Business Office/Tuition

The Business Office at Alverno College is responsible for sending out semester statements for tuition, fees, on-campus housing and meal plans, processing all payments to student accounts and crediting student accounts with any financial aid disbursements. Students, faculty and staff also may cash a personal check in the Business Office in accordance with college policies.

Payment Policies

  • Full payment for all tuition, fees, room and board, and all other charges are due prior to the beginning of each term (fall, spring and summer) whether or not a statement/bill has been received. If a student has not received a statement/bill, they may contact the Business Office at (414)-382-6122 to determine the amount due.
  • Acceptable methods of payment are cash, checks and credit cards (MasterCard, Visa and Discover).
  • All students must complete a Financial Obligation and Payment Form and/or a Deferred Payment Plan and Promissory Note.
  • For registration and enrollment changes after the tuition due date, payment is due immediately. Although bills are sent to the student on a regular basis, please contact the Business Office for information regarding current charges.
  • A student who has not finished their financial obligation with Alverno College is not considered fully registered and may lose privileges associated with registration. In addition, the students will also be subject to some or all of the following: assessed a delinquency fee and/or interest penalties, prohibited from receiving transcripts and/or diplomas, prohibited from future registration, and placement of account with a collection agency with responsibility for all collection and legal fees.

Students who have a prior outstanding balance may contact the Financial Aid Office for a list of alternative loans that may be used to pay for prior educational balances. The availability of these loans is not guaranteed.
