You can also make a payment anywhere you can connect to the internet by using an e-check or credit/debit card.

To make an online payment, follow these steps:

You must be paid in full of prior past due balance(s) to have eligibility for the Saint Joseph's Payment Plan. If you have a past due balance on your account, you will be ineligible to utilize the Payment Plan until the past due balance(s) have been paid in full. Saint Joseph's Payment Plan cannot be used to pay for a past due balance. If you have a past due balance on your account and need assistance, please contact Student Financial Services.

Saint Joseph's University will review the payment and account history of each student requesting a Payment Plan. We reserve the right to reject a Payment Plan request if the student has prior history of non/delinquent payment.

Saint Joseph's University offers a tuition payment plan for you to pay your tuition bill. The tuition payment plan is an interest-free option to spread your tuition bill payment over several months. The plan will allow you to break down your tuition bill into easy-to-manage installments. Although the payment plan is interest free, there is a $40 non-refundable, set-up fee.

To review and set up the payment plan, please log in to your Self-Service account, click on the Student Finance tab and select “Make a Payment”.
