Payment Plans
Saint Leo University offers a convenient way to automatically withdraw payments from your banking or credit card account over the course of each semester or term. The Saint Leo University Payment Plan option allows students to divide the amount due from the billing statement into multiple installments.
Payment plans may be set up by logging into your Student Self Service Portal or through ACI Payments. Students must go through a one-time user account set up process with ACI Payments, Inc, our payment plan partner. After doing so, the student may set up payment plans for each term.

Payment Policy
Students that agree to and participate in educational services provided by Saint Leo University incur a financial obligation to the University. Financial obligations may include but are not limited to tuition, fees, housing, meal plans, and any other additional costs. Payments are due prior to the start of a semester/term unless specifically deferred by tuition assistance, tuition remission, or authorized payment options. Students should be financially prepared to meet University expenses at the start of the term.
It is the responsibility of the student to apply for and utilize eligible financial aid to assist with covering the charges of educational services received. Financial aid includes but is not limited to, federal financial aid, state financial aid or loan funding. Additional funding that will appear as a credit on the student account statement includes but is not limited to employer tuition assistance, federal tuition assistance or veteran’s administration benefits. It is the responsibility of the student to review account charges, understanding that once all financial aid and/or additional funding is applied, it is the responsibility of the student to pay any charges still outstanding and any new charges by the due date.
Past Due Accounts
If financial obligations are not met by the due date, past due student account balances will receive a financial balance hold 15 days past the balance due date. A financial hold will prevent future registrations as well as other services being offered in accordance with University policy. A late fee of 1% (12% annually) will be added to any past due balance each month. Delinquent student account balances may be reported to a credit bureau and referred to collection agencies or litigated. If referred to collection agencies, collection agency fees up to 33% may be added to unpaid charges. A student may also be removed from future classes if their delinquent status is not resolved timely.
Service Fee for Payments made by Debit and Credit Cards
Due to the increasing cost of processing credit and debit card transactions, Saint Leo can no longer absorb the cost of service fees on these forms of payment. Saint Leo University will continue to accept debit and credit card payments. However, the University is unable to cover the cost of transaction fees. As of April 1, 2021 a non-refundable service fee of 2.75% will be applied to payments made by debit or credit cards.
For example, a $100.00 payment made by debit or credit card to the University will result in a total charge of $102.75, with the additional $2.75 going directly to the credit card processor.
Saint Leo University does not receive any proceeds from the application of this fee.
The following payment methods are still available and do not have an associated service fee:
- eCheck payments made online or over the phone
