WHAT ARE THE ST. OLAF PAYMENT OPTIONS?

St. Olaf allows you to choose from a variety of payment options to pay your bill. Some families use these payment plans to pay the entire comprehensive fee, while others use them to pay whatever balance remains after financial aid (grants, scholarships, student and parent loans, and student work) has been disbursed. The cost and benefit of each plan is described below.

There are four different payment options from which to choose at St. Olaf. No matter what payment option you choose, please notify St. Olaf of your payment option by completing the Payment Option Selection Form online on the Student Accounts webpage. There is also a Monthly and Quarterly Payment Options Worksheet available to assist you in determining your family's payments.

After St. Olaf receives your initial deposit of $600, you may sign up for a payment plan.

Monthly Payment Plan
This plan is offered through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). Enrollees pay ten equal payments of the balance due (after financial aid). Monthly payments begin June 15 and must be completed by March 15. For those who join the monthly plan after June, multiple payments to catch up will be required. Monthly statements will be sent upon receipt of your $80 enrollment fee to TMS.
