Payment Options

All students are bound by the payment due date (determined by the initial registration date) whether or not a computerized bill is re­ceived. Students who register after the officially designated pay­ment due date must be prepared to pay or make appropriate payment arrangements as soon as possible. Students who register or pay after the initial registration and payment period may incur late fees. Payment dates can always be found on the college’s website.

Financial Aid

The term ‘financial aid’ refers to all forms of federal and state aid programs, federal loans, institutional aid and scholarships, as well as external scholarships. Students must complete the appropriate FAFSA application in order to apply for financial aid. A financial aid award letter will be emailed once the college receives all necessary information and determines the student’s eligibility. Students must accept their award letter on their self-service portal indicating the aid and loans they plan to accept or decline.

Only validated financial aid awards will appear on invoices and student accounts. If there are any discrepancies or aid is missing, please contact our financial aid office by e‑mail at financialaid@sfc.edu. Balances not covered by financial aid must be paid by the designated due date.

International Payments

St. Francis College has partnered with the FlyWire International payment portal to streamline the fee payment process for our international students and payers. FlyWire offers multiple payment options, excellent foreign exchange rates and allows you to pay from almost any country. They will ensure that your payment arrives safely and accurately.

Third-Party Billing

Students may submit third-party vouchers by the official payment due date. Vouchers will only be accepted in lieu of payment as long as the sponsoring agent assumes responsibility for payment upon receiving an invoice from the College. Students are expected to make appropriate arrangements if a third party fails to pay any portion of the bill.

Employer-sponsored tuition reimbursement programs do not qualify as third-party billing. Companies that do not pay before final grades are recorded may not sponsor students for third-party billing. In such cases, students must pay out of pocket and seek reimbursement through their employer or sponsor.
