Financial Information

General Information

The University’s cost of providing a Gonzaga education is not borne solely by student tuition and fees. The annual Jesuit Community gift, endowment income, and gifts of many types from individuals, firms, and foundations constitute some of the other revenue sources essential for a balanced budget.

However, revenue from student charges constitutes most of Gonzaga’s income. Student charges (less verified financial aid) are payable in full in U.S. dollars on a per semester basis, no later than three weeks prior to the beginning of the term. Knowing that payment in full presents a burden for many parents and students, Gonzaga offers installment plans each semester which spread payments over four months.

4-Month Installment Payment Plan (per semester)

Gonzaga University has partnered with Transact Payments (formerly known as CASHNet) to provide a completely automated and paperless 4-month semester payment plan. 

Installment Payment Plan features:

• Interest free
• Real-time account balance information through Transact Payments for students and their authorized payers.
• The total semester cost, less verified financial aid (excluding work study and pending outside scholarships) can be set up in 4 equal monthly installments.
• Automatic payment enrollment (optional)
• Enrollment is by semester and includes a $50 non-refundable enrollment fee each term

Spring Semester 4 Month Plan (Enrollment Deadline January 4, 2023)

Additional information:

• Students accepted to the University after the installment plan deadline dates may still enroll within two weeks of their acceptance, making up any missed payments and will not be assessed the additional $25 late enrollment fee. 
• Students are not eligible to enroll in an installment plan if they owe for a previous term.
• The payment plan covers only one term, so you will need to re-enroll every term.
• Students can only be enrolled in one Payment Plan each semester.

• Note: All charges are payable in U.S. funds. Student Accounts accepts checks for payment on account. Electronic payment is also available which includes e-Check at no charge to the student and credit card payment through American Express, MasterCard, Discover and VISA with a 2.75% convenience fee.  An international payment option is available through Flywire.  Billing statements are available ONLINE only.  For additional information, go to: www.gonzaga.edu/studentaccounts and click on the ‘Billing and Payment’ link.

Third Party Sponsors

A student whose account will be paid by a corporate or foreign sponsor, a government agency, a religious institution, a scholarship foundation or trust account, requires written proof of sponsorship in the Student Accounts Office to settle their account. The student must provide the Student Accounts Office with a purchase order or written statement of intent to pay by the third party no later than the semester's billing deadline. If there are stipulations associated with the payment agreement, such as a minimum grade point average, then the student must either pay Gonzaga University directly or enroll in one of the payment options.

Confirmation Deposit

In order to reserve a place in the student body, each first-time student is required to pay a $ 500.00 confirmation deposit. This will apply as a credit toward first semester tuition expenses. Confirmation deposits are non-refundable unless written notification of cancellation of enrollment is received by the Admission Office prior to its deadline dates.

Room Reservation/Damage Deposit

Students are expected to make housing reservations with the Housing office prior to May 1st for fall semester and prior to December 1st for spring semester. All new students must complete and sign a Residential Living Application/Agreement. Reservations for new students must be accompanied by a $200 advance room deposit fee which is non-refundable after June 1st for fall semester and January 1st for spring semester. This room reservation deposit converts to a room damage deposit at the time of first registration. Damage deposits are left on account until the student leaves the housing system permanently. Damage deposits are refundable when a student checks out of the residence hall or leaves the University and appropriate damage charges, if any, have been assessed.

Returning students who have been refunded their damage deposit are required to resubmit a damage deposit of $200. Room reservation deposits are non-refundable unless written notification of cancellation of room reservation is received by the Housing office prior to the deadline dates.

Withdrawals from the University

Students completely withdrawing from the University must obtain a Complete Withdrawal form from the Registrar's Office. Tuition adjustments are calculated in Student Accounts. Final adjustments are based on the effective date of the withdrawal and exclude non-refundable fees. Room and board are pro-rated throughout the semester. Laboratory and course fees are not refunded after the first full week of classes. Financial aid funds are refunded in accordance with federal, state, and University regulations.

The withdrawal refund schedule and refund schedule for dropped classes are available at http://www.gonzaga.edu/studentaccounts and in the Student Financial Services Office.

Miscellaneous

The University reserves the right to change any costs and/or provisions without notice. It further reserves the right to withhold student information, including diplomas, until a student’s account has been paid in full. No student will be allowed to register for an ensuing semester if a balance is owed for a prior semester. A finance charge of 12% per annum pro rata (365 days) or a rebilling fee of 1% of the total amount due or $2.00, whichever is greater, will be added to a student’s account on any amount more than 30 days past due. A “No Payment/No Arrangement Fee” of 3% of the amount due will be charged to a student not meeting the established payment deadlines.
