Payments can be made by:

Students with a balance who are not adhering to the above due date schedule will have a hold placed on their student account. A hold restricts registration and release of transcripts. The business office reserves the right to disenroll students if the outstanding balance is in arrears.

Monthly statements are not printed/mailed. If you require a printed statement for a scholarship or aid application, please contact the business office.

There are six (6) sections in the student account, and we recommend you focus on the account summary by term. This report will show charges and payments for current and past terms going back to January 1, 2010. You should also check the View Holds Report. This report will indicate if there is a specific hold on your account and identifies individuals to contact.

Banner Self Service is for your use only, and the business office personnel will not be able to see these reports. You can print these reports and bring them to our office if you have any questions.

Tuition and fees, minus known financial aid, is due the first week of the term. If unable to comply, students should contact the business office to discuss options. Payment/installment plans will not automatically be set up without approval from the business office. Payment of student charges must meet due dates to avoid a hold placed on their student account which restricts registration and release of transcripts.

Students with a balance of $100 or less may enroll for the upcoming session. The business office reserves the right to restrict registration or disenroll students for a particular term if the outstanding obligation is sufficiently in arrears. Records of final course grades, official transcripts, degrees or certificates will not be released until all financial obligations are paid in full. No college officer or advisor can relieve students of financial responsibility.

Refunds are processed as quickly as possible and in accordance with all federal regulations. It can take up to two weeks for a refund to be issued for a valid credit balance. The Business Office processes refunds, but it is the BJC Accounts Payable Department that issues refunds to students. Students can set up direct deposit of refunds by submitting an ACH Setup Form to the Business Office along with a voided check.

Please note: The business office determines the amount of each refund, but the actual payment of refunds is handled by BJC’s Accounts Payable Department.

If you would like to allow college staff to release your billing, financial aid and registration information to another party (parents, spouse, etc.), please complete the FERPA form. Without a completed form on file, we cannot discuss your account with another party even if they are financially responsible for your account.

At Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing, our Cost of Attendance (COA) is built on a 12-month (3-term) academic year as our students attend classes year-round.
