1. Enrollment: Enrollment in one of our interest-free Tuition Payment Plans is accomplished by completing the on-line application or by completing, signing and returning a printed copy of the Tuition Payment Plan application directly to: ECSI/Benedictine College, 181 Montour Run Road, Coraopolis, PA 15108-9408. The application fee of $50, $85 or $100 must be included with your first payment and application in order to activate your payment plan. Enrollment can be made any time during the stated enrollment period.
2. Allowable Educational Expenses: You may finance estimated tuition, room, board, and other fees for the entire academic year (9- and 10-monthh plans) or for either the fall or spring term (4-month plan).
3. Budget Amount: The total Budget amount is payable in equal monthly installments due by the 10th of each month. Your payments will begin and end on the dates outlined in the payment plan you choose. You will receive monthly statements at the end of each month.
4. Disbursement of Funds: ECSI will disburse the payments in the participant's account to Benedictine College as required by the school until such a time as all funds are disbursed in full or the account is closed for any reason. The obligation of ECSI to make disbursements to the school shall at all times be limited to the amount in the participant's account.
5. Fees and Other Charges: The Tuition Payment Plan application fee is non-refundable. Payment for this fee must be included with your application. A return fee of $30 will be charged for any check or automatic withdrawal returned by your bank for any reason. Return of more than two checks or ACH withdrawals on 9- and 10-month payment plans or the return of more than one check or withdrawal on the 4-month plans will result in termination of the payment plan. All fees assessed will be deducted directly from your payment before being applied toward your Tuition Payment Plan balance. Remaining balances due on the payment plan will be immediately payable, in full, to Benedictine College.
6. Failure to Pay: A reminder notification will be sent if you are 15 days late in paying any monthly payment. Failure to make the required payments within 30 days of the due date may result in termination of the plan. In the event your account is closed for any reason, you will be required to pay the entire unpaid balance at the termination date directly to Benedictine College. If this should happen, the student's current term registration and further attendance is placed in jeopardy and a financial hold may be placed against the student’s records. If the student withdraws or exits Benedictine College owing a balance on a Tuition Payment Plan, your account may immediately be placed with an outside collection agency. By signing this application you agree to pay all collection costs that maybe incurred.
7. Participant termination: The participant may terminate the Payment Plan Agreement at any time by calling The BC Business Office (913-360-7407). At termination, ECSI will pay the balance in the account to Benedictine College. The Agreement will terminate, in any event, upon plan termination due to delinquency or at the final payment to the school.
8. Changes in the Annual Budget Amount: Any changes or adjustments to the amount due Benedictine College during the contract period may be transferred to your Tuition Payment Plan by calling The BC Business Office (913-360-7407). These adjustments may increase or decrease your Payment Plan balance due. (Examples may include, but are not limited to, adjustments to Tuition, Room, Board, Financial Aid Award adjustments, miscellaneous charges or fines.) If your balance increases, the BC Business Office representative will disclose your new monthly payment at the time you authorize the change in your plan. If the balance decreases or you make payments that cause a credit balance, the overpayment will be transferred to Benedictine College. The College will process a refund to you in accordance with the institutional refund policy.
9. Registration Confirmation: You must either have paid your student account balance due to the College in full or have confirmation of an approved Tuition Payment Plan in order to complete the registration process, attend classes, or live in college housing. Failure to pay in full or enroll in an approved Tuition Payment Plan may place the student’s current term registration in jeopardy.
10. Transcripts and Diploma Hold Policy: Students whose student account is not paid in full or in good standing on a Tuition Payment Plan may have a financial hold placed against their records, registration and graduation.
11. Automatic Payment Option: If you wish to enroll in the automatic payment option, please refer to the Automatic Payment instructions for set up.
