Student Costs and Payment Options

A Gonzaga education is made possible through a combination of tuition, fees, and other important sources of support. 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, student tuition and fees still represent the largest share of Gonzaga’s operating budget. 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. To help make costs more manageable, Gonzaga offers semester‑based installment plans, providing greater flexibility and peace of mind as you plan for the term ahead.

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

The student must provide the Student Accounts Office with a purchase order or written statement of intent to pay by the third party no later than the semester's billing deadline. 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.

Confirmation Deposit

In order to reserve a place in the student body, each first-time student is required to pay a $ 500.00 confirmation deposit. This will apply as a credit toward first semester tuition expenses. Confirmation deposits are non-refundable unless written notification of cancellation of enrollment is received by the Admission Office prior to its deadline dates.

Room Reservation Deposit

Students are expected to make housing reservations with the Housing office prior to May 1st for fall semester and prior to December 1st for spring semester. All new students must complete and sign a Residential Living Application/Agreement. Reservations for new students must be accompanied by a $200 advance room deposit fee which is non-refundable after June 1st for fall semester and January 1st for spring semester. The room reservation deposit will apply as a credit toward first semester tuition expenses.

Room reservation deposits are non-refundable unless written notification of cancellation of room reservation is received by the Housing Office prior to the deadline dates.

Tuition Adjustments for Dropped or Withdrawn Courses

Students completely withdrawing from the University must obtain a Complete Withdrawal form from the Office of the Registrar. Tuition adjustments are handled by Student Accounts and based on the effective withdrawal date, excluding non-refundable fees.

Financial aid refunds follow federal, state, and University regulations.

The tuition adjustment schedule for dropped or withdrawn classes is available at Tuition Adjustment Schedules | Gonzaga University and in the Student Financial Services Office.

A finance charge of 12% per annum pro rata (365 days) or a rebilling fee of 1% of the total amount due or $2.00, whichever is greater, will be added to a student’s account on any amount more than 30 days past due.
