We hope that you are having a great summer so far and we are looking forward to welcoming your Bobcat to campus in August. Our staff are working hard on roommate matches and room assignments currently and we are eagerly anticipating announcing them officially in a few weeks. The Housing Portal is now closed while we complete this work, but it will re-open on Thursday, August 1. Your student can log in at their convenience beginning that day to view their hall assignment, room assignment and the name and contact information for their roommate(s). Your student can also make changes to their meal plan beginning that day if they wish to do so. The Platinum Plan is the default, but there are options for smaller or larger plans.

What’s new from Spiritual and Religious Life

Shalom dear parents,

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable summer. It is a good thing there is still much time to be together.

Once school begins, the doors at The Hereld House for Jewish Life will open and the candles for shabbat and Yontif will glow. Please know that all activities begin at 5 p.m. for Friday shabbat experiences, holiday meals and special services.

If I can be of ANY help, reach out – my email is reena.judd@quinnipiac.edu.

I hope the remainder of summer is enjoyable.

I hope by the time classes begin, the world will be more peaceful.

With much Shalom,
Rabbi Reena Judd

Summer and Fall 2024 tuition and fees due dates announced

For full details, including payment plan installment dates, please visit the Payment Options page of our website.

Payment Plans

Payment plans are only offered in the fall and the spring. When students or proxies sign up for a payment plan by the payment due date, installments are spread over five months.

We offer two types of payment plans:

• Auto Adjust – this plan covers the student’s full balance due and will automatically adjust if the amount owed changes. Therefore, if financial aid is applied the balance due on the payment plan will automatically adjust. This adjustment can lead to an increase or decrease of the monthly payment plan. The remaining balance due will be split among the remaining payments.

• Fixed Balance – this plan allows the student to determine the amount to pay via the payment plan. To make any adjustments to the amount after the first payment is due, the student needs to contact the One Stop office.

Refunds

At the conclusion of the add/drop registration period, students may owe a balance or be due a refund. It can take up to two weeks after add/drop for refunds to be processed. The fastest way to get a refund is to sign up for direct deposit.

Financial Consent & Tuition Insurance

In Self-Service students and proxies will be asked to consent to the statement of financial responsibility which includes QU’s withdrawal and refund policy. When students or proxies view the invoice through Self-Service and continue to Make a Payment the consent form will be presented.

Consider Tuition Insurance

Students will also be offered the opportunity to purchase tuition insurance.

Proxies

Students may authorize a proxy (parent, guardian, spouse or other individual) to have access to Self-Service to make payments on behalf of the student or to view grades. In addition, authorizing a proxy also allows the appropriate Quinnipiac faculty and staff to discuss relevant matters with the proxy.  Learn more about Proxy Access.

Please reference the following for assistance as needed:

• Self-Service Student Finance Guide provides complete instructions on using Self-Service to set up a proxy, view and pay invoices and set up a payment plan.

• Managing Student Finances pages show cost of attendance and financial aid options.

• The One Stop webpage provides answers to many questions and the frequently asked questions page is a particularly helpful resource.

• Email onestop@qu.edu for questions about billing and payment.

• Email finaid@qu.edu for questions about financial aid.
