Important Notes

Study Abroad fees billed through Illinois State University are not eligible for a payment plan.

All eligible students are automatically enrolled in a payment plan when the charges come on to the account before the first installment. To opt out of the payment plan, please pay your balance in full before the third installment date.

There is a one-time payment plan convenience fee associated with utilizing the plan. The fee is $35 for Fall and Spring semesters and $30 for the Summer semester. This fee will not be displayed in the amount due until it is placed on the account after the third installment date.

Payment plans are only available for current semester charges. All charges must be paid by the final installment date to avoid a registration block.

The payment amounts are subject to change according to any billing changes on the account such as added/dropped classes, Financial Aid adjustments, health service charges, etc. If you see your billing amount has changed, please view your current activity to look for adjustments.
