Student Financial Responsibility

Students enrolled at Gonzaga University are responsible for payment of all University‑related expenses not covered by financial aid awarded by the University. Students using financial aid or any other form of tuition assistance are responsible for ensuring that all required documentation is submitted by published deadlines and that aid eligibility requirements are met.

Financial responsibility includes meeting payment deadlines, completing required loan or grant obligations, and resolving any outstanding balances. Students remain responsible for their account balances even if payment is expected from a third party.

Failure to officially drop or withdraw from classes does not relieve a student of financial responsibility for tuition and fees.

Students who withdraw from the University are required to make arrangements to satisfy all outstanding financial obligations, which may include tuition and fees, room and meal plan charges, health‑service‑related fees, and parking fines.

An unpaid or past‑due student account balance may result in a financial hold being placed on the account. Students with a past‑due balance may be unable to adjust their current registration, register for future semesters, or receive a diploma or certificate. All financial obligations must be resolved prior to graduation in order for a diploma to be awarded.

Students are encouraged to review their student account regularly and to pay any outstanding balance promptly to avoid additional consequences, which may include registration cancellation, late fees, interest, and debt collection activity. Questions regarding account balances should be directed to the Student Accounts Office.
