Billing Information

How will I receive my bill?
Seton Hall sends electronic bills or 'e-Bills' only. Each time an e-Bill is generated, an e-mail will be sent to your Seton Hall University e-mail. It is important to log on to PirateNet and view your account each time you receive this notice.

When is my tuition payment due?
The first e-bill for each semester is sent before classes begin:

Fall Semester Payment Due: August 2
Winter Semester Payment Due: December 15
Spring Semester Payment Due: December 22
Summer Semester Payment Due: May 27

Thereafter, e-bills are only sent if you have a balance due or an adjustment was made to your account. If you register after the first e-bill is sent, you will receive one the next month. If you make any changes to your registration, you should always log onto PirateNet to check your account. Please note, an e-bill will not be generated if you are not registered for classes.

When will I receive my new and/or updated e-bill?
New e-bills are sent monthly to all registered students before the term begins. After the due date, e-bills are only sent to student with a balance due. Your e-bill statement is a snapshot of your account and will not change once you have received it. Your current account details are real-time and can be viewed at any time. We send a paid-in-full statement to all students with a $0 balance at the end of each semester.

How do I view my e-bill and account activity?

Log in to PirateNet and click on the "SHU Portal" or "New Student Orientation"
Click on the "Profile and Finances" tab
Under "Bursar Account," click "View and Pay My Account." Then click "View and Pay My Bill."
Click the link to your latest e-bill under "Statements."
"My Account:" View your eStatements, current activity, payment history, and consents and agreements.
"Make Payment:" Pay current amount due or change your payment amount.

Should I wait for an updated bill before I submit my payment?
No. Students are responsible for ensuring their accounts are fully paid by the due date and throughout the semester. Non-receipt of a bill is not grounds for non-payment or late payment of your account. Payment for changes in tuition, room and board, technology or computing fees, as well as any fines or fees incurred during the semester, is due immediately. Student accounts are available online 24/7 through PirateNet.

If your bill does not reflect expected financial aid, this typically means there are outstanding requirements you or your parent(s) may need to complete. Questions regarding your financial aid should be directed to financialaid@shu.edu.

If your bill does not reflect your correct meal plan and room charges, please contact residencelife@shu.edu.

We recommend students monitor their real-time account details in PirateNet and remit timely payments. If you have a question regarding a specific charge, please send us an e-mail bursar@shu.edu with your full name, Seton Hall University ID number, and your specific concern.

Third Party Payments

What if I have tuition reimbursement from my company?
If you receive tuition reimbursement directly from your employer, you are still required to pay your tuition bill in the same manner as all other students. Reimbursement agreements are solely between the student and their employer. Payments cannot be postponed until students receive their reimbursements from their employers.

I receive funding that requires an invoice or voucher to be submitted by Seton Hall University. When will my letter of credit, payment voucher, or invoice be sent to my third party payer?
If tuition is being paid for by a third party or sponsoring company, please review the instructions on the Third-Party Payments page. Using the Third Party Payment eForm, students need to provide official documentation from the third party, a letter of credit, voucher, or similar document, requesting or authorizing the payment. It is the student's responsibility to provide this documentation every semester via the Third Party Payment eForm.

How can I request my paid in full statement?
At the end of each semester we send students a "Paid In Full" eStatement for their records. You will receive an email from Bursar@shu.edu with the subject line "0.00 Statement – No Payment Required. "To access this statement log into the Seton Hall University Portal to access your Student Account. (My Profile or Profile and Finances Tab, click View and Pay My Bill). Under My Account click Statements. Use the drop down menu to select your statement which you can view, print, or save as PDF.

If the statement is not available you can send a request to Bursar@shu.edu.

Where should I send my 529, other college investment account, or outside scholarship payment?
Checks from these types of accounts or organizations should be sent directly to the Bursar’s Office:

Seton Hall University Bursar's Office
Bayley Hall Room 121
400 South Orange Avenue
South Orange, NJ 07079

Be sure the third party includes the students Full Name and Seton Hall Student ID number on the check. All check payments should be made payable to Seton Hall University. We do not accept endorsed checks made out to the student(s).

Health Insurance Waiver

How do I waive my Health Insurance?
If you do not require Seton Hall University’s insurance plan, you must submit a health insurance waiver each academic year. Log into Pirate Net and click the Profile and Finances tab. Then click Submit Health Insurance Waiver. For more information, cost and due date, please visit the Health Services website.

Refunds

How do I submit a refund authorization request?
The refund authorization request form is found online and only needs to be completed once. We will save your preference for any future refunds. You may update your preference at any time.

Log In to PirateNet and Click the 'Profile and Finances' tab.
Under Bursar Account – Click 'Refund Authorization Request' (If prompted with a Security Warning, click YES).
Select one option from each selection criteria.
Click 'Submit Refund Authorization Request.'

Late Fees

How are late fees applied?

Current Students: Late fees are applied twice per semester. Each late fee is posted in the amount of 7.5% of the past due balance, up to $125.00 per application. The maximum per semester is $250.
Nonregistered Students: Late fees are applied once per additional late semester until you are paid in full. Each late fee is posted in the amount of 15% of the past due balance, up to $250.00 per semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer).
Late fees continue to accrue each semester until the account is paid in full. Repeated late payments will result in a "Pre-Pay" account status which requires payment in full prior to registration.

How do I appeal my late fee?
Students may appeal late fees only after the past-due balance has been paid in full. To appeal a late fee, students must send an e-mail to the Bursar’s Office (bursar@shu.edu) explaining the reasoning for the late payment. Students who have not had any prior late fees may be eligible to have their most recent late fee waived as a One-Time Courtesy.

Why hasn’t my Seton Hall University Tuition Remission benefit been applied yet?
The tuition remission award is often posted to the financial aid packages late in the term, sometimes after the bill due date. Regardless of the timing of posting, the student is still responsible for paying all non-tuition charges by the bill due date. This includes but is not limited to: University fee, Technology fee, Mobile Computing fee, room and board, lab and other course fees, parking, new student fee, etc. Late fees, registration holds, transcript holds, and pre-pay holds are all applicable to unpaid fees.

For further questions regarding Tuition Remission or if you do not see it reflected on your bill, please visit the Human Resources websites for more information.
