Payment Options

Financial Services' Deferral

If you are unable to pay your entire balance by the due date on your bill, we offer a Financial Services' Deferral to creditworthy students. Send one half of your balance due (after deducting any Financial Aid) along with the upper portion of your billing statement by the due date on your bill. We will mail you a Promissory Note for the remaining balance that will be due approximately six weeks into the semester. Your financial obligations will not be met until the promissory note is signed and returned to Financial Services. Interest on this deferral accrues from the due date on your bill and is calculated at 1% per month.

Students are able to defer one half of their balance three weeks into the session. No interest is charged on summer deferrals. However, the balance does need to be paid by the due date to avoid default charges.

Employer Sponsored Tuition Plan (ESTP)

Eligible students are now able to defer tuition payment until the end of the semester based on their employer's planned tuition reimbursement. If you can't print the following application for payment deferment , you can pick one up from either Financial Services, the Office of Continuing and Professional Education or the Office of Graduate Studies. This form needs to be filled out by both the student and employer and submitted to Financial Services, along with any charges that are not covered by the employer, by the billing due date. Students must provide a Visa, MasterCard or Discover number on the ESTP application. This authorizes Financial Services to charge any unpaid balance to your credit card should payment not be received by the date indicated on the deferral. A $50 late fee will be assessed if full payment is not received by the due dates indicated on the ESTP deferral or if a credit card cannot be processed. It is also the students responsibility to provide Nazareth College with a copy of their employer's tuition reimbursement policy on company letterhead each semester.

TuitionPay from Academic Management Services (AMS)

AMS administers the TuitionPay interest free monthly payment plans offered for the fall and spring semesters. Two separate plans are available. The 10 payment plan allows full time undergraduate students to pay education expenses for the fall and spring semesters interest free over a period of ten months. There is an annual enrollment fee of $55. To determine the amount of your contract, calculate your total expenses (for both fall and spring semesters) less financial aid and any deposits that have already been made. To determine your monthly payment, divide your contract amount by 10. Your first payment to AMS will be due June 1. The deadline for enrollment is the first day of the fall semester. If you enroll after June 1 you will need to catch up on any monthly payments that you have missed.

A second plan is now offered to part time undergraduate and graduate students registered in at least 6 credit hours per semester. Students are able to pay one semester's education expenses interest free over a period of 4 months with an enrollment fee of $35. The deadlines for enrollment are the first day of each semester. TuitionPay is not offered as a summer payment option. For further information about either plan please call AMS at 1-800-635-0120 or visit their website at http://www.tuitionpay.com

Tuition Waiver

A waiver of graduate and undergraduate tuition is offered to professionals in the field under whose supervision Nazareth student teachers, speech-language pathology clinicians, art therapy clinicians and gerontological nurse practitioner clinicians are placed. The tuition waiver is accepted in lieu of tuition payment. As indicated on the tuition waiver, students may use waivers up to a maximum equivalent of three credit hours per semester. Summer Session I and Summer Session II are considered one semester. A $20 registration fee, a signed promissory note(if you have not received the waiver) and any balance not covered by the tuition waiver are necessary to fulfill your financial obligations. Financial Services must have the tuition waiver no later than three weeks after the first day of the semester.
