Pay Tuition and Fees Online

�鶹�ƽ⴫ý students can pay their tuition and fees online through Nelnet Campus Commerce's Enterprise system. This service is available to current students with a valid �鶹�ƽ⴫ý account. Students can access the Nelnet Enterprise system by logging into their RU portal, my.rockhurst.edu, and clicking the "Pay Tuition" icon.  As a general practice, �鶹�ƽ⴫ý does not mail paper bills or statements.

Tuition Payment Options

All enrolled students must sign a Student Financial Responsibility Agreement and a Consent to Conduct Business Electronically Agreement prior to enrolling in classes. Upon enrollment, a student is pre-registered in their classes. Payment of tuition and fees finalizes registration. Failure to make payment will result in cancellation of enrollment and will require re-enrollment through the appropriate Dean’s office and payment in the Student Accounts Office before attending class. Students who do not satisfy their financial obligations before the first day of class may not attend class.

Tuition, fees, housing, and meals (if applicable) are due by the tuition payment deadline, before classes begin, as shown online at the �鶹�ƽ⴫ý website, www.rockhurst.edu. All late payments will be assessed a $150 late payment fee. This fee cannot be waived upon request.

�鶹�ƽ⴫ý requires each student’s account balance to be paid in full each semester. A semester balance should not roll over to the following semester as this hinders the student’s chances for future enrollment, ordering transcripts, and receiving their diploma.

�鶹�ƽ⴫ý offers several convenient options for payment of tuition:

Student Accounts Office: Massman 109

On-site payment options:

• Cash
• Check
• Personal money order

Payment by mail:

Personal checks or money orders can be mailed to our lockbox in St. Louis, MO:

If remitting by mail, please include the Student ID# on the enclosed check.

Please do not mail scholarship checks to the lockbox as these checks must be processed by the Financial Aid office.

For additional help with over-the-phone payments, please call 1-800-609-8056.

Student Accounts Forms

Students who are eligible for outside tuition benefits must self-disclose their eligibility to the Student Accounts office prior to the payment due date to avoid a late payment fee. All forms must be completed within 30 days from the start of the term to be considered.

- If your tuition is being covered by a 529 Tuition savings payment or third party payer, please complete this form providing proof from the company showing that you are eligible for the benefit or that payment is on the way. This form must be completed each semester to receive the benefit.

- If you are eligible for military benefits please complete this form. This form must be completed each school year. Check out our military page!

- Saint Luke’s Health System and �鶹�ƽ⴫ý will consider discounts on programs that fulfill SLHS’s workforce needs, the continuation of workforce development efforts to address workforce needs for the city and region, and short courses of instruction, certificates, and micro-credentials for employees. Click here for more information about the tuition discount percentages.

: If you have a CREDIT balance showing on your billing account or if there is a third party paying for your books, you may request a book voucher for the �鶹�ƽ⴫ý Bookstore.

View Up-To-The-Minute Activity

The Nelnet Enterprise System is linked directly to the University system to display all charges and payments immediately. A summary page is displayed after login that shows the current balance due and any payment plan balances. Click the "Transaction Details" link in the dashboard to view details of the total, payments, and pending aid. The balance due will include all aid accepted regardless of any incomplete aid processes. Please make sure all aid processes are complete to ensure aid will apply to the student account.  Please contact Financial Aid immediately if you feel any aid is not showing on your student account.

Make one-time payments toward the balance owed using EFT from checking/savings or the credit card type of your choice.

Enroll in a Payment Plan:

You can set up a 6-month (starting in July for fall and December for spring) or 5-month (starting in August for fall and January for spring) payment plan through Nelnet to divide the semester account balance into equal payments. Our summer session will only offer a 3-month plan starting in May. Payment plans are set up per semester, NOT per year. If you have a payment plan in the fall and want one for the spring, you must enroll in a new plan. There is a $75 fee incurred when enrolling. Your plan is active when the enrollment fee is paid.

Tuition Protection Plan:

�鶹�ƽ⴫ý proudly partners with GradGuard™ to offer tuition insurance. The Tuition Protection Plan is like an extension of our refund policy. It can reimburse up to 100% of your non-refundable school costs after a midsemester withdrawal for a covered illness, injury, psychological condition, and more — protecting your investment in higher education.

Tuition insurance plans also come with Student Life Assistance, a 24-hour hotline to help students stay safe on and off campus. At �鶹�ƽ⴫ý, we want our families to have peace of mind during their entire time with us.

Nelnet will offer you the tuition protection plan each semester for $106. To get learn more about the Tuition Protection Plan, call 1.866.724.4384 or visit 

Insurance must be purchased prior to the first day of classes. Coverage extends through the end of that semester.

Tuition insurance is completely optional. The agreement you enter into is with GradGuard, not with �鶹�ƽ⴫ý.

Tuition Refund Withdrawal Schedule

Students may add and drop classes any time between their initial registration in the course and the last day of the Add/Drop period (7 calendar days from the first day of the semester). Please click here to view the Tuition Refund Schedule to see how adding or dropping a class will affect your bill. If you are planning on completing a total withdrawal from the university and you have Federal aid, please talk to the Financial Aid department (financialaid@rockhurst.edu) to see how withdrawing will affect your aid (which can in turn affect your bill).
