1. Enrollment: Enrollment in 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: Heartland ECSI/Benedictine College, PO Box 1278, Wexford, PA 15090. The application fee of $50 must be included with your first payment 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.
3. Plan Amount: The total plan amount is payable in four equal monthly installments. First payment for fall term is August 1; first payment for spring term is January 1. Subsequent payments are due on the 15th of each month. You will receive monthly statements from ECSI 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 terminated. 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 enrollment fee is non-refundable. Enrollment fee must be included with your application and first payment. Payments made using payment methods other than pay by check to ECSI or ACH withdrawals may incur additional fees assessed by ECSI. Details are available by calling ECSI Customer Care at 1-866-927-1438. Delinquent payments are subject to monthly late fees of $30. A return payment fee of $30 will be charged for any check or automatic withdrawal returned by your bank for any reason. The return of more than one payment on the 4-month plan may 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. Late payment fees of $30 will be assessed to the account as well. 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 will 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 will be placed with an outside collection agency and may incur collection costs up to 50% of the outstanding principal and interest, in addition to the tuition balance due.
7. Participant Termination: The participant may terminate the Payment Plan Agreement at any time by calling BC Business Office (1-913-360-7403). At termination, ECSI will disburse any payments in the account to Benedictine College. Any remaining balance due to Benedictine College will be immediately due to the College.
8. Changes in the Payment Plan 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 (1-913-360-7407). 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 by August 1 for fall term and January 1 for spring term will place the student�s current term registration in jeopardy.
10. Records Hold Policy: Students whose student account is not paid in full or in good standing on a Tuition Payment Plan will 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.

To activate: Payments or fee(s) charged by Benedictine College may be deducted from a checking account through an automated clearinghouse (ACH) debit.
