Estimating Your Bill

Listed below are common semester charges and fees. Please refer to the catalog to determine if additional charges might apply to you. To estimate your total balance due, subtract your semester’s awarded financial aid from your total semester charges. When estimating your balance, please remember that for Stafford loans, the bank may withhold 2% of the gross amount of the loan for the origination fee. If you are using Trinity As Lender, no origination fee will be withheld. The amount listed on your award letter is the gross amount of the loan. Also, federal work study money is paid to the student; it will never be directly applied to the student account. To accurately estimate your balance, please take this into consideration.

Paying Your Bill

All students are expected to pay their bill in full or make their first payment by the first day of the semester. Students must be paid in full or be current on a traditional payment plan in order to register for the next semester.

At New Student Orientation Check-In, students who have not already received them in the mail will receive a login and password to TIU Access, the web registration site. New students are able to complete their billing information and registration immediately through TIU Access. Appointment times for registration will be given at the time of check in for those who desire specific help in the process.

Once you are registered, your Course & Fee Statement (your bill) is available at TIU Access (left side menu option). With this in hand, click on the link here to get instruction on finalizing your payment arrangements. Failure to finalize your payment arrangements will result in a $200 non-refundable fine if not completed by the second week after the first day of the semester. To avoid the fine you must be paid in full or be enrolled in a payment plan. If you intend for financial aid or scholarships to cover your balance you must complete all requirements prior to the deadlines.

Trinity Alternative Payment Plan (TAPP)

New Students may pay the total semester costs in three equal monthly payments. The first payment on the three month plan is due on or before the first day of the semester. Please refer below for the specific due dates for the payment plans.

If you choose, Student Accounting can automatically charge your credit card at the appropriate time each month. This option is available on the payment plan form.

Payment Plan Terms and Conditions

TAPP participants are charged a fee of $50 to enroll in the payment plan; this charge is figured into the payment agreement. Payments are due on the 15th of each month. A $40.00 Late Fine is charged for any payments received more than 5 days late. Loans or other financial aid received to the student’s account must be applied directly to the outstanding balance. If these funds cover the balance in full, the payment plan will no longer be in effect. Any subsequent adjustments to the student's account such as tuition and/or financial aid increase or decrease or fines are the responsibility of the TAPP participant. These changes will be reflected on the monthly bills sent from the Student Accounting Office; please pay according to your bill. All bills are sent on the 1st of each month. Any delinquent accounts will be charged a 1% deferment fee per month after the last payment date. In addition, any student with a balance that is not paid in full will not be able to register for the next semester. Please contact (847) 317-8080 with any questions.

3 Months (first day of the semester, 10/15, 11/15)
