Payment Options
There are many ways students and families can choose to pay tuition. Here at SFS, our counselors can help you navigate and choose which payment options and methods are best for you.
Payment Occurrences
Students can choose whether they would like to make payments towards their student account balances by the semester due date or set up a Monthly Payment Plan:
- Semester payments of the entire balance are due for the fall semester by mid-August, for the spring semester by the beginning of January, and for the summer semester by the course start date.
- Monthly payment plan options for undergraduate students can be selected through Transact. Students will need to give access to parents or authorized users who will be accessing Transact.
