Financial Payments

All fees and the entire tuition for each semester are due and payable in full before registration can be completed and an official class schedule/receipt will be issued. 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 payments may be made by check or money order payable to St. John's University or by credit card (Visa, American Express, Master Card, or Discover).

Please ensure that your Student ID number is written on all checks to the University. The University staff will write the student ID number on checks where a student has not done so already.

For those students and parents of students who wish to make tuition payments on a monthly basis, St. John's University makes available services of an outside independent educational credit company plan. Information regarding this plan can be obtained from the Office of Student Financial Services.

Students whose accounts are in arrears will not be permitted to register for a subsequent semester, issued a diploma, grades or a transcript record. All room and board charges must be paid in full before admittance to the residence halls. All past due balances are charged interest at the rate of 1% per month.

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 before an official class schedule/receipt will be issued.

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. Actual cost figures may be found in the Undergraduate Bulletin  and Graduate Bulletin.
