Billing

Lincoln Memorial University does not mail paper bills on a regular basis. Billing statements are available to students online through the MyLMU Self-Service Menu. To view statements, select "WebAdvisor for Students" and then "View Account and Make Payments." Electronic billing allows students to view their most recent account information and make payments online. Students can view a breakdown of their charges, their class schedule, accepted financial aid, balance information, and due dates through the Self-Service Menu. As soon as a student registers for classes at LMU, the billing statement is made available. Students are responsible for monitoring their MyLMU accounts and making payment arrangements before the billing due date.

Payment Methods

Note: A returned or nonsufficient funds (NSF) fee of $30 will be charged per occurrence.

Registration Complete Status

Students may pre-register for classes but will only be considered to have completed registration once payment arrangements are finalized, and the student does not owe a balance. Once a student’s registration is completed, the student will receive an email notification to their LMU email account. If revisions are made to the student’s schedule, housing/food options, or financial aid offer, the student's completion status may change. When revisions are made, students should monitor their billing statements in the MyLMU Self-Service Menu. Before the billing due date, students not coded as registration complete will receive a registration incomplete email reminder to their LMU email account. Students must complete registration to start classes or move into the residence halls.

Late Penalties

Accounts that are past due will be charged a late fee of 1.5% of the outstanding balance owed. Late fees will start being accessed on October 31 for the fall semester, March 31 for the spring semester, and July 31 for the summer semester and will be charged on the last day of each subsequent month until the account is paid in full, or the student signs a repayment agreement.   

Payment Plan - Late Payments

When enrolled in a payment plan, payments are due on the 1st of each month. Failure to make a payment will result in a $20 late fee that will be charged on the 7th of the month if payment is not received. Students who habitually fail to make their monthly payments may not be eligible to utilize the payment plan for future semesters.

Student Accounts Hold

When there are unpaid debts, an account hold may be placed on the student’s account. An account hold limits the student’s access to student services, such as registering for classes and requesting transcripts. Holds are removed when the unpaid debt is resolved.

Collections

If an account remains delinquent three months after the end of the semester, it will be sent to collections, and a 33.3% collections fee will be added to the principal balance.
