Student Costs and Payment Options

The University’s cost of providing a Gonzaga education is not borne solely by student tuition and fees. The annual Jesuit community gift, endowment income, and gifts of many types from individuals, firms, and foundations constitute some of the other revenue sources essential for a balanced budget.

However, revenue from student charges constitutes most of Gonzaga’s income. Student charges (less verified financial aid) are payable in full in U.S. dollars on a per semester basis, no later than three weeks prior to the beginning of the term. Knowing that payment in full presents a burden for many parents and students, Gonzaga offers installment plans each semester which spread payments over four months.

4-Month Installment Payment Plan (per semester)

Gonzaga University has partnered with Transact Payments to provide a completely automated, paperless 4-month semester payment plan during the fall and spring semesters. For summer semester payment options, visit: https://www.gonzaga.edu/summerSFS

  • Real-time account balance access for student and authorized payers through Transact Payments.
  • 4 equal monthly installments based on the total semester cost, minus verified financial aid (excluding work-study and pending outside scholarships). 
  • Optional automatic payments can be scheduled after enrollment. 
  • Enrollment is per semester, with a $50 non-refundable enrollment fee each term.

If there are stipulations associated with the payment agreement, such as a minimum grade point average, then the student must either pay Gonzaga University directly or enroll in one of the payment options.

Final adjustments are based on the effective dates of withdrawals and exclude non-refundable fees. Room and Board costs are prorated throughout the semester, but lab fees are non-refundable after the first full week of classes. Financial aid refunds follow federal, state, and University regulations.
