Business office and student billing

Welcome to the Benedictine College Student billing office! We are responsible for billing students, overseeing payment plans, repaying or overpaying student loans, and collecting Perkins loans once a student graduates or leaves school. Student Billing works closely with students and families to manage student financial obligations and college tax management in a responsible and respectful manner.

• For autumn terms – August 1
• For spring terms – January 2
• For summer terms – May 20 (due to the short time frame,payment plans are not available)

The university accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover through the online payment system, TouchNet.
