Payment of Education Costs
For updated payment of costs please go to trine.edu/costs.
Payment of tuition, fees, and room and board is due at the Business Office on the date indicated on the student’s bill. Any financial aid awarded will be deducted from the student’s charges each semester. Each student is responsible for purchasing books using funds from personal and/or financial aid sources. Any student with outstanding financial obligations to the University will not be permitted to register for any subsequent semester, or receive a transcript or diploma until the obligation is fulfilled. Students maintaining a balance owed to the University will be assessed late fees and will be responsible for collection and/or attorney costs if such efforts should become necessary.
*Please see specific program for additional fees.
