Student Accounts Payment Policy

Matriculation Deposit

Upon notification of admission, new students must pay an advance matriculation fee of $100 upon acceptance to Asbury Seminary. The fee can be applied to tuition payments upon matriculation. For students who do not matriculate, the fee will be non-refundable.

Payment of Fees

Charges for all fees, room and board on your account are due and payable two weeks after the last day to drop or add a class. (For specific due date, please refer to the Academic Calendar in the front of the catalog.)

During the Fall and Spring semesters, student accounts may be paid in four equal installments. The fee for the extended payment plan is $25. All accounts not paid in full when the first installment is due will automatically be placed on the extended payment plan.

Payments are due in the business office by 4 pm of the due date. A late fee will be charged for all past due payments. If payment has been made but is less than the amount due, a late fee will be assessed on the amount unpaid.

Overdue Account Policy

Any student delinquent after the final payment is due in a semester will not have grades for courses taken in that semester placed on their transcript, will be removed from any pre-registration they may have for the next semester, and will not be allowed to register for additional classes until their account is cleared. Once the account is cleared, the grades submitted for the courses taken during the semester of delinquency will be placed on the transcript and registration for the next semester will be permitted. Please note that once a delinquent balance is paid that registration must be completed within the normal registration schedule (before the drop/add period ends), and that student enrollment will be subject to class availability.
Students with past due Asbury Seminary Short Term Student Loans will not be allowed to finalize registration for the following semester until their account is cleared.
Students owing a balance on their account at the end of a semester will be dropped from any subsequent classes for which they have pre-registered. Upon payment in full, students may register within the normal registration schedule, subject to course availability.
Students who have a balance due after final payments are due will have a "hold" put on their transcripts and diplomas, and will not be allowed to register for the next semester.

A phone call will be made or letter sent after 60 days advising the student that payments must be made.
90 days after the semester ends, a letter will be sent advising students that they will be turned over to a collection agency.
180 days after the semester ends, the past due accounts of students who have not made satisfactory re-payment arrangements will be turned over to a professional collection agency where their past due amounts will be reported to the national reporting agencies.
After the collection agency has exhausted their efforts, Asbury will authorize the collection agency to litigate against the student, and the receivable will be written off as a bad debt.
