The Office of Student Accounts is committed to helping students and their families navigate the financial aspects of their Pomona education. Our office manages student billing, payment processing, refunds, monthly statements, and IRS Form 1098-T reporting for enrolled students.
Whether you have questions about your student account, making a payment, understanding charges, or receiving a refund, our team is here to answer your questions and provide the support you need throughout your academic journey at Pomona College.
Families of Pomona College students may choose between two different billing schedules—a monthly payment plan (with an enrollment fee of $35/semester) or a full payment plan. Please read the following information carefully as you decide which plan best suits your needs and begin making your financial arrangements.
Full Payment Plan: If you do not elect to use the Monthly Payment Plan, you will be billed one payment per semester.
- Payment in full is due on August 1 for the Fall semester.
- Payment in full is due on January 2 for the Spring semester.
- You will also receive a statement any month in which miscellaneous charges are billed. These charges are due and payable in the month billed.
- A $25.00 late fee will be charged on all delinquent accounts.
Monthly Payment Plan: The Monthly Payment Plan allows families to spread the cost of tuition, housing and food, and student-body fees over the academic year.
- There are four monthly payments for each semester.
- There is a $35.00 per semester enrollment fee for this plan.
- The first installment is due on or before August 1.
- An installment is due every month, reflected on the monthly statement.
- The Fall semester due dates are August 1, September 1, October 1, & November 1.
- The Spring due dates are January 1, February 1, March 1, & April 1.
- Miscellaneous charges such as parking citations and health center fees are due and payable in the month billed. These charges are not spread over your remaining monthly payments.
- A $25.00 late fee will be charged on all delinquent accounts.
Returned Payments & Delinquent Accounts
Payments returned by the bank for non-sufficient funds, revoked authorization, or an invalid routing/account number are subject to a returned payment fee of $25.
If your payment is not received by the due date, a Business Hold will be placed on the account, and a late payment charge will be assessed at the rate of $25 per month until the past due account is paid in full. Students who have outstanding charges at the end of a semester will be placed on a business hold and will not be allowed to register for the next semester. Graduating seniors who have outstanding charges will have diploma withheld until all bills have been paid.
Housing and Food Costs
Housing and food payments cover rent and the cost of meals during and just prior to the opening of classes. Students may change meal plans until the 10th day of classes through the Office of Housing and Residence Life. The College will cover the housing and food costs for new students if they are asked to arrive prior to that date, and for any returning students who are needed to assist with the opening activities.
The housing agreement does not include the use of rooms during summer or during winter vacations; the College reserves the right to assign other persons to rooms during these periods. Students who wish to stay on campus during these periods must request special arrangements with the Office of Housing and Residence Life. If such a request is approved, there will be a nominal charge for the privilege. The College dining halls are normally closed during these periods.
Enrollment Deposit
You will not see a credit on your statement for payment of the first-year deposit. Deposits are held in a separate account and will be refunded directly to the student upon graduation (or withdrawal) from the College after settlement of the final bill.
