Payment Policy for: Tuition, Fees, Room and Meal Plan

When students register for courses, they assume a legal obligation to pay for tuition, fees, and all related charges. Registration for a given semester is not complete until all charges are paid by the billing due dates, or until acceptable payment arrangements have been made with Student Financial Services prior to the due date. Students must be actively registered to reside in campus housing, receive student meal plan privileges, and receive all other university services and amenities.

Student Financial Services participates in 100% online, real-time billing. EBills are accessible via the Mercyhurst student Hub (hub.mercyhurst.edu). Students are encouraged to grant ‘Authorized Party’ access to those who might have an interest in viewing and paying their bill. Summer bills are available in late May and are due in late June. Fall semester bills are available in late June and are due in early August. Spring semester bills are available in early December and are due in early January. Any charges assessed after the initial billing due date are due immediately and must be paid within 30 days to avoid any late fees. Students and those who have been granted ‘Authorized Party’ access should check the eBill regularly for any updates and changes the students have made.
