Bills for each semester are available prior to the beginning of each semester. Students receive their billing statements electronically through their student portal.

  • Assumption University is pleased to offer students and families the option ofa tuition protection refund program offered through GradGuard.  It is an inexpensive form of protection, and we urge you to consider the advantages. It is vital that those who wish to participate do so before the opening of the semester.  For more information and how to enroll visit www.gradguard.com/tuition/assumption. Enrollment is offered through the Student Account Center when you are making your payments electronically.

  • Massachusetts State Law requires that all full-time students have minimal medical coverage and has mandated institutions of higher learning to enforce this regulation. All students are billed for this coverage but may be able to waive the charge if they can prove comparable medical coverage. Students may enroll/waive this coverage electronically through the Student Account Center in the student portal once they receive the email alert that their Fall 2024 statement is available. The link to enroll/waive is within the Student Account Center. The student medical insurance rate for 2024/2025 is $4,090 for coverage from August 15, 2024, to August 14, 2025. The spring 2025 plan is $2,420 for coverage from January 15, 2025, to August 14, 2025.

    If after reviewing the student medical plan, you determine you have comparable health care coverage or you chose to enroll in the plan, please log into your Student Account Center in student portal to enroll or waive. You will need to complete a waiver or enrollment form before the payment deadline. To complete the waiver, you will need your seven-digit Assumption student ID number, Assumption email address and health insurance information. 
    Students who fail to complete either the enrollment or waiver form by the payment deadline will be automatically enrolled and the charge will remain on their student account.

    If you have any questions about the online waiver/enrollment process or about the student medical insurance plan, please contact University Health Plans (833) 251-1744.

      A 1098-T is a statement of payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses posted to your student account and grants or scholarships received during the calendar year.  The 1098-T does not indicate your eligibility for tax benefits; rather, it provides you with information about your account which you or your tax preparer may use to determine your education tax benefit eligibility.  For more information on these credits visit the IRS website.
    • What tax benefits am I eligible for?
      The 1098-T does not indicate your eligibility for tax benefits.  You may be eligible for certain tax incentives even if you are not issued a 1098-T.  You may receive a 1098-T but not qualify for education tax benefits. The 1098-T provides information that you may use to determine your eligibility for tax incentives.  For assistance in determining your eligibility for education tax benefits, consult IRS Publication 970 and /or your tax preparer.

  • All students must agree to the Financial Responsibility Agreement, which will be displayed in the student portal, web advisor-student planning prior to course registration. The Financial Responsibility Agreement acknowledges the student’s understanding that course registration creates a financial obligation to pay the resulting tuition, fees, penalties and other associated charges to Assumption University by the published due date(s).  Payments not received by the due date(s) are subject to late fees, collections, attorney and litigation costs, which also become a financial obligation of the student.

    Students must accept the Financial Responsibility Agreement twice per year. Students will need to electronically accept this agreement prior to registering for Fall/Summer classes. The Fall Agreement will cover ALL Summer terms and All Fall terms. This also needs to be done prior to registering for Spring/Intersession classes. The Spring Agreement will cover all Spring and Intersession terms.

  • What is the Financial Responsibility Agreement?
    This statement outlines the terms and conditions of the Financial Responsibilities and obligations associated with attending Assumption University.

    I am planning to graduate this semester. Do I have to complete this agreement?
    You are required to complete the Financial Responsibility Agreement only if you continue to attend Assumption University after graduation – either as an undergraduate, graduate or a professional student.

    Why is Assumption University doing this?
    Attending Assumption University creates a financial obligation.  We feel it is important that students understand and acknowledge the financial responsibilities associated with attendance.

    Do other institutions do this?
    Yes. It is a common practice among higher education institutions across the United States, and it is consistent with the national movement to increase financial literacy among university students.

    How do I complete the Financial Responsibility Agreement?
    Students agree to the terms and conditions of the Financial Responsibility Agreement every Fall and Spring term with an electronic signature through the Web-Advisor/Self Service Student Planning.

    Can I sign the Financial Responsibility Agreement in paper form?
    No, all students must accept electronically online through Web-Advisor/Self Service Student Planning.

    My parents pay my tuition. Can they complete the form?
    No, while payment by a third party is acceptable, it is the enrolled student who is ultimately responsible for agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Financial Responsibility Agreement.

    What if I have an appointment or a scholarship that covers the cost of tuition?
    Because certain eligibility is required and must be maintained in order to have the cost of attending Assumption University covered by other means, students who have their cost of attendance paid by graduate fee authorizations, appointments, sponsorship, scholarships or other third-parties are ultimately financially responsible for these costs.  As such, all students must agree to the Financial Responsibility Agreement every Fall and Spring term for which they are enrolled.

    What if I do not submit the statement?
    Students who do not complete the Financial Responsibility Agreement prior to registering each term will not be able to register for classes.  Once the statement is accepted registration can begin.

    I accepted the Financial Responsibility Agreement, but still can’t register what should I do?
    First, check to see if you have any “hold alerts” when you sign into your student portal at My.assumption.edu.  Your “hold alert” will tell you what office to contact.

    If you don’t have any hold alerts, please contact the Student Accounts office at 508-767-7351 during business hours 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,  Monday to Friday or email studentaccounts@assumption.edu.
