Also, Federal Work Study will not move from the awarded to applied column at any time, and therefore should not be subtracted from the overall amount owed.

Thank you for inquiring about our payment policies. To view a full explanation of our policy please visit this page. Also, please feel free to send us any follow up questions that you have have about our policies.

Each semester, students are expected to make payment in full or enroll in a payment plan by the first day of the semester. Failure to finalize payment arrangements will result in a $250 fine assessed to registered students following the second week of the semester. Unpaid balances will also incur a 1% deferment fee on the last working day of each month. New students will receive access to the Dashboard at my.tiu.edu. After being registered, new students can review a Course & Fee Statement with the semester balance. Continuing program students may access the Dashboard at my.tiu.edu to review the semester bill immediately after completing their online registration. Continuing program students are expected to check this Course & Fee Statement for the balance due. A separate bill will not be mailed. Complete information on how to finalize payment can be found at tiu.edu/accounting.

Did you fill out a FAFSA? If yes, then please check your email to see what documents financial aid needs from you. If no, then filling out a FAFSA signals our office to award you.

Are you in financial aid verification? If yes, then please check your email to see what documents financial aid needs from you. If no, please email finaid@tiu.edu.

What is verification? This is a process that we are federally mandated to do. Students are randomly selected by the Dept of Ed. to have their incomes verified so that we award them an accurate amount of aid. We are not able to control the selections. There are many reasons why a student isn’t awarded, so please email finaid@tiu.edu and ask what is needed in order to be awarded.

Options for more aid include:

• the parent plus loan (apply at studentloans.gov)
• private loans 
• the church match program (TEDS and Trinity College)
  • must have all paperwork turned in by the first day of the term
  • the absolute deadline is the add drop period, 2 weeks into the semester church support (submit a check from a church at any time)
• if you have a special circumstance (an income change within the past 2 years) please email finaid@tiu.edu with an explanation of what that special circumstance is.
  • Depending on the circumstances, they may advise you to appeal your financial aid award.
  • Please do not start this process until you have contacted the financial aid office, this is a lengthy process and should only be done with the go ahead of the financial aid office.

Here are the payment methods accepted at Trinity:

• Cash (to be turned into our office in person)
• Check (written by you or your bank, made out to T.I.U., with the student ID number in the memo line)

Students who have a credit on their account from an excess of Federal Financial Aid can expect a processing time of 1-2 weeks after the credit becomes available on the account. For courses that began on the semester start date of August 21, if the student is eligible for federal student loans, these funds will post officially to the account at the earliest of September 4. Please allow 1-2 weeks for a check to be received after September 4 due to the large volume of funds being issued.

For students whose first class begins later in the term, loan funds will disburse to the account two weeks from the first class start date. Please note the same 1-2 week time frame applies to receive a check after the credit is available on the account. If you would like for the credit to remain on your account for the academic year, please fill out the Title IV Authorization Form. Otherwise, a check will be issued to your campus mailbox. If you do not have an active mailbox, the check will be sent to the mailing address on file. To request to pick up the check in our office, you may submit a Student Account Refund Request. Selecting office pick-up will not expedite a check request.

Please visit studentloans.gov and select Parent Borrowers from the main page and then the top option for Apply for a PLUS Loan.
