Paying Your Bill


Need to make a payment on your student account? We offer many easy, convenient ways for you to do just that.

Online Payments
Secure online payments can be made via electronic check. Credit card - Discover, MasterCard or Visa - payments may be made online through Transact by using your Lion's Den account.

Payment by Mail or In-Person
Use any of the following methods:

  • Cash (cash payments will not be accepted after 5pm)
  • Check
  • Money order
  • Discover, Visa or MasterCard

Cash Discounts on Payments

All payments made using cash, check, or ACH electronic online payment will be discounted.  Please note, the tuition and fee charges will not be discounted—only the payment amount will be discounted.  You will pay more if you use a credit or debit card (whether online, in person, or over the phone).

How it works, for example:

  • Full-Time Undergraduate Tuition charge     $19,815.00
  • Amount Paid if credit or debit card is used  $20,399.54
  • Amount Paid if cash, check or ACH is used  $19,815.00

To avoid paying the higher amount, the following payment methods can be used.

  • Paper check
  • Electronic check payment (when paying online) - a bank routing and account number are required to pay via electronic check
  • Cash (when paying in person at the Bursar's Office)

Checks
Make out all checks to Molloy University, being sure to include your student ID number on the check. This can be found in the upper left-hand corner of your statement of account. Checks returned to Molloy University for insufficient funds will be subject to a $25 returned fee. If you are notified of a returned check, the amount must immediately be replaced with cash, credit card or money order. If a second check is returned for insufficient funds, you may not be permitted to use a personal check in the future.

Personal Checks

Personal Checks will not be accepted for current semester payment two weeks before registration begins for the next semester. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for dates.

 

Other Payment Options


Past Due Accounts


Students are responsible for the payment of tuition/room and board bills by the due date as stated on the Student Statement of Account Invoice. The following information includes the billing process and procedures regarding student account balances:

It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that their billing address is correct. See the student registration agreement.  Should it be necessary to change your personal information, see the Registrar for more information.

The exact due date will be published on the initial billing invoice. This date is linked to the General Registration date. On or after this date, any student who registers for Fall or Spring semesters must pay in full upon registration.

Payment for the Fall semester is due early August, as noted in the Academic Calendar.

Payment for the Spring semester is due early January, as noted in the Academic Calendar.

Students are responsible for monitoring their account for updates and/or changes to their bill. The Office of the Bursar will send out regular correspondence regarding important information and/or updates to student’s accounts. This correspondence will be sent out via mail, email, phone calls and/or text messages.

Approximately two weeks before Registration begins for an upcoming semester, Bursar Holds will be placed on student accounts showing an unpaid balance.
