Linfield College Payment Procedure
Linfield College Student Accounts Office has established an online procedure for the student and/or parent to pay the billed charges for each semester the student is enrolled. The procedure includes specific date requirements. Each student is to do one of the following each semester by August 6 for Fall Semester and January 20 for Spring Semester:
1. Pay In Full so that the account balance is zero by August 6 for Fall Semester and January 20 for Spring Semester, or,
2. Pay all Cash Due not covered by the Tuition Management Systems (TMS) payment plan and not covered by accepted Financial Aid by August 6 for Fall Semester and January 20 for Spring Semester, AND sign a LESA.
The Accounting Office will mail the Fall Semester Statement of Account (SAR) in July, and for Spring Semester in early January. Typically, the SAR billed charges will include the cost of Tuition, Room, Board, Student Body Fee, and Health Insurance, by the semester. Other costs such as transportation, books and personal expenses remain the responsibility of the student/parent and may not be added to the SAR. Paying each semester's billed charges may be accomplished in various ways, each having specific date and documentation requirements:
- DEFERRED TUITION: The deferred tuition payment plan offered by Linfield is through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). TMS payment plan includes the FULL YEAR cost of Tuition, Room, Board, Student Body Fee, and Health Insurance, (excluding the cost of transportation, books and personal expenses), less FULL YEAR net financial aid (excluding Federal Work-Study). You should also include the cost of January Term. The TMS $55 fee and application should be received by TMS no later than August 1 regardless of the first monthly payment date. There is no interest charge if all payments are made as scheduled with TMS. However, if your TMS payment is late, TMS will assess a $25.00 late fee, and, Linfield will assess a late fee of $25.00 per late payment per month, and a 1% per month Service Charge for the remainder of the Tuition Management Systems (TMS) plan. A plan may be established by calling TMS at 1-800-722-4867 and paying the $55 fee by Credit Card. The Worksheet is required at Linfield by August 6 for Fall Semester and January 20 for Spring Semester.
- CASH PAYMENT: The portion of the semester billed charges not included in the TMS payment plan and not covered by accepted net financial aid is paid directly to Linfield by August 6 for Fall Semester and January 20 for Spring Semester. Please make check or money order payable to Linfield College. Linfield College does NOT accept credit cards as an acceptable method of payment for Tuition, Fees, and Room and Board. However, Linfield has contracted with TMS to administer our credit card payment program. If you choose to pay by MasterCard, Discover or American Express plus the accompanying VARIABLE TELEPROCESSING FEE depending on the amount charged, please call the TMS Tuition Direct number 1-800-722-4867 or online at www.afford.com. Payment by credit card to TMS Tuition Direct must be paid by August 6 for fall semester, December 20 for January term and January 20 for spring semester.
