Bank Loans

Please review new direct lending information found on the Financial Aid webpage. If you have processed a Master Promisorry Note (MPN) in previous semesters, please be aware you will need to complete a new MPN for the direct lending loans. Please follow the information provided on the Financial Aid webpage.

Private education loans, also known as alternative loans, have new regulations that most students are not aware of. If you plan to use a private/alternative loan to assist you with paying your bill, please be sure to read the information on the Financial Aid webpage located on the Private Education Loans page to ensure your funds disburse on time.

All approved student loans processed by our Financial Aid Office approximately one week prior to invoicing will be reflected on your invoice.

Payment Options for Tuition and Fees:

Mansfield University is pleased to announce changes to our payment options for tuition and fees.

In order to continue to offer the secure convenience of credit card payments as an option, Mansfield University has contracted with Official Payments to process credit card payments online through WebAdvisor.

Before making payment for tuition and fees, please view the payment option information and frequently asked questions by clicking on the "New Payment Options" link which is located on the right side of the main Student Accounts webpage.  Below are highlights of the payment options.

• Credit/debit cards will only be accepted online through WebAdvisor.
• Official Payments will charge a service fee of 2.5% of the payment amount for their service.
• E-check (electronic check) will allow you to make a payment online with no fee.

You may also make payment with a check or money order payable to Mansfield University.  Mail your payment to Mansfield University, Enrollment Services/Student Accounts, 224 South Hall, 71 South Academy Street, Mansfield PA 16933.

Note: Please do not mail cash, debit or credit card information. Cash payments can be made at the Enrollment Services window located at 224 South Hall. 

Deferred Payment Plan:

This plan requires you to pay at least half of the total balance due by the payment due date which is approximately two weeks prior to the beginning of the semester and allows you to pay the remaining balance of the charges by the deferred payment due date which is approximately six weeks from the beginning of the semester. This plan automatically incurs the $50.00 deferred fee. (See Schedule of Payment section on your invoice.)

NOTE: Payment of the TOTAL AMOUNT DUE as indicated on your invoice must be made on or before the due date to avoid this $50.00 charge. If you are anticipating an outside scholarship (scholarship granted to you from an organization other than Mansfield University) to assist in paying your charges, the scholarship payment must be recieved by the payment due date to avoid the $50 deferred fee. 

Financial Aid Awards and Grants:

All projected financial aid awards will be listed on your invoice.

Approved Title IV aid is paid on account approximately four weeks from the first day of the semester.

Aid awarded after the first day will be paid monthly thereafter.

Loan checks will be credited upon endorsement or when funds are electronically received.

A release form must be signed to authorize the University to apply Title IV funds (loans, Pell, Perkins, SEOG) to charges in addition to tuition and fees. Submitting a request in writing to Student Accounts at any time may rescind the release.

Late Payment Charge

A Late Payment charge will be assessed if a student's account balance (net of approved financial aid) is not paid in full at the end of the semester deferred payment period (six weeks from the start of the semester). The amount of the Late Payment charge is proportional to the account balance as described in the following table.

Tuition Management Systems (Payment Plans):

If you would like to pay your education expenses monthly, use the Interest-Free Monthly Payment Option offered by our partner, Tuition Management Systems (TMS). The payment option is available for a small enrollment fee and includes personal account service and counseling, automated account information 24 hours a day and access to your account through their web www.afford.com/mansfield.

***Note - TMS payment plans are not available for the summer or winter sessions. 

Student Responsibilities:

Payment may be made by Cash, Check, Money Order, Debit/Credit Card or Electronic Check (e-check). Please see Payment Options for Tuition and Fees for information about processing fees for debit/credit cards.

Failure to meet your financial obligation by the due dates will result in future registrations being blocked, transcripts and diplomas withheld.

Note: Your registration may be cancelled if your prior balance and 50% of current semester charges are not paid or covered by financial aid! The minimum amount required to confirm your registraiton is your total charges, LESS financial aid, DIVIDED by two, PLUS any beginning balance.

Payment of the minimum amount due, (full prior balance and at least half of total amount due) will allow you to use the Deferred Payment Plan. Please see Deferred Payment Plan for further information.

Failure to make full payment will automatically incur a deferred payment fee of $50.00.

Please Note: If your charges are covered by Financial Aid and you do not return to school, you MUST notify Registrar's Office, immediately at registrar@mansfield.edu.

Third Party Payments / Scholarships

Copies of scholarship award letters and/or approvals of payment by a third party must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office to allow adequate calculation of financial aid eligibilty.

If your account is being paid by an employer or outside agency which requires university billing, please provide documentation to the Financial Aid Office and the Student Accounts Office.

Payment from scholarships, third parties, or an employer must be received by the payment due date to avoid the deferred fee. If you will be reimbursed by an employer after completion of the coursework, you must pay your invoice by the due date to avoid the deferred fee.
