Billing Information

Students registered for 12 to 18 credits in the Fall and Spring terms are regarded as full-time students, and are assessed the current undergraduate "flat" tuition rate.  Students registered for 11.5 or fewer credits are considered part-time, and are billed on a per-credit basis.  Students registered for more than 18 credits will be charged for each additional credit that exceeds their full-time "flat" tuition rate. During the Summer term, all students are billed on a per-credit basis. 



Statements/Payments

Statements reflect all activity on your student account, including charges, payments, and financial aid credited to your account. Pending financial aid, although awarded to you, cannot be credited to your account until you have fully satisfied the requirements of the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid.

Statements are mailed monthly and are always due on the 17th of the following month.  If the 17th falls on the weekend or an official University holiday, you will not be penalized if your payment is received on the next working day.  If you are paying by mail, we will consider your payment received the date it is postmarked.  Payments made in person are applied to your account the day you present them.

Once a due date is assigned for payment of your charges on the Statement, that date is effective until the charge is paid.  If you fail to pay your statement by the due date, late payment fees will be charged to your account and a financial hold may also be placed on your account.

You may mail your payment, pay in person in the Office of Student Accounts (130 Millstein Library, 1150 Mt. Pleasant Rd., Greensburg PA 15601) or use the University's web based student billing and payment option at:  http://student-info.pitt.edu   Payment may be made by check, money order, cash, Visa, Mastercard or Discover.  Please make all checks payable to the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg.  Please include the remittance stub with your payment and include your student ID number on your check or money order.


Optional Payment Plan

You are eligible to participate in the Optional Payment Plan if:

  • You do not have an active financial hold and the
  • "Total Amount Due" on your statement is $300 or more.
The first statements for the fall term will be mailed in mid-July to all students who are registered for the term on or before the day the statements are printed.

If you are eligible, you may elect to participate in the Optional Payment Plan by paying the "Payment Plan Due" amount that will be printed on your statement.

  • The "Payment Plan Due" amount includes a $40 service fee once per term if you are financing $1,000 or more,
  • Or a $20 fee once per term if you are financing less than $1,000.
  • The number of installments is determined by the month you receive your first statement for a new term. That number is assigned for your plan, and is used in calculating your "Payment Plan Due" amount. See the chart below for the number of installments.
If, at any time during the plan you pay less than the "Payment Plan Due" amount or your payment is RECEIVED after the due date YOU WILL:
  • Become ineligible to make optional payments during the remainder of the term,
  • Be assessed a $50 late fee,
  • Be denied future services,
  • And be required to pay your entire account balance in the following month.
Due Dates falling on weekends or University holidays will automatically be extended to the next working day.

Unpaid accounts may be referred to a Collection Agency, and/or you may be subject to legal action. In either case, you will be responsible for any and all additional expenses incurred, including attorney fees.

Refunds

Amounts received that are more than your charges will be refunded to you automatically, unless restrictions require that excess amounts be returned to the source.  Federal regulations prohibit the University from applying Title IV funds (Stafford, Pell, Perkins, SEOG) to an account until 10 days prior to the first day of class for the period for which the funds are issued.  We cannot issue a refund related to Stafford or other guaranteed student loans until the loan funds have been applied to your account.  A refund checkwill be generated and sent to you at your main address. All refund checks are mailed and cannot be picked up at the Student Accounts Office.
