Payment of tuition, room and board, and other course charges is due approximately 15 days prior to the beginning of classes for first and second terms.

A student’s registration is not complete until all tuition, fees and housing are paid. A student who does not pay in full or make acceptable payment arrangements with the Office of the Bursar by the due date will be assessed a late payment fee.

Payment Arrangements

All students are expected to make payment in full approximately 15 days prior to each term. Payment arrangements may be made with the Office of the Bursar if students (and parents) are unable to make payment from personal funds or if financial aid will not be available until after the term begins.

Methods of Payment

Pre-Registration Payment Option

Students who have registered for classes will receive a billing statement in early-July and December for each respective term. The statement will detail term tuition and fees.

If payment is made in full or if the student opts for the approved installment payment plan covering the term’s charges, the student will receive confirmation of his or her registration.

Financial aid awards (excluding employment) for the current term will be deducted from the total charges for the term. The balance due minus any installment payment plan amount is payable to the Office of the Bursar prior to the start of classes.

Refunds and Adjustments

Students who have prepaid charges but do not register for classes will be given a full refund, less applicable non-refundable deposits. Students who register for classes and subsequently change their course load through either a partial withdrawal from courses or a complete withdrawal from the university will have adjustments made to their student accounts. If an adjustment results in a refund due to the student, proper application must be made with the Marquette Central Office to obtain the refund. See this bulletin for a full description of withdrawal procedures.

After the first class, laboratory and special course fees are non-refundable. Tuition deposits are non-refundable but are applied toward first term tuition charges.

Security deposits and refunds for university apartment housing are subject to the terms of the lease.

Refunds for tuition and board will be given based on the following schedules:
