Financial Responsibility and Account Holds
Students are responsible to pay full tuition and fees unless they officially drop or withdraw prior to the start of classes. Students with an account balance of $250 or more will not be allowed to register. Please contact the Bursars office at 609-896-5020 regarding account information.
Financial Aid
Financial aid options are limited during the summer. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Student Financial Services at 609-896-5360 prior to summer registration in order to explore these options. If financial aid is not in place at the start of the session, students will be expected to pay their charges in full.
Students must fill out an Application for Summer Financial Aid (available in the Office of Student Financial Services) in addition to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Summer aid generally is offered in the form of loans. A financial aid counselor will review your application to determine how much you can apply for to cover summer expenses. An award letter will be sent out within two weeks indicating which loan you may apply for and the maximum amount.
If you have not exhausted all of your Federal Stafford Loan eligibility, then you may be awarded a Stafford Loan. If you have no additional Stafford Loan eligibility remaining, you can finance summer classes through alternative loans. Information and applications are available electronically (links at www.rider.edu/sfs) or on paper from the Office of Student Financial Services.
Deferment Plan
Students may subscribe to the deferred payment plan that provides for two equal payments for the summer. A $25 deferred payment plan fee is required for the plan. A Deferred Payment Plan form for the summer may be accessed online at www.rider.edu/summer.
Corporate Deferred Payment Plan or Third-Party Sponsorship
Students who are eligible for company or other third-party tuition remission may qualify for our Corporate or Third-Party Sponsorship agreement. There is a $25 application fee for the plan. Upon signing the agreement, tuition payment is deferred until the end of each summer session. More information about this plan and requisite documentation is available at www.rider.edu/summer.
