Marquette University offers a payment plan administered by Sallie Mae TuitionPay. TuitionPay allows students and their families to pay tuition, fees, university housing and/or meal charges in 5 equal monthly installments. There is a $35 semester enrollment fee, but there are no interest charges involved.
You may enroll via the web or by phone (877-881-1015). We encourage you to enroll no later than January 1, 2009 for the spring 2009 plan. You may sign up after that date, but you will be required to make up any payments that have passed. The registration cutoff dates are as follows:
- September 15, 2008 for the Fall semester 5-month plan
- February 15, 2009 for the Spring semester 5-month plan
Determining Your Plan Amount
It is important to include all necessary information to determine your plan amount. Please use our contract calculator for assistance in determining your plan amount.
To use the MMPP Calculator select "Open" when the dialogue box appears and enter the appropriate information into the spreadsheet. We recommend saving the MMPP Calculator for reference. This is done by selecting "Save" when the dialogue box appears, saving the file to your computer, making the appropriate changes and saving the file once you have completed your adjustments.
Ready to Apply?
Visit the Sallie Mae website to enroll in a TuitionPay Account.
Please Note: You will continue to receive monthly statements from our office even if you are on the payment plan. You may use them to monitor any changes in the student's account balance and to monitor our receipt of your TuitionPay payments. Additional charges on a student's account will not result in an automatic contract adjustment. These charges are due to the school by the billing due date.
Frequently Asked Questions
about the
Marquette Monthly Payment Plan/Sallie Mae TuitionPay program:
I made my payment to TuitionPay on the first of the month, why isn't it reflected on my statement and/or bursar account?
Your payment is due to TuitionPay by the fifth of each month. The payment will be sent to Marquette University around the 20th of that month. For example, a payment made to TuitionPay on August 5th will be sent to Marquette on or around August 20th.
It is after August 5th, but I would really like to utilize TuitionPay. Am I still able to enroll?
Yes, you may still enroll. You will owe the $35 semester enrollment fee, plus any payments that have passed.
I think I budgeted correctly, but how do I know for sure?
Please feel free to contact a bursar account representative at any time during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm) with your budgeting questions.
In addition, a TuitionPay representative and a Bursar representative will be available at the Freshmen Preview Service Fair to assist incoming freshmen with their contracts.
I think my original budget is too high because I have received additional financial aid. Can I adjust my payments?
Yes, you may certainly adjust your payments. Please contact TuitionPay directly (877-881-1015) to request that your contract be reduced. TuitionPay will then verify with a Marquette administrator that your new budget is correct. Provided the adjustment has been approved by Marquette, your contract will be adjusted and the new amount will be reflected in next month's TuitionPay bill. (For example, if you have already received the September bill, you still owe the amount due on that bill. Your contract will then be adjusted for the remaining 3 months.)
What methods of payment are available?
The following payment options are available with TuitionPay:
- Echeck: One-time electronic payment
- ACH: Automatic monthly withdrawal
- Check: Mail payment directly to Bank of America
Why was my contract terminated?
Should you fail to make two monthly payments in a row, TuitionPay terminates your contract.
Can I reactivate my terminated contract?
Yes, you may reactivate your terminated contract. You will, however, be charged a reactivation fee ($25).
I have not yet received my financial aid package. How do I prepare a budget?
You will need to budget without your financial aid. When you do receive notification of your aid package, you may decrease your contract to reflect the amount of your aid.
Where can I find the room and board rates?
Room and board rates can be found on the Marquette Bursar website here. You may also contact the Office of Residence Life at (414) 288-7208 for residence hall and meal plan rates. The University Apartments and Off-Campus Student Services office will be able to help you determine the apartment (Campus Town, Humphrey) rates. Their office can be contacted at (414) 288-7281.
Is there a way to set up a payment plan while I am in your office?
Students and parents cannot sign up for the MMPP in our office. You can sign up online or request a paper application that can be picked up in our office or mailed.
