Payment of Accounts
Payment in full is required by the payment due date for each enrollment period. Enrollment periods include semesters, sessions, and may term. The payment due dates for the 2019-2020 academic year are:
Traditional Undergraduate
- Fall 2019 – August 15, 2019
- Spring 2020 – December 15, 2019
- May Term/Summer 2020 – May 1, 2020
Adult & Graduate Studies
- Payment in full is due by the first day of classes each session.
Late payment may be subject to a late fee.
Payments can be made by mail, online, or at the University Business Office during regular business hours (M-F 8:00am-5:00pm).
The financial aid portion of a bill may be deferred if all paperwork has been properly completed and filed with the office of student financial services at least 30 days prior to the beginning of classes. Students who register late or do not comply with the requirement regarding financial aid must pay their accounts in full and may reimburse themselves from their accounts after financial aid has been received.
Payment Plans
For those who wish to pay their balance over the course of the semester, the university offers payment plans through a third party vendor. Students utilizing a payment plan must be current with their payment plan in order to register for future courses. Delinquent payment plans may be cancelled by the third party vendor or Bethel University. When a payment plan is cancelled, the remaining balance of the payment plan will be added back to your student account balance and due to Bethel University, not the vendor.
Failure to Pay
Class registration may be invalidated and the student dropped from the university if their account is not paid in full, or they do not have an approved exception, by the payment due date.
Students must settle their account in full before they can:
- Attend classes for a subsequent enrollment period
- Register for future courses
- Request official transcripts
Students who have not paid in full or made approved arrangements to cover their balance due by the above payment due dates may have their balance automatically enrolled in a payment plan and are responsible to make payments to the third party vendor.
Late Fees
Late fees may be charged to student accounts if payment in full or approved arrangements to cover their balance due have not been made by the above payment date.
Collection Costs
The student will be responsible for any reasonable cost of collection including, but not limited to, legal fees, collection costs, or other incidental charges.
