Student Accounts

For students enrolled in Master’s and Undergraduate programs, tuition is calculated and billed on a per-credit basis. For students enrolled in doctoral programs, dependent upon the program, tuition is billed per-credit or by a flat rate per term. Tuition rates vary by campus and academic program, and full information can be found at [[Link: Tuition & Fee Info]]. Tuition rates are subject to annual review, and may increase or decrease as a result. Students will be notified of any changes to tuition rates via institutional email.

Fees are billed at the University, Campus, or Program level. University Fees may include Enrollment Deposits, Library Fines, and Diploma Reprinting Fees. Campus Fees may include Student Service Fees, Technology Fees, and Parking Fees. University and Campus fees are listed at [[Link: Tuition & Fee Info]]. 

Program Fees are usually course-specific, and may include Course Materials Fees, Liability Insurance Fees, Software Registration Fees, and Assessment Fees. Course-specific fees are listed in the course catalog and can be viewed during registration.

When students register for classes, their billing is automatically updated and reflected on the MyAntioch student interface. To view and pay a bill online, please visit MyAntioch and select "Student Finance". [[Alternate: Link to page in Self-Service?]] Students can also view and print their term statement from the MyAntioch interface, which provides information on billing, payments, and refunds in a PDF format.

Please Note: Students will not receive a bill via email or paper mail. It is a student's responsibility to check their bill after registration. Any questions regarding billing or payments can be directed to the Student Accounts Office at [email protected].

Payment for tuition and fees is due on the first class day of each term. A grace period is in place during the term's Add/Drop window (usually the first two weeks of the term). After this grace period, late payments may be subject to Late Payment Fees, and may result in a [[Link: Registration Hold]].  For students with third-party sponsorships requiring enrollment verification, this grace period may be extended at the discretion of the Student Accounts Office. 

In addition to financial aid, options for payment include: 

• Third-Party Payment: Examples of Third Party Payments include employer sponsorships, payments from family members, private scholarships and grants, Americorps awards, and any funds paid directly to Antioch University on behalf of a student. For more information, 
• Online Payment: Visit the MyAntioch "Student Finance" section and select "Make a Payment." Payment is accepted online via Electronic Check or Credit/Debit Card.
• Personal Check: Checks can be mailed to the campus of enrollment (mailing addresses are listed on our [[Contact Page]]). Checks can also be dropped off in person on each campus. Please make checks out to Antioch University.
• Alternate Account Check: Antioch University accepts payment from accounts such as My529 and similar College Savings Plans. Please contact your account servicer to initiate payment to Antioch University and [[contact the Student Accounts Office]] with any questions.

A Financial Aid Refund occurs when a student receives more funding from financial aid (such as scholarships and loans) during a term than they are billed for that term's tuition and fees. In most circumstances, these excess funds can be used by the student to pay for educational and personal expenses. Students may return all or part of any Financial Aid Refund to their student loan servicer by contacting the Financial Aid and Student Accounts Office within 30 days of receipt of refund.

Please Note: Any refund produced from Student Loans will be included in the eventual repayment amount for those loans. Funds from un-cashed checks will not be returned to lenders unless the student requests this return in writing, and may eventually be released to the Office of Unclaimed Funds if the check remains outstanding.

When a student initially pays their tuition, then drops a class, a refund may be produced. Similarly, if a student has paid tuition, and their account is subsequently adjusted to reduce billing, a refund may be produced. Refunds will be returned if possible in the same form of payment originally used: card payments will be refunded to the credit or debit card used for payment, and check payments will be refunded via paper check or Direct Deposit.

Student Account Refunds are calculated and paid at the end of each business week. Students who have set up Direct Deposit will receive funds on Fridays. Students who have not signed up for Direct Deposit will receive a paper check by mail, usually within 5-10 business days after check printing. To track the status of an anticipated refund, or for any related concerns, students are welcome to reach out to the Student Accounts Office.

Antioch University offers Direct Deposit as a fast and reliable way to receive refunds. Because of the speed and security of Direct Deposit, it is Antioch's preferred method to transmit funds to students. To set up Direct Deposit, take the following steps:
