Payment Options

There are many payment options: online, by mail, or by phone. Your account must be paid in full or have an acceptable payment plan in place by the due date for that semester. If the payment due date for the semester has passed, payment is due upon registration.

Upcoming Payment Due Dates

  • Fall Balance Due – August 13, 2024
  • Spring Balance Due – December 13, 2024
  • Summer Balance Due – April 23, 2025

Please see the options below to cover your student account balance. Student accounts must be paid in full or have an acceptable payment plan in place by the due date for that semester.  If the payment due date for the semester has passed, payment is due upon registration. Students with unpaid accounts may be dropped from class(es). If payment or a payment plan is not in place by the due date, the account will be assessed a late fee ($250 for day students; $100 for all other populations).

Using Financial Aid or a Third-Party

To use financial aid or a third-party payer as an acceptable payment plan, the student must have completed all requirements and submitted the required paperwork and electronic signatures by the payment due date.  If your Employer offers Tuition Reimbursement, please complete the form here and return it before the Payment Due Date of the term.

How to Sign up for Payment Plans – Parent or Authorized Users

Students must grant parents or other payers access by setting them up as an Authorized User following the steps below. Authorized users may view student account activity, make payments, and set up payment plans.

  • Log into your Rivier University Touchnet Site.
  • Click the Authorized Users link in the My Account menu.
  • Click Add Authorized User near the bottom of the window.
    • Enter the email address of your authorized user.
    • An automated email including a link, username and temporary password will be sent. Your authorized user will use this information to log in and set up his/her profile.
  • After set-up, all authorized users making tuition payments on your behalf will access the system directly through the dedicated Authorized User access:    Rivier University Touchnet Site.

 **Please be aware that parents or authorized users will not have access to invoices or payment options until they are added to your account. Authorized users will not be able to view any other student information from this access.

Separate Authorized Users

If a student has two parents who would each like to pay separately on a plan, it is suggested that the student sign up for the plan initially and then give access to each parent as an authorized user. Each parent will pay his or her agreed upon portion of the plan each month.
