Dear Spalding students,
Welcome to the fall 2020 semester! We look forward to having you as a Spalding student for the 2020-21 academic year.
We want to give you an overview of how the Bursar’s and Financial Aid Offices will operate this year along with instructions and reminders related to balances, payments and financial aid. Please review the following sections and never hesitate to email bursar@spalding.edu or financialaid@spalding.edu with your questions.
Offices to operate virtually
This fall, due to COVID-19 and social-distancing protocols, the Bursar’s and Financial Aid offices will not be open for walk-in traffic. We offer one-to-one support to students virtually and will schedule GoToMeetings if necessary to assist students and parents with their needs. Again, please email bursar@spalding.edu or financialaid@spalding.edu with questions or to schedule virtual appointments.
Deadlines for fall payments
Students with a balance must make a payment for the fall term by whichever of the following dates applies to them:
- Residential students: The day you move in.
- Non-residential/commuter students: Aug. 21.
Alternately, students may enroll in a payment plan. The first payment plan installment date was Aug. 1. See the sections below with instructions for checking and paying your balance, or setting up a payment plan.
How to check your balance
To review your billing statement and balance, please click on the dollar sign ($) button on the right side of your Spalding Portal. After reviewing your billing statement, if there is not a balance due, no further action is needed. Please note, a minus (-) sign in front of the balance total, (for example, -$1,451), indicates a credit, not a balance due.
How to pay your balance
Online: You can pay your balance in full online by clicking on the dollar sign ($) button under the Link Launcher section on the right side of the portal. Please note that payments made by choosing electronic funds transfer are free. Payments made using a debit or credit card charge a 2.5% fee.
By mail: Mail checks or money orders made payable to “Spalding University” to the following address:
845 South Third Street
Louisville, KY 40203
Attention: Bursar’s Office
Payment plans
Payment plans are available through your Spalding Portal by clicking on the payment plan link that is under the Link Launcher section on the right side the page. Payment plans require a $35 setup fee that must be paid to activate the plan. Please keep in mind that each semester (fall, spring) requires a new payment plan to be set up. Fall payment plans run from August through January. Spring payment plans run from February through July.
Financial aid status
You can check that status of your financial aid by using the link launcher links for financial aid or by viewing your billing statement.
For questions regarding financial aid, please email financialaid@spalding.edu.
On all matters related to your aid, balances, payments, refunds, etc., please know that we are here for you and eager to help.
Sincerely,
Michelle Standridge, Director of Financial Aid
Sarah West, Bursar
