How can I pay my bill?

Bills may be paid by check, cash, credit card, or by making online credit card or webcheck payments through Banner Web Self-Service. Payments may be sent to the office through the mail, or over the phone. The College offers two payment plans as outlined in the Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement which is sent to new students. These plans are the Standard Payment Plan (payment in full on August 10 and January 10) and the Deferred Payment Plan (monthly payments due on the 10th of August, September, October, and November for Fall Semester, and January, February, March, and April for Spring semester). The Deferred payment plan has a finance charge of 1% per month based on the outstanding balance due.

What is the Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement?

The Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement is an agreement between the student and the College that outlines how the student will pay their obligation to the school.  It also outlines finance charges,  use of ID card, use of Financial Aid, and your billing rights.  You must have a Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statment filed with the school. 

How can I submit a Payment Agreement and Disclosure Statement?

You can access the agreement at https://www.csbsju.edu/csbstudentaccounts/payagree.aspx.  Please read the agreement thoroughly before submitting. 

Why do I have a finance charge?

A finance charge of 1% per month (Annual Percentage Rate of 12%) is applied to the "adjusted balance" due on the 10th of each month.  The adjusted balance is calculated by taking the previous balance on your statement and subtracting any credits and payments.  To avoid a finance charge, your payment in full must reach the Student Accounts Office by the 10th of the following month.
