Payment Options
蹤獲扦 bills students on a per-semester basis. Bills for the fall semester are issued starting in July, and bills for the spring term start in mid-December. Charges for tuition, housing and food, lab and other course fees, health insurance (if applicable), and any other charges that you have incurred will be on your bill, along with any financial aid that you are receiving and payments previously made on your account.
All domestic traditional undergraduate students will automatically be enrolled in a payment plan. Rather than one due date at the start of the term for your entire balance, your balance due will be divided equally into monthly payments for a small fee of $30/semester. Students who are registered on July 1 will have plans that start July 15 and will run through December 15, giving you six months to pay off your fall charges. However, those students that register later will have shorter plans and higher monthly payments because there is less time to pay. If the balance is paid in full by August 15, we will reverse the $30 plan fee.
If you are not a traditional undergraduate student you can still enroll in a payment plan.Please fill out this and email it to studentaccounts@northpark.edu. Your student account specialist will be in touch with you shortly after to confirm your payment plan agreement.
All other students are subject to the following due dates:
Fall: August 15
Spring: January 15
Summer: May 15
If you are initially registered and billed after the tuition due date, then your balance is due upon receipt.

North Park offers a monthly payment plan, available to students in all our academic programs, that will allow you to pay your bill via monthly payments throughout the semester. A Student Services Specialist will work with you to ensure that your payment plan is accurate throughout the term.

- Payments are due on the 15th of the month.
- The balance of the plan must be paid in full prior to the end of the term.

- I will remain on a payment plan for the remainder of this academic year.
- If a student wishes to pay in full before the 8/15 deadline, they must still pay July’s tuition.
- 蹤獲扦 has the right to adjust the payment plan should there be changes to my student account due to changes with my registration, financial aid eligibility, etc. The University will regularly review my account to ensure the accuracy of my payment plan.

Additional Payment Options
蹤獲扦 does not offer Employer Reimbursement as a student account payment option. Your tuition due date will not be deferred if you have these benefits. You will work with your employer directly to be reimbursed for payments already made to North Park by the stated due date. If you need to submit documentation to your employer regarding your course schedule, grades, charges, etc., Student Accounts can provide this information upon your request. Contact (773) 244-5560 or studentaccounts@northpark.edu.
If you are working on campus, money you earn can be directly applied to your tuition bill as you earn it. In order to choose this option and have some or all of your University paycheck automatically credited to your student account, complete the Payroll Deduction Agreement Form and return it to Student Accounts. This may be a good option for undergraduate students who are awarded as part of their financial aid package. Remember that if you will not be earning enough to cover your entire balance through Payroll Deduction, you will need to make other arrangements to pay the rest of your charges.
