Senior Citizen Discount
Any person age 60 or over who is not applying for financial aid is eligible for an 80 percent Senior Citizen Discount at the University of Sioux Falls. This policy applies to all college credit courses, including all full-time day, part-time day, evening, Summer School, Center for Women and Interim courses up to a maximum of six hours. It does not apply to the following: classes taken for “audit,” Center for Women non-credit courses, Center for Management non-credit courses, APriL (Assessment of Prior Learning), workshops, Degree Completion Program and graduate courses.
Terms of Payment
Tuition, fees, room and board are payable prior to the first day of class or upon receipt of the Student Data Billing sheet. No student is officially enrolled until all financial arrangements have been completed and prior charges have been paid. The University of Sioux Falls accepts Discover, Visa or MasterCard payments by calling the Student Accounts Office at 605-331-6640 or paying online at the student's My.USF account. Overdue accounts are subject to a 12 percent annual interest charge (1% per month).
Accounts that have not been settled or addressed with a payment plan prior to October 1st for the fall semester or March 1st for the spring semester will incur a $50 late fee.
The academic year at the University of Sioux Falls is divided into three parts: Fall semester, Interim term, and Spring semester. The Interim term is an integral part of the academic year. Payment of tuition for Fall or Spring semester entitles a full-time (excluding DCP) student to an Interim course (up to 4 credit hours) without additional cost. Students who contract for board or room in a residence hall during the Fall or Spring semester will not be charged extra for the Interim. Since no charges are assessed, no refunds will be granted if students choose not to attend school during Interim.
An Installment Payment Plan is available to spread costs over each semester. Payments must be kept current to re-enroll. Application must be made through the USF Website at www.usiouxfalls.edu .
Transcripts of credits earned and the granting of degrees are contingent upon the full payment of money due to the University.
