Paying Your Tuition and Fees

Academic student fees and tuition for credit instruction are approved by the Board of Trustees while adopting the annual operating budget, except that the Board of Trustees have delegated to the president the authority to approve special service-based pricing for some programs, and RFUMS are authorized to establish pricing for distance education and certain other programs on a cost recovery basis.

Students are notified via university email that their electronic statements are ready to be viewed once they have been registered and billed. A 1.5% late fee will be assessed on the student account if payment is not posted to the student account by the due date. Students utilizing Veteran Affairs education benefits, view exceptions that may apply.

Please note: Payments made online are automatically posted to the student account. Mailed payments can take up to 7-10 business days to be received and posted to the student account.

Students can log into Self-Service.  Click on “Student Finance”, and then select “Make a Payment” under “Financial Information", then type in your username and password.  Follow the screen prompts to pay by e-check or credit card*. The student account will be credited immediately, and the transaction will show on the student account within 24 hours.

RFU Payment Plan

The RFU Payment Plan allows you to divide your educational expenses into 3 equal monthly payments per term. A $10 fee will be charged each term you are enrolled in that academic year, and that amount is included in that term’s first installment. You will automatically be enrolled in future terms payment plans.

If you are receiving full Financial Aid and do not expect to owe a balance you need not enroll in this payment plan.

You will receive a confirmation email once your payment plan is created. This usually occurs two weeks prior to the due date of each term. This will give you the installment amounts and the date each payment is due.

Enrolling in the RFU Payment Plan

You’ll find the Tuition Payment Plan Application on Student Financial Services Form page under the Student Finance Forms section. You may enroll up to the term due date.

Payments can be submitted once enrollment is completed and any time after, through Self-Service with an electronic check, wire transfer, or by credit card (there will be a 2.5% additional surcharge on the amount for credit card transactions).
