Student Account (viewing live balance)

You can view account transactions at any time without waiting for the invoice. Please note that the live account will not show financial aid until it disburses into your account.

FALCONlink>Transact eBill>Activity Details

Electronic Billing (eBill)

Each semester, you will receive an email notification when invoices are available to view. The invoice is a snapshot of your account taken on the billing date. Invoices show anticipated financial aid subtracted from the balance due. Bi-weekly eBill notifications will be sent until the account shows a zero balance.

FALCONlink>Transact eBill. On the left side, click Statements, to access a list of invoices sorted by most recent to oldest. Click View to open and see detail.

Invoices include itemized charges for the entire semester. However, when registered for early and late term courses, the balance can be broken down into two payments. Charges must be paid in full prior to the start of each class. Students will not be permitted to register for subsequent courses, and transcripts will not be released until all financial obligations have been fulfilled.

Initial semester eBill notifications are typically emailed to students the following months:

Fall semester - July
Spring semester - early December
Summer semester – May

Financial Responsibility Agreement

Each semester, all undergraduate and graduate students will be required to complete a “Financial Responsibility Agreement” before registering for courses. By signing the Agreement, each student is acknowledging they are fully responsible for paying their educational cost while enrolled at Messiah each semester. When registration opens each semester, there will be an FRA hold automatically applied to a student’s record. Students can easily remove their “FRA hold” themselves by signing their Financial Responsibility Agreement through Falcon Link.

Forms of Payment Accepted

Other Payment Options

Loans:

Two federal loans are available to graduate students. Private loans are also available. More information can be found . Loans will be scheduled to disburse 3 days after the first class in a semester begins (as long as all requirements have been completed). The anticipated loan will count as an on-time payment.

Deferred Payment Plan:

Graduate students who are eligible for employer reimbursement can defer payment of their reimbursed charges until after the end of the semester. The Deferred Tuition Payment Agreement must be completed by the student and employer. This is an agreement between the student and Messiah University. Federal regulations require students to notify the university of any reimbursement they will receive. These funds are considered when calculating financial aid eligibility for federal loans. The Deferred Tuition Payment Agreement can be found on --> Deferred Tuition Payment Agreement.
