Online Monthly Statement
Around the 27th of each month, we'll send an email to your Bethel email address alerting you that your online monthly statement is available to view with access instructions.
Your monthly statements will not reflect specific information regarding your payment plan, such as due dates and monthly installment amounts. You can view your monthly statements in the My Statements and Finances channel in MyBethel. However, an email will be sent each time a transaction occurs on your student account.
Recalculating Monthly Payments
Your payments are recalculated on the 15th of each month. Monthly installments will be determined by the balance owed divided by the number of payments left on the payment plan. Therefore, monthly payment amounts may differ each month.
If you'd like to lower your monthly bills, you can choose to make a down payment before enrolling in a payment plan. The monthly installment payments will be based on the remaining balance on your student account.
Late Fees
There are no additional interest charges for students participating in the payment plan. However, if removed from the payment plan due to delinquent installment payments there will be a late fee of $10 per month for any unpaid balance.
Loans and Scholarships
Loans and financial aid that have been authorized and recorded by the Office of Financial Aid will be considered when calculating monthly payments. Make sure to apply for loans well in advance for the funds to be disbursed by the beginning of the term.
Outside scholarships and Church Partnerships Grants will reduce the amount you owe on your student account. Recalculation will not occur until the scholarships have been posted.
