Important! The JSU Payment Plan is an adjustable plan based on any new charges or credits applied to the account so that the final installment will include any unpaid semester charges. Thus, the original plan displayed may not be the plan a day later if a class is added or dropped or other charges or credits are applied to the student account.

NOTE: JSU will recalculate all payment plans and send an email notification for payment plan accounts that change by dropping/adding a class. Do keep in mind it is your responsibility to monitor your payment plan. New charges applied are divided and equalized into the remaining Installments.

No. The JSU Payment Plan is not mandatory. You can pay your bill in full prior to the published due date to avoid late fees and to avoid cancellation of your scheduled classes.

You can pay all or part of your installment at any time provided the full amount is paid by the installment due date. Otherwise, your saved payment method will be processed for any remaining balance on the installment due date.

Each payment plan will have scheduled installment due dates that are set by JSU. You will be required to save a payment method when you enroll, and JSU will automatically draft the account you have saved.

NOTE: if you have made your installment payment prior to the due date, JSU will not draft your account for that installment.

The due dates for each term payment plan are displayed on the Payment Plan page.
