Due Dates and Payments

Paying for your education at St. John’s College is straightforward, and there are flexible options if you need them. This page covers billing timelines, payment methods, and what to expect if you’re using financial aid or need a payment plan.

Billing & Payment Schedule

Tuition and fees are billed each semester. You’ll receive a billing notice in your student portal after registration.

Payment Due:
All tuition and fees must be paid in full one month prior to the first day of each semester unless you are enrolled in a payment plan.

Late Payments may result in:

• Class cancellation
• Registration holds
• Transcript or diploma restrictions

Refunds & Overpayments

If your financial aid exceeds your tuition and fee charges, you may receive a refund.

• Refunds are issued after the 10th day of class, once aid is disbursed and charges are covered
• Refunds are processed as direct deposit or check

Important Note on Institutional Scholarships/Grants

• Institutional aid is limited to direct costs only. It can be applied to tuition, mandatory fees.
• Institutional aid will never exceed your direct charges or create a cash refund. If your total aid package (excluding the Federal Pell Grant and any federal student loans you borrow) later covers all direct costs, the College will reduce or remove institutional aid so that your billed charges are not overpaid.
• Examples of “other aid” that could trigger a reduction include private scholarships, employer tuition assistance, external grants, Veterans benefits, WIOA funds, or state awards.
• Any adjustment to institutional aid will appear on your student account, and you will receive an updated aid offer by email.

Please keep this policy in mind as you report outside scholarships or other resources to the Financial Aid Office.
