Additional Information

For students in our graduate-level programs, DelVal offers the option of deferring payment until 45 days after the end of the term. The deferred payment plan is the option if you wish to avoid the placement of a hold on your student account. Students who do not enroll in a deferred payment plan for the term(s) in which their courses are scheduled must pay in full or obtain federal or private loans by the start of the term.

DelVal works with TouchNet Information Systems, Inc.

  • Easy online enrollment at www.delval.edu/touchnet
  • Automatic withdrawals/charges with automatic bank payment (ACH), checking, savings account or a credit card
  • No interest
  • The $25 enrollment fee, is automatically withdrawn when you enroll.
  • Payment is initiated on the 45th day after the end of the term for the plan in which you enroll.
  • Please note that the you must enroll in the plan for the term in which you are registered to take courses. Enrollment in a deferred payment plan for a term in which you are not registered will result in the plan being terminated and the forfeiture of the enrollment fee. If you need help, please contact the Office of the Bursar at bursar@delval.edu.
  • Though the student's account is updated immediately, it may take 1 to 3 business days for the funds to be withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card. You should still make sure the funds are in the account on the due date.

Below are some important details about DelVal's payment plans.
