Business Office

Trinity Hall 100, 260-434-3221

Tuition, room and board and other fees are paid here. Paychecks for student employees are available to be picked up on payday every two weeks. The refund policy for tuition and fees is available through several sources (the Undergraduate Catalog, the Graduate Catalog, the Undergraduate and Graduate Course Schedule, and the University of Saint Francis internet web site) as a reference for students when needed.

Check Cashing

During published office hours, students may cash personal checks or checks received from parents up to an amount of $25 by presenting a current Student ID card. Two-party checks may be cashed; however, the party cashing the check is responsible for any charges and checks returned as uncollectible. There is a $25 service charge if a check is returned to the university for any reason, and the privilege of cashing checks will be suspended after a second return.

Returned Checks

Checks returned unpaid because of insufficient funds or for any other reason are considered a serious matter by the university. The student whose account was credited will be notified that the check has been returned.   Returned checks must be redeemed at the Business Office, with cash, cashier's check or money order by the due date on the notice sent to the student. Personal checks are not acceptable for the redemption of a returned check.

Payment of Fees

Tuition and fees are to be paid at least one week prior to the beginning of each semester. Students with a past due balance on their student account are placed on Business Office Hold. Students who have a Business Office Hold on their student account will have their opportunity to register for classes deferred until the student account is paid in full and/or the student has presented to the Business Office a Student Account Payment Worksheet with an acceptable plan for payment. Tuition and fee payment due dates and payment procedures are listed in the Schedule of Courses for each semester.

More Information about Payment Plans

Delinquent Accounts

All unpaid bills are subject to the following regulations which require:

  • That no credit for university work may be given to any student for a diploma, or a teacher's certificate, or for transfer purposes, until all debts to the university, other than student loans, have been paid.

  • That students will not be eligible for readmission unless accounts are paid in full for the current session.

  • That upon recommendation of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, students who are deficient in their accounts may be restricted from attending classes until satisfactory arrangements have been made for payment of their past due obligations to the university.
