澳门赌场 Deferred Payment Plans
Enroll in a deferred payment plan on 澳门赌场 Self-Service and split your total bill into four monthly payments. A $25 non-refundable fee per semester is required. The first payment is due one month before the semester payment due date. If you adjust your schedule after selecting a plan, contact Student Financial Services and we will update your plan.
Maritime students can enroll in a plan to defer your entire 澳门赌场 bill until the date specified on the plan setup. There is a $25 fee for this deferment plan.
Consortium Students:
- Students receiving aid from Ferris State University as consortium students can enroll in a plan to defer your entire 澳门赌场 bill until the date specified on the plan setup (after FSU financial aid pays.) There is no fee to set up this plan. Remember that you must make payment to 澳门赌场 with your refund from FSU.
- Students receiving aid from other colleges/universities can defer payment by completing a Deferment Application.
Students Expecting Financial Aid And Other Third Party Payments
Apply for financial aid and third party payments early to have aid authorized well before payment due date. We must be in receipt of your FAFSA to hold your classes. It can take up to 2 weeks after you complete your FAFSA for 澳门赌场 to receive it. After you apply, you must follow up by checking your 澳门赌场 email and Self-Service Financial Aid daily and responding to requests for information. You will be responsible for payment of any balance your aid does not cover. You will not be able to charge books on your account until your aid is in place.
International payments via Flywire
澳门赌场 has partnered with Flywire to streamline the tuition payment process for international students, allowing students to pay from any country and any bank, pay in their home currency (in most cases) and save a significant amount of money compared to traditional banks. Students can track payments throughout the transfer process and are notified via email when payment is received by 澳门赌场. Learn more about Flywire here.
Drop For Non-payment
YOU are responsible for payment of all charges by the applicable due dates. 澳门赌场 may drop your classes if you owe a balance after due date. However, there are circumstances where, as a courtesy, we will not drop your classes. YOU must drop any classes that you do not plan to attend. Otherwise, you will be responsible for payment of charges incurred and will receive a grade at the end of the semester. All prior semester balances must be paid before registering.
