PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
Students enrolling for classes during the early registration period are not required to pay immediately. Electronic semester bills are forwarded four to six weeks before the beginning of each semester. Full payment is due, by the due date on the e-bill.
Student account balances by term are available within the Student Account Manager platform (SAM). Students enrolling after all initial billing dates have passed are expected to make payment immediately upon registration. Students are considered officially enrolled, able to earn credits, receive grades and graduate when all charges are paid in full and they have confirmed attendance. Students who register are responsible to drop any class they do not plan to attend. Failure to drop the class before the semester begins may result in charges and/or grades being posted to your records. Do not rely on the “drop for nonpayment” policy to remove classes.
Information about fees, payments and important billing dates can be found at www.millersville.edu/osa or at the Office of Student Accounts, Lyle Hall.
Payment Plan
Millersville University offers a variety of installment plans to meet the needs of students and families. These installment plans are only available in the Fall and Spring semesters.

MEAL PLAN - DESCRIPTION AND RATES
Residential Students - The 2024-2025 housing and meal rate is estimated to be $6,415 per semester with a Traditional Ville 19 Meal Plan of $2,375
per semester depending on housing and dining choices. All first-year residential students are required to have a Traditional Ville 19 Meal Plan during each semester (fall semester and spring semester) for an academic year total of approximately $4,750. Each residential student (first-year, transfer and upper-class) is automatically enrolled in the Traditional Ville 19 Meal Plan. Students with greater than 30 credit hours, including transfer and upper-class students, may change their Traditional Ville 19 Meal Plan to the Traditional Ville 14 ($2,200), or 150 Block ($2,035) no later than the Friday prior to the first day of classes each semester. A Traditional weekly Meal Plan is the number of meals per week. The Traditional Ville 19 and 14 Meal Plans begin Monday morning and end Sunday night. Block Meal Plans are the number of meals swipes per semester.
Commuter Students (non-Millersville University Resident Students) – All commuter students may sign up for any of the Meal Plans for the fall and spring semesters. Commuter students who are Meal Plan members during the fall semester are not automatically signed up for a spring semester Meal Plan. Commuter students may become a 90, 60, or 45 Block Meal Plan member at any time during the fall or spring semester.
Each of the Traditional and Block Meal Plans include a set amount of Flex Dollars for each semester. Students are responsible for managing their weekly and semester meals and Flex Dollars. The use of a Traditional or Block Meal at our Resident Dining Hall, the Upper Deck or any of our Retail Dining locations is considered a Meal Swipe. A Meal Swipe at the Upper Deck provides access to the “all-you-care-to-eat” dining room. The use of a Traditional or Block Meal Swipe at our on-campus retail locations is limited to a variety of meal items listed on a meal column chart. Any add-ons and/or upgrades may be paid using Flex Dollars. As a reference point for the use of Flex Dollars, there are approximately 15 academic weeks each semester. An average weekly Flex Dollar expenditure is simply calculated by dividing the amount of Flex Dollars affiliate with each respective Meal Plan by 15. Parents and students may add Flex Dollars at any time during the semester via our “Get Funds App”. Flex Dollars roll over from the Fall Semester to the Spring Semester. Commuter students, who choose not to sign up for an additional Meal Plan during the Spring Semester, may use any unused Flex Dollars from the fall semester provided they are enrolled for classes. Any unused Flex Dollars at the end of the Spring Semester are forfeited. The only exception is a student who is enrolled in Summer Session 1 classes, they may use any remaining Flex Dollars. All remaining Flex Dollars after the fourth Friday of Summer Session 1 are then forfeited.
Summer Session III – Enrolled students living in Residence Halls are required to have Block Plan for Summer Session III. Students may choose between the 90 Block Plan with $150 flex dollars or the 60 Block Plan with $150 flex dollars. Each resident student will automatically be enrolled in the 60 Block Plan. Students may change to the 90 Block no later than the Friday prior to the first day of classes for Summer Session III. Any Flex Dollars left after Summer Session III are rolled over to the Fall semester provided the student is enrolled for classes during the fall semester.
Students living off campus are welcome and invited to become Meal Plan members. All students are welcome to dine at the Upper Deck in Gordinier Hall and all Retail Dining Locations on campus. Off-campus students may sign up for a Meal Plan at any time. Students who sign up prior to the beginning of a semester, who wish to cancel or change their Meal Plan choice must do so by the Friday prior to the first day of classes semester. Students who sign up for a Meal Plan after the first day of classes looking to change or cancel their meal plan choice should reach out to Heather Keck at 717-871-5651.

for the 2024-2025 academic year. The total cost of attendance for commuting students living at home with their parents/guardians is estimated at $22,228, and $34,052 for nonresidents for the 2024-2025 academic year.

This amount assumes the student is sharing facilities and rental costs with at least one other person. The cost of attendance is comprised of direct costs (billed by the university) and indirect costs (possible educational expenses you may incur).

This federally funded grant is automatically awarded to eligible undergraduate students pursuing their first bachelor's degree. For more information, go to: millersville.edu/grants. To apply, students simply need to complete the FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. If eligible, students will receive notification of the award in their financial aid offer from Millersville.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This program is intended to provide additional support to students who have exceptional financial need, which is determined by the FAFSA and the Student Aid Index (SAI) calculated. FSEOG is exclusively for undergraduate students pursuing their first bachelor's degree and enrolled at least half-time (6 credits). FSEOG is automatically awarded to eligible students and award amounts range from $1,000-$2,000 per year. For more information, go to: https://www.millersville.edu/finaid/financial-aid-options/grants/index.php
STATE GRANT PROGRAMS
The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) offers state grants, known as the PA State Grant, to assist Pennsylvania residents in need of financial support to attend approved higher education institutions. To apply for a PA State Grant, simply complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the deadline of May 1s and ensure your application with PHEAA is complete. To complete the FAFSA, go to: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa
Grant award amounts depend on educational expenses and resources. Students must be in a degree-seeking an undergraduate program and be enrolled at least half-time (6 Credits) to be eligible. PA State Grants are subject to annual review and may change from year to year. Renewal depends on satisfactory academic standing, continued need for financial assistance and the availability of funds appropriated by the Pennsylvania General Assembly. For more information, go to: https://www.millersville.edu/finaid/financial-aid-options/grants/index.php. To ensure your application is complete, go to: pheaa.org
STUDENT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS
Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)
Federal Work-Study provides part-time employment opportunities for students who have completed a FAFSA and demonstrate financial need, enabling them to earn money while attending school. Although this program is part of the financial aid package, the funds are not directly applied to a student's bill. Federal Work-Study offers valuable opportunities for eligible students to work on-campus or in off-campus positions, including non-profit organizations or public agencies, with a focus on work in the public interest. Students can earn up to the amount awarded and are typically paid on a biweekly basis, with payment based on the number of hours worked. For more information, go to: millersville.edu/work-study
Millersville University Student Employment Program
At Millersville University, students do not need to be eligible for Federal Work-Study to secure employment opportunities on campus. A variety of positions are available that cater to different skills and interests, providing valuable work experience while accommodating students' schedules. Whether it's working at the library, in a department office, or in a campus facility, there are plenty of options available for students seeking employment to support their academic and personal goals. Wages are earned in the form of a paycheck and are not applied to a student's bill. To search available positions, go to: https://jobs.millersville.edu/ > Search Jobs > Position Type: Student Worker
LOAN PROGRAMS
Federal Direct Loans
The Federal Direct Student Loan program guarantees loans from the Department of Education to students who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and maintain at least half-time enrollment (6 credits per semester). Unlike other loan programs, these loans are solely in the student's name, and no credit check or co-signer is required.
The annual loan amount varies based on the student's grade level (number of credits earned) and dependency status, with dependent undergraduate students eligible for a total of $5,500 to $7,500 per year, including a potentially subsidized portion of up to $3,500 to $5,500. Subsidized loans are awarded based on financial need as determined by the FAFSA, offering the significant benefit of being interest-free while enrolled at least half-time. Any unsubsidized portions accrue interest during enrollment but feature low-fixed interest rates and multiple repayment options. Repayment is not required until six months after the student leaves school (graduates, withdraws, takes a leave of absence, or ceases to be enrolled at least half-time). Federal Direct Student Loans are highly recommended before exploring other loan options.
Eligible students who complete a FAFSA will be automatically offered Federal Direct Student Loans in their financial aid package, however, it's essential for students to actively accept these loans for them to be applied toward their bill. Additionally, first-time borrowers must complete loan Entrance Counseling and a Direct Loan Agreement/Master Promissory Note (MPN) at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
For more information go to: https://www.millersville.edu/finaid/financial-aid-options/loans/index.php
Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans
Federal Parent PLUS Loans are available to the parents of dependent undergraduate students to assist with providing additional financial support for their child's education after other federal and state aid sources. These loans are taken out in the parent's name, and the parent is responsible for repayment. For more information, go to: https://www.millersville.edu/finaid/financial-aid-options/loans/index.php
Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans
Designed to cover remaining educational costs beyond other financial aid, Graduate PLUS Loans are available to students pursuing master's or doctoral degrees and should typically only be considered after exploring federal Unsubsidized Loan options. For more information go to: https://www.millersville.edu/finaid/financial-aid-options/loans/index.php
Private/Alternative Loans
Private/Alternative loans serve as additional financial aid options for students, filling the gap left after federal and state aid. These educational loan programs, provided by private lenders, require approval based on creditworthiness. Typically, if the student is the borrower, a co-signer is needed to secure the loan. Interest rates for private loans are determined by credit history and can be fixed or variable, often higher than federal loan rates. For more information, go to: https://www.millersville.edu/finaid/financial-aid-options/loans/index.php
Advanced Refund Request
An Advanced Refund Request allows students to receive an early payment of their anticipated refund. Students typically receive a refund when their financial aid exceeds their charges. Since financial aid disbursement happens after the add/drop period each semester, students can apply for an advance of up to $350 to cover educational expenses such as books or other unforeseen costs. Applications open the Wednesday before classes start and can be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid. If there are changes to the financial aid package resulting in a reduced refund, the student must repay the difference within 30 days to the Office of Student Accounts.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP)
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is a term used to describe the successful completion of coursework toward a degree or certificate. Making progress toward a degree is important for your academic success and a key factor in reducing student debt. Federal and state aid programs have separate SAP standards that students must meet at the end of each academic year to continue receiving funding.
FEDERAL TITLE IV SAP
This policy applies to all federal Title IV funding such as the Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, PLUS Loans, Work-Study, some scholarships, external awards, and private loans. Federal SAP has three separate measures and students must meet all three components to be considered as making Satisfactory Academic Progress. These components are Cumulative GPA, Completion Rate, and Maximum Timeframe. For example, undergraduate students must meet 67% of all attempted credits, maintain a 2.0 GPA after four semesters at Millersville, and can only receive federal aid up to 150% of their program length. This policy is cumulative and applies to all students and periods of enrollment, regardless of aid being received. For more information on the federal SAP requirements and policy go to: millersville.edu/fa-sap
PA STATE GRANT SAP
The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) has a SAP policy for state aid programs they administer, such as the PA State Grant, Partnerships for Access To Higher Education (PATH) Grant, and the Ready to Succeed Scholarship (RTSS). For PA State Grant purposes, full-time students must successfully complete 24 new credits each year or 12 credits each semester. Part-time students must successfully complete at least 6 new credits each semester. You are required to meet SAP standards for any semester that you receive a PA State Grant – please be aware summer is considered a semester. Remedial credits taken during a semester that you aren’t receiving a PA State Grant will not be counted toward progress. For more information on PHEAA SAP go to: millersville.edu/fa-sap
