Tuition deferment is also available for students who have applied for financial aid. To be eligible for deferment of expenses, the student needs to have filed all the necessary paperwork with the Office of Financial Aid. If you have been selected for verification, you will again need to make sure that you have complied with all the paperwork requirements. Please note that if your financial aid information is incomplete, you are responsible for payment of the outstanding balance.
Tuition deferment is a privilege and can be revoked if this privilege is abused. Please note that you, as the student, are responsible for payment of your tuition balance in the event that your financial aid/loans or employer reimbursement is not received by the Bursar’s Office within the stated time period.
Tuition deferment will not be offered to an individual who has been previously sent to a collection agency for nonpayment of their tuition expenses. Such students are required to pre-pay for their classes for one year. Upon the completion of the year, the situation and student account will be reviewed for potential reinstatement of deferment eligibility.
Payment Plans
Payment plans are available to graduate students. If you are interested in a payment plan, please contact the Bursar’s Office at 610.282.1100, ext.1474 for additional information.
Refund on Withdrawal
A refund of tuition payments will be made to a student who withdraws from a course. In all cases, credits will be calculated from the date the student completed the official withdrawal form, and the rebate will be based on the schedule shown listed below.
Refunds apply to tuition only. If a student is allowed to enroll by use of the deferred payment procedure, any funds due the University are immediately due and payable upon withdrawal.
Withdrawal during the add/drop period is 100% of tuition refunded. The schedule below is for withdrawal after the first class after the close of the add/drop period.
- Withdrawal after 1st class: 80% of tuition refunded
- Withdrawal after 2nd class: 65% of tuition refunded
- Withdrawal after 3rd class: 50% of tuition refunded
- Withdrawal after 4th class: 25% of tuition refunded
