General Information
- Jerusalem University College uses email as an official method of communication; therefore, students are responsible for reading and responding to any emails they receive from JUC in a timely manner. Given the time sensitivity of communications, students who owe a balance to the University agree to keep their university records up to date with their current physical address, email address, and phone. Personal information may be managed using their JUC portal.
- By registering for classes, the student is creating a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the US Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(8) and is deferring some or all their payment obligations. Students (or someone on their behalf) are responsible for and promise to pay JUC the principal, tuition, fees, interest charges, and any other charges that accrue and are added to their student account by the published or assigned due date(s).
- JUC will make every effort to ensure that students’ accounts are as accurate as possible. If an administrative, clerical, or technical billing error does occur, the student will contact the Finance Office as soon as possible so that the error can be corrected. In the case of a billing error, the student remains financially responsible for their bill.
- A student's registration for classes indicates a commitment to pay for all related charges as stated on the fee schedule.
- Invoices are created for students after their deposit is received and will be sent to students no later than 30 days prior to the semester start date. Student account balances will be updated after the add/drop deadline if students make changes to their course registration.
- Students or their associated school are responsible for submitting payment for all program fees.
- Students can apply for JUC payment plans to if they wish to divide their Program Payment into multiple payments.
- Students who withdraw from JUC prior to the end of a semester are still responsible for paying any remaining balance on their student account. The effective date of the withdrawal from JUC is determined by the Office of the Registrar. Failure to attend class(es) does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal, and the student must follow the current policies and procedures of JUC.

Payment plans must be arranged through the student's JUC Portal prior to the initial payment deadline. The payment options are listed below:
