The student health fee is an investment in the overall well-being of the St. Thomas community. It ensures that students have access to Counseling and Psychological Services, Health Services, and a wide range of Health Promotion programs designed to support academic success and personal growth.
This fee helps maintain a campus environment where students can thrive—whether through direct care, educational outreach, or preventative initiatives. Even if students don’t personally use these services, they benefit from having trained health educators, counselors, and medical professionals on campus who contribute to a healthier, more resilient learning community.
Importantly, the fee also supports 24/7 phone counseling and crisis counseling services, ensuring that students have access to immediate support whenever they need it.
In addition to direct services, the health fee contributes to the sustainability of campus health resources by funding essential medical supplies, technology, and the ongoing training of health professionals who serve our students.
Payment of the account balance is due in full by the first payment due date of the term unless taking advantage of the extended payment plan. The cost of the extended payment plan - which allows payment over the course of the term in monthly installments - is a 1.1% finance charge that is assessed on any remaining account balance after a given due date. In order to avoid the assessment of finance charges, the entire balance on account must be paid in full by the due date.
End of Term allows students that are reimbursed by employers the ability to pay tuition after classes are complete without the account becoming delinquent. Every student selecting an extended payment option is assessed a monthly finance charge. The Payment Agreement Form you signed specifically addresses the finance charge that will be assessed.
If you are currently waitlisted for a class you will not be billed until you are actually enrolled in that class. If you register for a class after our billing cycle, you will be charged on the next month's billing statement.
