Paying Your Bill

Payment or documentation to clear your charges must be received by the due date in order to enroll for the current semester.

• There is an automatic HOLD on Grades and Transcripts until all financial obligations have been met.
• All seniors must clear accounts one month prior to graduation in order to participate in Commencement Exercises and receive their Diploma.

When it is necessary to forward an unpaid account to an outside collection agency, the student is responsible for all collection fees.

All charges are payable on the dates noted below. In all cases of payment past the due date, a late fee of $300 will be assessed each semester.

In accordance with Saint Joseph's College policy, FULL PAYMENT of the total bill must be made. The only deductions allowed are as follows:

1. Scholarships, grants and loans awarded through the Office of Financial Aid, only if you have received the financial aid letter and have returned all other required documents.
2. College scholarships awarded at the time of admission.
3. Scholarships or sponsorships by state or federal agencies, organizations, school districts or companies that are payable to the College. Provide supporting award authorization and complete the school's form.
4. ALL BANK LOANS. Loans in process may be deducted only if the application has been certified by the Office of Financial Aid. Half of the estimated loan disbursement will be deducted for the fall semester, and the other half for the spring semester.
5. Education Benefits (Veteran or other monthly payments). Enclose copy of award letter which specifies amount of monthly payments.
6. Tuition Plan Participation. The semester portion may be deferred only the tuition plan company (Nelnet Campus Commerce) has notified the school.  SJC receives an updated list daily.

Other special problems should be brought to our attention immediately for review and consideration. Please call 207-893-7732 or 893-7737.

Can I request an updated bill?

What happens to my housing deposit if I still owe money?

Housing deposit money is applied to the unpaid bill if the student does not return due to prior year balance. It is forfeited if student decides not to be a resident or withdraws.

Why didn't I get my grades?

Your grades and transcripts will be held until all financial obligations have been met.

How do I apply for a loan to cover the balance?

Many of our families choose to use a  federal parent loan to pay all or part of the balance remaining after financial aid. We encourage you to research your loan options carefully.

Below is a billing statement sample. However, it is not all-inclusive and serves only as a guideline to help you prepare for your semester expenses. If you have any questions, you should contact 207-893-7732.
