Payment of Tuition

Payment is due on or before the date of registration each semester and must be by personal check, certified check, cashier's check, money order, traveler's check, cash, or by MasterCard, Visa, Discover, or American Express credit cards.

All accounts are payable in full before a student can be registered for the semester. Special permission is required from the chief financial officer and the Provost for late registration after the first day of the period designated as late registration. Students whose term bills remain unpaid by the fourth week of the semester are normally prohibited from attending classes after that time. In summary, a student’s whose accounts are not paid in full at the due date will be regarded as delinquent. Such student will be denied the privileges of registration, attending classes, obtaining academic transcripts, using the University’s facilities or being certified for graduation. In addition, they may not be cleared to join the fraternity or sorority of their choice.

Students may be dropped from the University at any time for nonpayment of fees.

Remittances may be mailed to:

Fisk University

1000 Seventeenth Avenue North

Student Accounts - Business Office

Nashville, TN 37208-3051

Mailed remittances not received by the Business Office at least three business days before registration may arrive too late to be processed for registration. Payment in person may be made through registration day. Advance payment will reduce the time spent in the registration process and ensure that the student will complete financial registration on time.

Financial aid is credited to the student's account only upon authorization from the Office of Student Financial Aid.

Anticipated state awards federally insured guaranteed loan proceeds, and other outside assistance will be credited to the student's account when the funds are received in the Office of Student Financial Aid or the Business Office.

Grades transcripts and diplomas are withheld from students having outstanding balances with the University, and, at the discretion of the University, seniors with unpaid bills by the end of the school year may not be allowed to participate in graduation exercises.

Students are not permitted to register with the University until all accounts due for previous terms have been paid.
