completed application.

Application?
Yes, you must send the deposit with your application. If you
are funded for an EOP Room and Board Scholarship, the
deposit will be credited to your campus account.

Loans have been placed in my financial aid package, do I

No, you do not have to take out loans that are in your
financial aid package. If you want to work out a payment
plan with Enrollment Services, you may do so. The number for
this office is (973) 761-9332. However, most students who
stay on campus throughout the year need to take out a loan.
When do I repay the loan?
The Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan is paid by the
student 6 months after the student graduate from Seton Hall
University. It is paid back in small amounts over a 5-10
year period. Also, the interest on this subsidized loan is
paid by the government while the student is in school.
If the student is unemployed or goes back to school after
they graduate from Seton Hall University, then he/she
request to defer the payment of their loans until he/she has
either obtained a job or has graduated from
graduate/professional school.
How do I set up a payment plan with the University to cover
tuition costs?
Along with your bill, you should have received two payment
plan options.
(a) Seton Hall University Interest-Free Monthly Payment
Plan; fill out the Enrollment Form, (10 monthly payments),
and
(b) Seton Hall University Request for Deferred Payment (Form
S) fill out payment form, (4 monthly payments).

complete a summer school application and be approved for
