A 4- or 5-month payment option is offered to cover semester charges. Nelnet charges a $36 enrollment fee, but Earlham’s monthly 1% service charge is waived. Monthly payments can automatically be withdrawn from your bank account at no additional cost. Sign up through the Student Account Center.

Pay one-half the amount due before the semester begins and pay the remaining balance in three equal installments, due monthly during the semester. A 1% service charge on the outstanding balance will be added to the account each month-end. To sign up for this plan, email [email protected].

 

Installment Due date
First installment (Half of the amount due) August 9
Second installment (1/3 of the remaining balance) September 11
Third installment (1/3 of the remaining balance) October 11
Fourth installment (1/3 of the remaining balance) November 11

Additional charges such as health service fees, library or traffic fines, or other charges may be added to a student’s account during the semester. Accounts with an outstanding balance will be charged a 1% service fee at the end of every month. If a payment is returned by a bank due to insufficient funds, Earlham will charge a fee.

Diplomas for graduating seniors will be held until all financial obligations have been met.
