When is the payment plan available?
We determine the availability of the payment plans. We may choose to close it down during specific times and dates during registration.
What amount should my payment plan be?
The term balance on TouchNet is real-time and shows what you owe after all of your accepted financial aid. If you need assistance, please contact the Office of the Bursar.
Why isn't my payment or add/drop reflected in my balance?
The plan will not automatically adjust to changes in financial aid, outside payments, or any additional activity on your account. You should review your agreement balance and compare it to your monthly tuition statement to determine whether your plan balance needs to be increased or decreased. To increase or decrease payments, the student must email the Office of the Bursar at bursar@delval.edu from his or her DelVal email address at least 4 business days prior to the next installment due date.
What happens if my payment is returned?
When a payment plan payment is returned for any reason, DelVal will charge a $50 fee to the student account, place a hold, and terminate the payment plan. If the student is registered for a future term, a failed payment plan may also result in the loss of future academic registration.
