Payment Plans & Deadlines

You must confirm your registration and intent to participate in the upcoming semester by finalizing your financial arrangements with Student Financial Services.  You will receive an Initial Payment Worksheet form one month before the start of each semester which indicates the estimated charges for tuition, fees, room and board.  The form summarizes your term charges, less your estimated financial aid, and calculates the payment due.  The form must be returned with your signature and any payment due by the confirmation deadline.  The form must be returned even if financial aid fully covers the amount due for the term. 

Payment is due by the following confirmation deadlines: 

• Fall:  August 5, 2005
• Spring: January 5, 2006

To confirm your registration, return your signed Initial Payment Worksheet with necessary payment to Student Financial Services by the confirmation deadline.  All registrations not confirmed by the confirmation deadline through the close of business on the second day of classes will be charged a non-refundable $100 late fee.  Registrations not confirmed by the second day of classes will be cancelled and you will be required to register on a space available basis. 

Puget Sound offers several options for payment of your remaining tuition, fees, room and board after your financial aid is considered.

Option 1: Payment in full
Payment for each term's remaining balance must be paid in full by the confirmation deadline.

Option 2: Payment Plan
This plan allows for extended payment of the remaining balance.  Under this plan, the net amount due for the semester plus an $80 payment plan participation fee is divided into five equal monthly payments.

Option 3: Private Education Loan
Students may apply for loan funds to cover all or a portion of the remaining balance.

Payment Plans incur an $80 per-semester participation fee.  Each semester’s initial payment is due by the published confirmation date, with ensuing payments due to firth of each following month (September through December for Fall, and February through May for Spring).   A late fee of 1% will be assessed each month for payments not received by the due date.

Student Financial Services provides monthly statements of account to a student’s permanent mailing address.  We ask that you review these statements to confirm that payments, scholarships, and loans are accurately reflected on your student account.

Credit Balances 

If your financial aid is more than the amount needed to cover the charges on your student account, you may request a refund check for the difference between the amount you owe and the amount of financial aid disbursed to your account.  Refund checks can be requested as soon as a credit balance appears on your account. Refund checks cannot, however, be released until the first day of the semester.
