Payment Options

Payment at Registration 

Students must have any prior balances on their accounts settled before beginning the registration process for a future semester or academic year. Full payment or the first installment of the payment plan is due on the semester due date (Monday before the first day of the semester). Failure to make payment will result in students being dropped from classes. Please refer to the Payment and Paperwork Policy listed under the Financial Aid Section of the catalog for more information. Students will not be permitted to register for a subsequent semester or receive a copy of their transcripts until their payment status is current.

Semester Payment Plan 

Students unable to pay the full amount on the payment due date may use the semester payment plan. One-third of the total semester balance (less financial aid awards) must be paid on the payment due date, and the remaining two-thirds are paid in three equal monthly payments due on or before the dates listed above. A fee is charged for using the payment plan. Students may be charged a late fee if payments arrive after the due date for each payment. The payment plan may be unavailable to students with a history of late payments or to those who have had a previous Rochester Christian University account forwarded on to a collection agency.
