Marquette University Payment Policy

The staff in Marquette Central is dedicated to providing service to our students and families in a professional and friendly manner while following the policies and procedures set forth by the university. The office provides accurate and timely information about each student’s bursar account while encouraging our students to be active participants in managing their account.

The final step to complete a student’s registration is payment in full of all fees for the term. Marquette University sends a monthly electronic billing statement to each student while the student has an account balance. A student may also view his/her e-bill via CheckMarq. Payment due dates are available at marquette.edu/mucentral. It is the student’s responsibility to pay tuition, fees and housing by the published due date whether he/she receives a bill or not. Students who do not plan to attend the university are responsible for dropping classes through CheckMarq and notifying their respective college office. All courses for which a student is officially registered as of the close of registration are subject to fee assessment and payment, and as such to appear as part of the student’s permanent record even if the student does not attend any sessions of the class. To avoid unnecessary fee charges and unnecessary courses with permanent grades of UW, WA or F on the student’s permanent record, it is the student’s responsibility to review his/her official registration prior to the end of late registration to ensure it accurately reflects the courses in which the student plans to be enrolled.

Students who do not pay in full by the due date, enroll in the Marquette Monthly Payment plan or submit a billing authorization from an approved sponsor will have a registration block, transcript block and diploma block placed on their accounts. There will be a $100 fee for the removal of the block. Failure to pay any balance when due may result in the cancellation of a student’s registration for the current academic term, referral of the account to a collection agency, legal action to collect any balance due or any combination thereof. If the university must take legal action to collect any unpaid balance, the student will be responsible for all fees and costs incurred by the university to collect the unpaid balance.

Tuition Discounts

Students interested in taking a course on an audit basis must first register for the course for credit, then request a change in enrollment status to audit by informing their appropriate school (Graduate School or Graduate School of Management). Students must notify the Graduate School by submitting the Audit Request form found at marquette.edu/grad/forms. Graduate accounting, business administration, economics, executive business or human resources students must notify the Graduate School of Management.

Students must have the proper background and prerequisites for the course in question. Auditors are required to attend all classes and are expected to participate, based on the nature of the course, and/or complete assignments, at the discretion of the instructor. Students who register for an audit course will receive a 50 percent discount on the tuition for that course. This discount is not available to individuals who take the senior citizen discount.

A 50 percent senior citizen discount on tuition (only) is available to individuals 62 years of age and older taking graduate courses for credit and/or audit. This opportunity is offered to students who have the proper background and prerequisites for the course(s) in question. Students using the senior citizen discount are not eligible for the audit discount.
