Payment Information
The first tuition payment is due upon receipt of the orientation reservation or other intent to enroll document. Subsequent payments must be received by the due date; see the Tuition Delinquency policy for details.
Tuition is billed at least one month prior to the due date or during registration for the term, and is considered delinquent if not received by the due date. Delinquent accounts are subject to penalty fees and finance charges.
Tuition due dates for academic year 2016-2017 are as follows:
Fall 2016 - Due 08/31/2016
Spring 2017 - Due 01/03/2017
Summer 2017 - Due 05/01/2017
Students expecting a student loan or tuition reimbursement assistance need to have reserve funds available to cover tuition costs between the time tuition is due and the time of receipt of the loan disbursement or reimbursement. Students are responsible for tuition payments upon enrollment, whether or not a loan or reimbursement is pending.
Payments must be issued in US dollars. Payment can be made online via WebAdvisor in the myFielding portal. WebAdvisor will accept electronic check payments, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover credit cards. Payments may also be mailed to the address noted below:
Fielding Graduate University
2020 De la Vina Street
Santa Barbara, CA 93105-3538
Attn: Student Accounts
Cost of Attendance for Financial Aid
The cost of attendance (COA) budget is used to calculate need eligibility for certain scholarship funds, and it provides a cap for maximum allowable aid. The actual COA is calculated and shown on the Award Letter when a student requests financial aid. Significant cost increases due to individual circumstances, such as disabilities, dependent care, or computer purchase may be considered on an individual basis. These costs are not paid directly to Fielding and are estimates for an average student.
