***IMPORTANT NOTICE***
REGARDING ON-LINE PAYMENTS
Effective July 2, 2009 Shippensburg University will no longer accept credit cards directly (in person, through the mail or over the phone) for payment of tuition accounts. Students who wish to continue to pay with credit cards will have the ability to do so electronically through our contracted 3rd party processor, Official Payments Corporation.
Those students who have not yet paid their summer bills by the end of June and wish to pay by credit card may visit our website in July and pay online through ShipPay via the Student Information System to be connected to Official Payments. There will be a charge of 2.5% for the use of a credit card, and payment can be made with MasterCard, Discover or American Express. Electronic check will also be an option at no charge.
Paying online remains the fastest, most efficient way to pay your bill. Save paper and the cost of a postage stamp by paying online with electronic check at no additional cost!
Additional information regarding on line payments may be viewed at Student Accounts.
Credit Card & E-Check:
To pay via credit card, you can pay online at time of registration or go online to the Student Information System and pay online before your course begins.

Financial Aid:
If you are receiving financial aid, you must contact the Office of Extended Studies so that your aid can be verified and so that you can sign a promissory note. You will be removed from the course if your aid has not been verified or if you have not signed a promissory note by the payment deadline.
Alternative Loans:
Alternative loans are also available. You can contact the Financial Aid office (Old Main 101, 717-477-1131) for more information or visit one of these alternative lending companies:

Scholarships / Waivers:
If you have a Board of Governor's Scholarship, employee/dependent tuition waiver, or a graduate assistantship, you must include payment for the required educational service and/or technology fees with your invoice by the above deadlines along with documentation on the source for tuition.
Employer:
If your employer is paying, they must send a letter, on official letterhead (to the address listed above), giving Shippensburg University permission to bill them including the amount they will cover. You are responsible to pay any amount not covered by your employer. If the authorization letter from your employer is not completed by the remittance deadline, please return the invoice including the name and address of your employer. You will not be scheduled for a course unless we have payment or know that the employer is paying.
Withdrawing from a Course:
Should you withdraw from any class, it is your responsibility to do so officially, whether or not you have ever attended that class. If you do not attend and do not withdraw, your name will remain on the class roll until the final grading period, you will receive a grade of F for the course, and you will be charged for the course.
