Method of Payment for Tuition

All payments for classes are to be made to Saint Leo University. While there are a number of payment options, students fall into one of four categories: 1) students who are paying their own tuition, 2) students whose tuition is being paid by a third-party or covered by an outside funding source, 3) students who are paying using financial aid and 4) students who pay part of their tuition themselves and the remainder paid by a third-party, outside funding source or financial aid. Examples of a third-party may be a corporation or the military. Examples of an outside funding source may be a pre-paid program (e.g. Florida Prepaid).

Students who are paying all or a portion of their own tuition may pay by check, credit card, ACH debit or through a payment plan. Students who are paying all or a portion of their tuition through a third-party or outside source must submit the appropriate documentation for the third party or funding source. Following are the instructions for the various payment methods. If you need assistance making a payment, please call your enrollment representative at (888) 875-8265.

Students who are paying their own tuition

Students who are paying their own tuition can pay by check, credit card, ACH Debit or Payment Plan.

Check payments should be paid to the order of Saint Leo University and should include the student’s student ID number. Checks should be sent to:

• Saint Leo University
• PO Box 85001
• Orlando, FL 32885-0167

Credit card and ACH debit payments can be made on e-Lion. Click on “Student Bill/Make a Payment”. Then click on “Make a Payment” and follow instructions to complete the transaction.

Students who wish to pay using a payment plan should contact the financial aid department directly for specific payment information.

Students who tuition is being paid by a third-party or covered by an outside funding source

Students should send their tuition assistance authorization/forms and or third party sponsorships by email, fax or U.S. mail directly to the attention of both Saint Leo University third party billing coordinators for processing. The third party billing coordinators are:

• Saint Leo University-Center for Online Learning
• Third Party Billing and Sponsorships
• Post Office Box 6665 MC-2097

Students who are paying using financial aid

Students with financial aid should check e-Lion to determine the amount of financial aid awarded to them. If you’re financial aid award amount is greater than or equal to your tuition charges for the term then you do not have to arrange payment. If your financial aid for the term is less than the tuition charges for the term then you must make payment arrangements for the remaining balance.

Method of Payment for Textbooks

Textbooks can be purchased through our book vendor, MBS Books. Student can access the MBS website at bookstore.mbsdirect.net/saintleo.htm. Once you access the MBS website, click on "order my books". Then select "credit card" or "students with financial aid". You would be considered eligible for "Students with Financial Aid" if your financial aid award for the term exceeds tuition charges and you receive, via your Saint Leo email, a voucher number from MBS Books (VB@MBSBooks.com) with the Subject of the email being "Use your Student Allocation to order your books online". If you choose "students with financial aid", you must enter your identification number (which is comprised of your first name initial, last name initial and the last four digits of you social security number, e.g. Walter Winberry might be WW9523) and student allocation number (the number sent to you in the email from MBS Books). Click "continue". Next select a term and check the Center for Online Learning. Select the books you need to complete the transaction.

Of course, students are free to purchase their books from any source. Just make sure that you purchase the correct edition.
