Ways to pay
Pick the way that works for you.
Current and returning students: please pay in Colleague Self-Service. Your payment posts to your account automatically. Whichever way you pay, include your Student ID number.
Online in Self-Service
See your statement, review your financial aid, make a payment, and enroll in a payment plan, all in one place. Log in through MyMoval and open Student Finance.
One-time online payment
For anyone without a Self-Service login: new students who haven’t enrolled yet, former students, scholarship sponsors, and other organizations paying MVU. Current students, please pay in Self-Service instead.
In person or by mail
Pay by cash, check, card, or wire transfer at the Business Office in the Ferguson Center, first floor. Or mail a check to: Business Office, Missouri Valley University, 500 E. College St., Marshall, MO 65340.
Card payments carry a 2.75% processing fee. Returned payments are charged $30.
Payment plans
Pay over time, interest-free.
Not paying your semester balance in full? A monthly payment plan through PayMyTuition is required. It isn’t a loan, and there’s no interest.
How plans work
- One $35 non-refundable enrollment fee per plan, each semester
- Pay by bank account (ACH) or card (cards carry a 2.75% fee)
- Automatic payments on the 15th or the last day of each month
- Fall: up to six payments, June through November. Enroll by August 10.
- Spring: up to five payments, December through April. Enroll by January 10.
- Your plan adjusts on its own if charges are added or removed

Paying for a student
For families and international students.
You don’t have to be the student to pay the bill.
Add an authorized user
Parents, guardians, and sponsors can make payments and join a payment plan as authorized users in PayMyTuition. Their banking details stay private. Follow the authorized user setup guide (PDF), or ask the Business Office for help.
Paying from outside the U.S.
International students and families can pay through PayMyTuition from any bank, in any country, in any currency. In Self-Service, go to Financial Information and select PayMyTuition Payment Center. PayMyTuition support: 1-855-663-6839 or support@paymytuition.com.
Account policies
What to know about your account.
These rules keep your classes, housing, and meal plan on track. Questions about your situation? The Business Office can help.
What you need to pay each semester
To keep access to campus housing, the dining hall, your classes, and athletic practice and competition:
- Pay any balance from last semester in full, and
- Pay this semester’s balance in full, or pay at least 25% of it (after scholarships, grants, and financial aid) and set up a payment plan. Plans must start by August 31 (fall) or January 31 (spring) and be paid off by November 30 (fall) or April 30 (spring).
If you fall more than 30 days behind on a payment plan, you’ll have 10 days to bring your account current. If you don’t, you may be suspended for the rest of the semester, and international students may lose F-1 status.
Late fees
Late fees may be added each month to past-due balances:
- $50 and under: $15
- $51 to $150: $25
- $151 to $499: $50
- $500 and over: $100
Late fees can’t be waived. Paying your full balance due is the way to avoid them.
Enrollment fee
Residential students pay a $200 enrollment fee each year. Online-only students pay $70 each session or semester. Returning students must pay by June 15 or they’ll be dropped from their classes; new students pay when they enroll. The fee is non-refundable, even if you drop your classes. Students who only audit classes don’t pay it.
Withdrawals and refunds
Thinking about withdrawing? Start with the Student Success Office. How much you get back depends on when you withdraw: after the add/drop period, the refund drops each week, and there’s no refund after the fourth week of a fall or spring semester.
Refunds of extra aid and your 1098-T
If your financial aid is more than your charges, set up direct deposit under Banking Information in Self-Service to get your refund. Learn how eRefunds work (PDF). Your 1098-T tax form is under Tax Information in Self-Service.
Book vouchers
Expecting a refund because your financial aid is more than your charges? A book voucher lets you use that aid early to buy textbooks and course materials through Ambassador and charge them to your student account. You won’t need one if your course materials are already provided.
To qualify, you need to:
- Be registered at least half-time (6 credit hours) in courses for your degree that semester
- Have pending financial aid for the semester that’s more than your charges
- Finish all your financial aid requirements, such as accepting your aid, entrance counseling, and your master promissory note. Check your financial aid checklist in Self-Service.
Requests are reviewed once billing is done: the second week of July for fall and the second week of December for spring. You’ll get an email at your MVU address when your request has been reviewed. If it’s approved, choose your book voucher at checkout in the Ambassador portal. Purchases post to your account in 2–3 business days. You can use voucher funds until the semester’s add/drop date.
Before you request one: if you don’t finish all your classes, federal rules may require part of your aid to be returned, and you’ll owe MVU any charges your aid no longer covers.
To request a book voucher, log in to Self-Service. Questions? Contact the Business Office.
