Financial Information

Financial arrangements for payment plans can be made through the Financial Office. Most students are required to pay a $50.00 application fee.  The remaining balance will be payable in low, interest-free monthly payments based on the number of hours and degree level for your program.


All students are required to set up automatic draft payments for their monthly payments.

 

Note that textbooks and graduation fees are not included in the tuition costs. A prepay discount of 10% is given to those who remit their tuition in full at the time of enrollment. Any accounts over 30 days delinquent are subject to a 10% fee.

 

After completing all academic and other requirements for your degree, including a thesis or dissertation, a degree candidate must have fully paid all tuition, fees and all other charges due to LBU before participating in the commencement exercises, receiving a diploma, or receiving a transcript from the institution.
