Section 3: Payment Options

All students are eligible to take advantage of Pace University’s interest-free payment plans. These plans are available for the fall and spring terms in monthly installments, and there is a weekly plan option available for summer terms.

Payment Plan Options

Pace offers interest-free payment plans through the Payment Portal, allowing students or authorized users to pay tuition, fees, and housing in installments—an alternative to lump-sum payments. These are not loans, so no credit checks are required.

Plans are available for fall, spring, and summer. Some plans may include a non-refundable enrollment fee each term. Payment plan re-enrollment is required every semester or academic year, depending on the plan desired.
Plans are online-only. If you enroll after the start date, prior installments must be paid, but there is no late enrollment fee. A $25 late fee applies only if a scheduled installment is missed.

To enroll, prior semester balances must be cleared. Enrollment opens once your bill is available. Satisfy your bill by the semester’s billing due date to avoid penalties by paying your balance in full or enrolling in a payment plan.

After reviewing the options, log into the Payment Portal to choose your plan.

Leave of Absence Impact on Financial Aid

Students on a leave of absence pursuant to the Leave of Absence Policy are considered to be withdrawn from the University for purposes of financial aid. Consequently, loan repayment obligations may be triggered. Students should speak to a representative of the Financial Aid Office for more detailed information about the status of their financial aid during a leave of absence prior to submitting a Leave of Absence Application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible for financial aid?

To qualify for federal financial aid, you must:

Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen
Be enrolled in a degree or certificate program
Not be in default on a federal loan or owe a repayment on a grant
Not have exceeded maximum aggregate loan limits
Meet satisfactory academic progress requirements

What’s the timeline for applying for financial aid?

After you’re admitted to the program, complete your FAFSA. The form opens October 1 each year and covers the entire following academic year (fall, spring, and summer terms). Plan to submit your application at least two months before your first semester to allow time for processing and approval.

Keep in mind that you’ll need to complete the FAFSA each year to remain eligible for federal financial aid.

If you’re exploring private alternative loans, plan to apply at least two months before your semester starts to ensure enough time for lender approval and school certification.
