These fees are the responsibility of the student and should not reduce payment to the University. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Services for account information. You must provide all required information to complete the transfer. Incomplete information can lead to the delay of your payment being processed and posted to your student account. Include your name and student ID number, and contact the Office of Student Financial Services to inform us when your wire transfer is transmitted to insure proper crediting of your student account.

Authorized Deferred Payment Plan
You must pay your bill by the posted semester deadline or have established an authorized deferred payment prior to the posted deadline. Felician University has partnered with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to provide a deferred, interest-free, monthly payment plan that can be used to pay all or part of your outstanding balance. The payment plan can be used to supplement your financial aid. Please be aware of the terms of the monthly payment plan:
- Only students in traditional undergraduate or graduate programs are allowed to participate. Students enrolled in non-traditional programs are not eligible to participate.
- TMS offers 5-month Fall Only and 5-month Spring Only plans that require a $55 non-refundable enrollment fee. First payments for the Fall Only plans are due by July 1. First payments for the Spring Only plan are due by December 1. Late enrollment past these dates may require students to make larger first payments to make up for missed monthly installments.
- Students are required to provide an accurate balance due to TMS at the time of enrollment. TMS will not provide you with a budget amount. Improper budgeting can lead to a balance due to the University and a hold flag being placed on the student account, preventing future registration and transcript/diploma release.
- Past due balances may not be included as part of the payment plan. These balances must be paid in full to the University prior to enrolling in a plan.
- Students are required to re-enroll in TMS each year/semester. Enrolling in a payment plan does not mean you are enrolled for the following academic year. It is important that you check your new balance due for the new academic year at the time of enrollment to insure proper payment.
- A late fee of $45 will be assessed for each late payment made. If two consecutive payments are missed and your account is not made current with your next payment, your payment plan will be canceled by TMS. Payment in full is required directly to Felician University at the time of cancelation. Cancelation from the payment plan will render the student ineligible to use TMS in the future.
- Payments made to TMS on the first of the month will not be reflected on the Felician University student account until approximately the 28th of the month.
- You are encouraged to periodically check your Felician balance and compare it to your budgeted payment plan amount. Any adjustments to the plan can be requested directly with TMS, which will then require approval from the University.
- Questions can be directed to TMS at 1.800.722.4867 or to the Office of Student Financial Services at 201.559.6045. Brochures are available at the Office of Student Financial Services upon request.
Employer Sponsored Tuition Assistance Programs
If your employer is providing payment for your tuition/fees then you must present written documentation on company letterhead to the Office of Student Financial Services before the posted semester payment deadlines. This documentation must contain the student’s name, the semester of payment, and terms of the agreement. If there are tuition/fees that are not covered by the agreement, you must pay these charges in full by posted semester deadlines. Felician will not honor agreements that delay payment, stipulate grades must be received before payment is made, or payments made directly to the student. Payments must be made directly to Felician in a timely manner.
Student Refund Policy
Students are entitled to a refund of excess financial aid. Financial aid refunds will be issued after the Office of Student Financial Services has confirmed the student’s aid eligibility, enrollment in class, and the aid has been credited to the student account.
Credit balances created with Title IV funds will be refunded to the student no later than 14 days after the balance occurred on the student account, unless a student has completed a Title IV authorization to hold the funds on account for the remainder of the academic year. If the University determines that Parent Plus Loan funds created the credit balance, the University will pay the credit balance directly to the parent borrower unless a Title IV Authorization Form has been signed by the parent authorizing reimbursement to the student.
All checks will be mailed to the address on file with the University, unless authorization from the Office of Student Financial Services has been granted for in-person pick up. Checks held at the Office of Student Accounts will be available for pick up no longer than two weeks. Checks not picked up within two weeks of the date the check was issued will be mailed to the address on file with the University.
Credit balances that are created by Title IV funds and are refunded via check must be cashed within 210 days. Uncashed refund checks after the 210 day window will be voided and the resulting credit balance will be returned to the source of the credit.
New Jersey Unclaimed Property
The New Jersey Unclaimed Property Statue requires the University to remit any unclaimed accounts receivable credit balances or uncashed student refund checks for New Jersey resident to the Department of the Treasury within three years. This remittance is due no later than November 1 of each year. Residents from states other than New Jersey are subject to the unclaimed property legislation of the state in which they reside.
The University will provide written notice via certified mail to students with unclaimed property prior to remitting these funds to the state of New Jersey. This notice, sent two to three months prior to November, will give the student the opportunity to request payment of these funds.
Financial Aid
All students are required to pay their outstanding balance due and/or have evidence of authorized financial aid.
The University reserves the right to change any of the above policies when, in the judgment of the administration, it becomes necessary to do so.
Tax Information
1098-T Tax Forms
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 requires that all educational institutions provide U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a tax form detailing qualifying tuition and related expenses for the calendar year. This form is referred to as Form 1098-T. Educational institutions are not required to provide forms to non-resident aliens. As a result, you may not receive a form if you are a non-resident alien.
Form 1098-T will be available in the Financial Information section on Felician Hub no later than January 31 of each year. You must access and print Form 1098-T through Web Advisor as it is not sent via mail. Please keep important information such as address and social security number up-to-date with the Registrar’s Office, as this information is submitted to the IRS and insures proper mailing of the form..
Below are descriptions of certain information contained in Form 1098-T that will assist you in better understanding the form:
Box 2 – Total amount billed for qualified tuition and related expenses less any reductions in charges. This amount includes tuition, comprehensive fees, and course fees. Non-qualifying expenses are medical insurance fees, fines and miscellaneous charges, and room/board charges.
Box 5 – Total amount of any scholarships or grants that were administered and processed during the calendar year for the payment of the student’s costs of attendance.
Box 7 – Amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses, reported on the current year’s form, but are related to an academic period that begins in January through March of the following year.
Box 8 – If checked, the student was at least a half-time student during any academic period. A half-time student is a student enrolled for at least half the full-time academic workload for the course of study the student is pursuing.
Box 9 – If checked, the student was a graduate student. The student is a graduate student if the student was enrolled in a program or programs leading to a graduate-level degree, graduate-level certificate, or other recognized graduate-level educational credential.
For additional information and instructions on Form 1098-T, please see IRS Publication 970 or visit IRS.gov.
Form 1042-S
Form 1042-S reports calendar-year income earned by non-resident aliens. For U.S. tax purposes, all University non-tuition scholarships that are subject to withholding will be reported, even if no amount is deducted or withheld due to an income tax treaty at the time of filing.
Those students who are subject to a withholding (residents of a non-treaty country), will be assessed a non-resident alien tax each semester. The amount assessed is based on the current tax rate (14%) of the scholarship award for that semester.
Federal guidelines require the University to file Form 1042-S to the recipient no later than March 15 of each year. Active students will be sent Form 1042-S to the current local address on file with the University, while former students will receive the form at the most current foreign address on file.
Payment Policies
If you do not pay your account balance or do not arrange for an authorized deferred payment plan by the due date, a hold flag is placed on your account. This hold prevents registration, check-in to the University’s residence halls, and receipt of an official transcript and/or diploma. If you are partially registered or are planning a registration change, payment for the existing registration must still be made by the posted deadlines. Any additional registration made after the deadline must be paid for on the date of the adjustment.
If you do not pay your account balance or do not arrange for an authorized deferred payment plan by the due date, you will be subject to a $200 late fee and/or deregistration and removal from housing. If you are deregistered, roster spots in the previous registration cannot be guaranteed. Registrations submitted after the posted deadline must be paid in full at the time of registration. Failure to make payment in full may result in a late fee or deregistration.
Tuition and fee rates, payment policies, tuition refund policies, payment due dates and tuition hold policies are determined by the Office of Student Financial Services and may differ depending on the individual traditional or non-traditional program. Information obtained from any other area of the University regarding these issues is not binding. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Services for policy information and tuition and fee rates for your specific program.
If you are unable to, or choose not to attend Felician you must officially withdraw from your course(s). Follow the posted withdrawal refund deadlines. Withdrawals after the Drop/Add period (last day for 100% refund) will result in the student being liable for all or part of their charges. Please see the Registration Policies and Procedures portion of the Undergraduate/Graduate Catalogs for procedures on withdrawals.
Room and board must be paid along with tuition and fees by the posted payment deadlines in order for students to be eligible to check-in to the University’s residence halls. Board may not be waived for any student. If you choose to withdraw from housing, you must contact the Office of Residence Life and fill out the necessary forms for withdrawal to be valid. Room and board refunds are calculated according to the date the withdrawal form is received by the Residence Life, not by the last date of residency. Refund percentages are calculated using the same formula/dates as tuition and fees. If you withdraw from housing or are terminated and have used your meal card, you will be held responsible for any meal monies used.
If you have a delinquent account balance, you will be notified by the Office of Student Financial Services Collection Department. Payment must be made immediately upon receipt of this notification. You will first have the opportunity to make payment directly to the University. If you do not respond to our attempts to collect your balance, your account will be referred to an outside collection agency. Should this occur, credit bureaus will be notified and you will be responsible for the outstanding balance plus all collection fees and legal fees. At this point you will no longer be able to make payment directly to Felician – you will be required to interact directly with the collection agency. All grades, transcripts, and diplomas are withheld until you have satisfied your balance in full and all funds have cleared.
