Financial Arrangements

After registering for classes each semester, students at Saint Louis University must make financial arrangements regarding their billed costs to secure placement within those courses. Financial arrangements include: paying in full, enrolling in a semester payment plan, or securing a loan or other financial aid that will cover the balance in full.  Financial arrangements must be finalized by the official census date of each semester.

Students have the option of several payment plans to assist with affording a SLU education:

Pay in Full

Students may pay their semester bills in full to Saint Louis University. 

Pay Monthly

Students may enroll in one of two monthly payment plan options:

  • Semester Enrollment Fee: Students who choose this option make interest-free monthly payments but are assessed a $75 enrollment fee each semester.
  • Interest Charge: Students who choose this option are assessed a 1% interest charge each month on any unpaid balance.

Students with an outstanding balance of between $4,000 and $5,000 or more typically benefit from choosing the payment plan with the enrollment fee. Students with smaller outstanding balances are more likely to benefit from choosing the payment plan with the 1% interest charge.
