Paying Your Fall Bill

If you have completed the billing information and registered for your courses, you now have all the necessary information to pay your fall semester bill. The Course & Fee Statement is available at TIU Access as soon as you register, but financial aid may not be complete. You should contact the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible if you have any questions on grants, scholarships or loans. You will be responsible for the balance due effective the first day of the semester.

Follow the instructions listed below to make your payment arrangements for the Fall semester.

Here are some details you need to know:

• Payment is due on or before the first day of the semester. This is a new due date that allows more time for you to finalize your payment arrangements. Failure to finalize payment arrangements will result in fine.
• Failure to Finalize Payment Arrangements Fine. If payment arrangements (payment in full or enrollment in a payment plan) are not completed by the end of the second week, you will be charged a non-refundable $200 fine. If you intend for financial aid (grants, scholarships or loans) to cover your balance, you must have completed all the requirements to receive those funds by the above due dates to avoid the fine(s).
• FAILURE TO PAY TUITION BY THE DUE DATE DOES NOT CANCEL REGISTRATION in the Fall or Spring semesters. Students are responsible for officially withdrawing if they choose not to return to Trinity. 
• A four-month payment plan is available. The first payment along with the signed payment plan form is required by August 15. To be enrolled in the plan both the payment and a signed payment plan must be received by the Student Accounting Office by August 15.
• A three-month plan is also available with the first payment along with the signed payment plan form due on or before the first day of the semester. To be enrolled in the plan both the payment and a signed payment plan must be received by the Student Accounting Office on or before the first day of the semester.
• If you have any questions, please contact the Student Accounting Office (Contact Us). We want to make this process as efficient and clear as possible.

Payment Procedure 

Step 1: Review and have your Course and Fee Statement from TIU Access in front of you. This statement does not reflect any current balances, but will be sufficient for your semester’s payment arrangements. Please review your charges carefully. If you think that there is a problem or you have a question, contact the Student Accounting Office as soon as possible. If you have questions about your financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid Office at (847) 317-8060 immediately.

Step 2: Choose your Payment Preference. By clicking on the payment option below, a PDF file will pull up which you need to print, fill out and return to the Student Accounting Office. Remember, a payment plan will only be valid if both the form and the payment are received by the Student Accounting Office by the applicable due date. Fines and deferment fees may be assessed if all information is not received.

Payment In Full: Payment is due on or before the first day of the semester.

4-Month Payment Plan: Payment and Form are due by August 15.

3-Month Payment Plan: Payment and Form are due on or before the first day of the semester.

Step 3: Send the completed Payment Form and your Payment to the Student Accounting Office. These must be received in our office no later than August 15 for the four-month payment plan or by the first day of the semester for payment in full or the three-month payment plan. Please be sure to keep a copy for your records.

Credit Balance Procedure

If your Course & Fee Statement indicates that you have a credit balance (the amount would have a negative sign), you have multiple options available to you:

1. Request a check for the remaining balance. Simply contact us. Once all your aid (loans, scholarships and grants) is receipted to your student account, we will issue a check for all or any portion of your credit.

2. Leave the balance on your student account for future use. If your credit is a result of Title IV funds (loans or federal grants) and you wish to leave them on your account, please print and return the Appendix B pdf form. Remember that you are free at any time to receive these funds.  

3. Take out up to $750 in cash per week. For those whose aid has not yet come in, we will advance you $750 one time for books and materials. Once all aid has been receipted to your student account, you are free to receive cash, check or keep it on your account. (The check cashing limit remains at $200 per week).
