Monmouth University payment plans makes it easy to plan, budget and pay tuition payments on-time, interest free and without any surprises. Students and authorized users can enroll in an available plan and make payments via direct debit from your bank account or by using Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. A nonrefundable service fee is assessed to all credit card payments remitted towards tuition, fees, room & board, and other charges posted onto students’ accounts. It is currently 2.95% of the payment remitted or a minimum of $3.00. Please note that this service fee is NOT collected by Monmouth University.
