You will receive a Student Account Statement in the mail prior to the start of each term and electronically on a monthly basis to your MyLIU email account that displays your balance due. It is your responsibility to make satisfactory payment arrangements by the payment due date. Only term information is mailed to you; your entire transaction history can be found online using your MyLIU account.

Prior Balance Due
This section displays any balance due from prior terms. If you do not have a past due balance, this section will not appear on your bill. You can refer to your MyLIU account for detailed account activity.

Term Account Summary

Long Island University offers convenient options to pay your account balance due. We offer many different payment methods, including check, all credit and debit cards, ACH, money order, and wire transfer.

MyLIU
You can use your MyLIU account to securely pay your balance online at my.liu.edu using a check, credit or debit card, or international wire transfer through Western Union by clicking on the Make a Payment link from your Student Center homepage or from within the Account Inquiry section. To log into the Payment Gateway, enter your MyLIU user name and password. From here, you may also set up an authorized user account so that a relative, guardian, or employer can pay any outstanding balance on your behalf.

If paying with a check or money order by mail, please date the payment appropriately and make it payable to Long Island University. Any payment not honored by the bank is subject to a $25 returned item fee and may restrict your future payment options to certified check, money order, or credit card. You may also receive an additional charge from your financial institution. The University is not responsible for fees assessed by your bank.

Third-Party Payments
The University will temporarily clear student account balances if presented with written authorization from a third party or sponsoring company that intends to make payment on your behalf. Students must submit official written authorization and complete a Deferred Payment Plan Agreement Form, along with payment for any remaining balance due. Additional information on third party payments can be found in the Policies section.

The University offers students and families the ability to pay your tuition bill in installments using our new online payment plan system. These plans can help families budget the cost of tuition and fees by spreading out the cost over a number of payments each term. Enrolling in a payment plan is easy - simply log into the LIU Payment Gateway, pick a plan that meets your needs, and enroll. You can pay online using a credit card or e-check, knowing your information is secured by industry-leading security features. The payment plan system will automatically notify you if your installments increase or decrease due to changes in your student account.

The University offers the following payment plans each semester:

Students are liable for all charges incurred at the time of registration or room assignment. Your MyLIU account makes it easier than ever to manage your financial obligations. To view your current account balance, simply log into your MyLIU account online at my.liu.edu and click on the Account Inquiry link in the Finances section of your Student Center homepage.

Students must make acceptable payment arrangements or officially withdraw prior to the payment due date to remain in good financial standing and avoid late fees. Acceptable payment arrangements  include:

• Payment in full;
• Approved financial aid covering all charges;
• Signed and approved University payment plan (not in arrears); and/or
• Participation in an approved third-party payment agreement.

A student who complies with any of the above shall be considered in good financial standing, so long as all terms and conditions are met throughout the term. All payment arrangements must be completely satisfied in full or the following fees and/or penalties may be applied.

A late registration fee of $200 will be incurred for all continuing students who fail to initially register by August 15 for the Fall term and January 1 for the Spring term.

If your account becomes seriously past due and no arrangements are made, the University will initially send you for pre-collection services for 90 days before referring it to an external collection agency or law firm, where additional fees and penalties of 25-40% may be charged to your account in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

If you register for courses and decide not to attend, you must officially withdraw your registration prior to the end of the first week of classes to avoid liability. You can withdraw online using your MyLIU account through the first week of the term. After the first week of classes, you must complete an Application for Withdrawal Form and receive official approval from the Office of the Registrar on your campus. Non-attendance and/or non-payment do not constitute official withdrawal from the University.
