General Payment Information
Rochester Christian University’s continued success in its mission and growth depends on the timeliness of students’ payments. Rochester Christian University expects accounts to be paid on time, according to one of the payment options listed below. All fees are assessed and payable in U.S. dollars.
Cash, Check, or Money Order
Checks and money orders should be made payable to Rochester Christian University and brought or mailed to the cashier in the Business Office.
Credit/Debit Card
Credit/Debit card payments may be made in person, called in directly to the cashier at 248.218.2053, or made online through the student portal.

Employer Reimbursement
Students who qualify for employer reimbursement may defer payment up to five weeks after the last day of the semester. To qualify for deferred payment, the student’s employer must NOT require proof of payment in full before reimbursement. If proof of payment is required, students may not defer payment, and students must follow one of our other payment options. Students are also not eligible for deferred payment if the reimbursement documentation requires earning a certain grade in the course. Students must submit to Student Financial Services a copy of their employer’s reimbursement policy, as well as documentation from their employer that verifies their eligibility. This documentation must be on file for students who have an outstanding balance and would like to register for a subsequent semester.
Tuition Voucher
Students may enroll in a tuition voucher program when their employer has a program in which they will pay the university directly. Rochester Christian University requires that the student submit their employer's tuition vouchers to the Student Financial Services office during the registration process. Documentation must be on file with the Student Financial Services office in order to be eligible to register for subsequent semesters as long as there is an outstanding balance.
Past Due Accounts
Students with a past due balance on their accounts are unable to register for subsequent semesters. A finance charge of 1.5% (18% APR) may be applied monthly to past due accounts. Nonpayment of past due accounts may result in the account being placed with a collection agency.
Collection Agency Placements
Accounts placed with a collection agency are charged default fees (not to exceed 33%) and possible legal fees in addition to the balance due. The payee becomes responsible to the collection agency for all contact and payment arrangements. Readmission to the university is not permitted until the amount in collections is paid in full. A list of collection agencies used by the university can be provided by the Business Office, upon request.
