When will I receive a tuition bill?
Students receive invoices from the Student Financial Services Department. Fall semester invoices are mailed in early July and Spring semester invoices are mailed in early December. Payment is due approximately fifteen (15) days from the date of the invoice in the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable.

All financial obligations must be cleared before a student's registration is considered complete.

For your convenience, a payment drop box is located outside of the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable on the 1st floor of the Administration Center. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE CASH IN THE DROP BOX. If you choose to pay in person, you have up until and including the first day of classes to make payment. If full payment cannot be made, La Salle's Deferred Payment Plan may be used.

What if I am unable to complete payment by the due date?
The University has a Deferred Payment Plan that provides for the payment of educational expenses in monthly installments. See "Deferred Payment Plan" information below. If you are unable to pay your educational expenses by the beginning of the semester and if the Deferred payment plan will not service your purposes, then we suggest that you contact the Financial Aid Office and inquire if there are any other aid programs available for you. Registration is not considered complete until a student has cleared his or her financial obligation.

What is the University's Deferred Payment Plan?
The Deferred Payment Plan is offered by the University to provide a way to pay up to 75% of tuition and fees in monthly installments during the semester. The maximum amount that can be deferred is 75% of the semester educational expenses less any University student financial aid. To participate in the Deferred Payment Plan, the completed Promissory Note form must be presented to the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable along with any required down payment (usually 25%).

Then, three subsequent monthly payments are made during the semester. There is a twenty-five dollar ($25) application fee, which is paid with your first monthly installment and a finance charge calculated at the rate of one-half percent (0.5%) of the average daily balance per month. Delinquent payments are subject to a late fee of five dollars ($5) or five percent (5%) of the past due balance, whichever is greater. The Deferred Payment Plan Promissory Note is included with each semester's invoice or can be printed from the La Salle website at www.lasalle.edu.

What is the Academic Management Service Plan (AMS)?
AMS is a prepayment plan through which payments for a year's expenses are completed over a 10-month period. The first payment starts in May and applications must be submitted no later than mid-August. For additional information, call AMS toll free at 1-800-635-0120 or click here to visit AMS web site at http://www.amsweb.com

What should be done if I decide to change my Meal Plan?
When you receive your invoice, if you decide to change your meal plan, you should notify the Food Service Department.

Can I pay my bill on-line?
Yes. You can make a payment on both your tuition and/or deferred account with a credit card on the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable Web site at www.lasalle.edu/bursar.

What if I have a third party pay my tuition?
If you have a recognized third party (employer, labor union, foundation, etc.) who is paying all of your tuition, you may send a copy of the "official notification" along with your invoice and credit will be applied to your invoice for the authorized amount of the sponsor's award. Be sure to also enclose your check or other form of payment for any balance due. To be eligible, the sponsor's award notification must be from a recognized "organization', not an individual, clearly indicate the amount that will be paid, give all necessary billing instructions and be signed by an authorized representative. IF THE ORGANIZATION SENDS THE PAYMENT AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR GRADES FOR THE SEMESTER, you must pay the tuition in full at the beginning of the semester, or apply for financial aid to cover the tuition charges.
