The University issues billing statements electronically with notifications e-mailed to your Ferris provided e-mail account. If you register for classes within one month of the semester start date, you may not receive an electronic notification to your Ferris student e-mail address. You can view your bill, your real-time balance, and make a payment at any time online through E-bill on MyFSU.
1. Pay Tuition in Full
Pay 100% of your tuition bill by the first due date, and no additional fees or service
charges are applied to your account.
2. Deferred Payment Plan ($30 fee)
Pay 50% of your balance due on the 1st tuition due date. The next 25% is due 30 days
later, and the final 25% is due 30 days later.
Note: There is a 2% late fee added to any past due balances. Your classes may be dropped
for non-payment. If your classes are dropped, there is a $100 late fee to re-register.
3. Employer Tuition Reimbursement (ETR) ($35 fee)
Does your employer offer tuition reimbursement? Our ETR program allows you to defer
any portion of tuition your employer pays towards your education. You have 30 days
after the end of the semester to pay your tuition balance. More information here.
4. Third Party Billing
With appropriate authorization, third parties, such as employers, can be billed directly.
Amounts billed to third parties (including approved financial aid) are immediately
deducted from student accounts. If your employer will pay the institution directly
(regardless of your final grades), our preferred method is through Third Party Billing.
Contact the Business Operations for more information: (231) 591-3972 or (800) 4-FERRIS and ask for the Business Operations.
You should pay your tuition electronically via E-Bill. This process is more efficient and allows for information to remain confidential. It also is the only way to pay by credit card. Go online through MyFSU to make your payment with Discover, American Express, MasterCard, or e-check.
A 2.75% convenience fee will be charged on all credit card transactions made on consolidated student accounts.
You can avoid paying the 2.75% convenience fee by paying online with an e-check, an electronic debit to your checking or savings account.
You may also mail a check to the Timme Center for Student Services with no convenience fee to the address below. Checks should be made payable to Ferris State University. Always include your student ID number on the check. Mail to: Ferris State University, Business Operations CSS 101PA, 1201 S. State Street, Big Rapids, MI 49307.
You must contact your regional office for any class drops or withdrawals immediately following your decision to drop or withdraw from a course. After the first four days of the semester or the first meeting of class, refunds are only made in some cases of total withdrawal from the University. A reduction in course load (a class withdrawal), after the first four days of the semester or the first meeting of class, is not a basis for a refund. More information here.
Each semester, a student receiving financial aid this semester MUST complete and submit a Consortium Form to the appropriate office to confirm financial aid status. Consortium forms can be found here.
Classes may be dropped for students who have not paid or who have insufficient financial aid to cover the minimum payment (50%) by 5 p.m. ten days before the semester is set to begin.
Classes may be dropped without penalty for by the end of the fourth day of classes following the start of a semester. To drop a class from your schedule, log on to MyFSU, click Academics & Services, Registration, Add and Drop Classes.
