Payment Plans

Trent offers various payment plans each term.  Students are encouraged to enroll in a payment plan in order to budget and schedule their payments, avoid registration blocks and late payment fees.  **Payment plans are ready and will be visible once term charges are applied**

HOW PAYMENT PLANS WORK

• Payments are made in equal installments (biweekly or monthly) and are based on term fees/balances owing
• Payments are processed automatically on the installment due date
• Enrollment fee is due at the time of plan registration
• Budget and schedule your payments so you never miss a deadline
• Avoid late fees and account restrictions with your on-time payments
• Real-time payments update your student account immediately
• Students and their authorized users can enroll in payment plans
• Payment Plans will be available once charges are applied to the student account   e.g. Early to Mid August for Fall Term

COST OF THE PLAN

• $150 non-refundable enrollment fee is due, at plan enrollment

• Late payments will be billed a $25.00 late fee for each late payment
• Returned payments will be billed a $40.00 return fee 

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible to participate in the plan, you must be:

• A current student
• Have charges in the applicable term 

DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR A PAYMENT PLAN

• There is no deadline to enroll in a payment plan.  If a student enrolls after payments are due within the plan, the student is required to pay the missed installments at the time of enrollment  

HOW TO ENROLL

• Log-in to myTrent > Finances > My Account > Account-Make a Payment icon
• Review the installments
• Add your payment method
• Review the agreement and accept the terms and conditions
• Receive your confirmation
• Review your installments at any time through the student self-service portal

 PAYMENT METHODS - must be set-up at the time of plan set-up

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• All payment plan payments must be in good standing to remain on the payment plan.  If your payment plan is not in good standing, an account restriction will be added to your student account and there will be a hold on future registration. 
• Registering for a payment plan to pay down past due fees does not remove the restriction on the student account or entitle the student access to further registration including access to official documents - including grades, transcripts, and degree or diploma certificates.   
• Installment amounts will auto-adjust as the account balance owing fluctuates
• Receipt of Financial Aid or scholarships do not count as an installment payment.  These credits simply reduce the amount owing and will reduce the remaining installment amounts equally.
• The payment plan service charge is non-refundable. 
• Once the plan for the term has been approved, the installments are static.  
• Accounts will be restricted and late fees and interest may apply if there is an outstanding balance after the final installment due date for the term.

What is an Authorized User in the Student Payment Center?
