Paying Your Bill
Payments for tuition and other charges and fees at Saint Louis University can be made online, by mail and in person. To make payments and view your account activity online, navigate to Payment Suite by logging into your mySLU portal and selecting Payment Suite from your apps. If you have been established as an authorized user by your student, you will sign into the Bill Pay Portal.
Monthly billing statements will be released electronically through the Payment Suite application. Students and authorized users will receive an email when the billing statement is available for review. Students and authorized users are also able to generate on-demand statements at any time.
Payment Due Dates:
Payment Arrangements need to be made prior to the semester census date each semester. Payment arrangements can include: Paying the balance in full, enrolling in a semester payment plan, or securing a loan or other financial aid that will cover the balance in full. Failure to pay in full OR enroll in the payment plan by the enrollment deadline will result in a registration hold preventing future registration or schedule changes, and finance charges will be assessed.
- Summer semester: Payment arrangements required by June 1
- Fall semester: Payment arrangements required by fall census (September 2, 2025)
- Spring semester: Payment arrangements required by spring census (January 26, 2026)
Monthly Payment Plans
Saint Louis University offers two semester payment plans. Payment due dates for the monthly plans are always due on the first of each month. When the first falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are due on the first business day following the weekend or holiday.
- Semester Enrollment Fee: If you choose this option, you will make monthly payments that are interest free, but you will be assessed an enrollment fee of $75 each semester.
- Interest Charge: If you choose this option, you will be assessed a 1 percent finance charge each month on any remaining balance.
Typically, students with an outstanding balance of $5,000 or more benefit from choosing the payment plan with the enrollment fee. Students with smaller outstanding balances are more likely to benefit from choosing the payment plan with the 1 percent finance charge.

Finance charges will not be assessed until after the official census/due date (referenced at the top of the page) for each fall and spring semester.
