Student Costs and Payment Options

The University’s cost of providing a Gonzaga education is not borne solely by student tuition and fees. The annual Jesuit community gift, endowment income, and gifts of many types from individuals, firms, and foundations constitute some of the other revenue sources essential for a balanced budget.

However, revenue from student charges constitutes most of Gonzaga’s income. Student charges (less verified financial aid) are payable in full in U.S. dollars on a per semester basis, no later than three weeks prior to the beginning of the term. Knowing that payment in full presents a burden for many parents and students, Gonzaga offers installment plans each semester which spread payments over four months.

4-Month Installment Payment Plan (per semester)

Gonzaga University has partnered with Transact Payments to provide a completely automated and paperless 4-month semester payment plan during the fall and spring semesters. For the optional summer semester, please visit: Summer Payment Arrangements. 

Installment Payment Plan features:

  • Interest free
  • Real-time account balance information through Transact Payments for students and their authorized payers.
  • The total semester cost, less verified financial aid (excluding work study and pending outside scholarships) can be set up in 4 equal monthly installments.
  • Schedule optional automatic payments once you are enrolled (optional) in the semester payment plan.
  • Payment plan enrollment is by semester and includes a $50 non-refundable enrollment fee each term
