Payment Policy

It is University policy that all charges for tuition, fees, room, and board are due and payable in full by the scheduled deadline of each term of enrollment. Additional charges to the student's account after registration are due in accordance with published schedules each semester, and are generally due at the time the change is made.

Please note that the typical charge for a full-time resident student for one semester is $15,530.00. The charges for aviation students will be higher due to flight fees. (Students should be prepared to pay in full at the time of registration.) Unless a waiver is submitted to the Controller’s Office by the published deadline, traditional undergraduate students registered for 12 or more credit hours will automatically be enrolled in the University’s group policy and the fee for Student Health Insurance will be automatically added to the student account. The amount due may be reduced by any confirmed financial aid. To receive an approved financial aid package, all documents must be submitted prior to the financial aid deadlines. Call Financial Aid for information at (904) 256-7060 or toll-free at 800-558-3467.

Payments may be made on-line through our service provider, ECSI. VISA, Master Card, and Discover are accepted as well as ACH transactions for payment of students' charges. Access our ePay site by logging on to the University’s Home page http://www.ju.edu/, click the link to My JU, then click the ePay link. The eBill link on that page may be used to view statements prior to Fall 2006 and WebAdvisor can be used to view current bills. Students may also electronically transfer funds directly into Jacksonville University’s bank account.

Pre-Payment Plans:
There are a number of commercial companies that offer pre-payment and loan plans designed to assist parents to provide for educational costs through time payment arrangements. Jacksonville University has an agreement with one such company to which parents make direct payments monthly and the company, in turn, remits payments to Jacksonville University for application to the students' accounts. The plan is interest free with a small annual fee of $55 to enroll. This service is provided by:

Educational Computer Systems, Inc. (ECSI)
1-888-549-3274
http://www.ecsi.net/

Information describing this service will be mailed by ECSI directly to parents and students. You may also access the payment plan application by clicking here. The plan best suited to individual needs should be selected early since payments usually begin in April or May each year for the following academic year.

Students who are covered by a payment plan which has been confirmed to Jacksonville University by the company will not be required to make total payment at the time of registration. Payments to the company must be in current status for the plan to be considered payment on the student account. Changes to Financial Aid or enrollment that impact the balance due will not automatically change the payment plan. If changes are made please contact a student accountant immediately for a payment plan update.

Part-Time Employment:
A concentrated effort is underway to identify part-time employment opportunities for students both on and off campus. Details on these positions may be obtained from Financial Aid and the Career Services Office.

The University does not provide banking facilities. It is recommended that an account be established at one of the local banks for the purpose of cashing checks and other services. Several banks have branch offices in close proximity to the campus. An ATM is available in the Student Center.

Statement of Policy regarding refunds:

  1. Refunds of money will be made to the student.
  2. Refunds for courses dropped or for withdrawal cannot be made until necessary paperwork has cleared through the Controller’s Office.
  3. When financial aid is involved, refund cannot be made until the aid funds are received by the University from the awarding agency and posted to the student’s account.
  4. Refund of financial aid that is subject to pro-ration based on date of withdrawal from courses will not be made until after the fourth week of the semester.
  5. Refund of the balance of the Residence Hall Damage Deposit occasioned by the student's withdrawing from the University or moving out of the residence halls will not be made until the end of the semester or term in which the withdrawal or move occurred.
