    Payment Plan FAQs

    College Green Payment System is a product of Financial Payments. Offered through Shaw University, the College Green Payment Service is a system designed to allow students, parents, or anyone to make electronic payments towards college tuition and fees through a safe and secure online process.

    • No, it is an interest free installment plan offered to you by Shaw University.

    • There is a nonrefundable enrollment fee for participating in a payment plan. Other fees that may be applicable are payments that are returned due to insufficient funds.

    • The amount you owe is the amount provided from your Student Accounts record with Shaw University. If you have added or dropped a class recently, this would affect the balance due. Please feel free to check with the Student Accounts office if you feel the balance due on your student record is not correct.

    • Yes, you have the option to revise the amount you owe. However, you are responsible for making sure your student account balance is paid according to Shaw University guidelines. When you are allowed to defer payments, the university will often have specific guidelines that you must meet in order to pay your account balance in full. Ex: 50% prior to the first day of class and 100% by the end of the semester.

    • You must scroll down to the bottom of the agreements to accept them and proceed to the next step. You can download the Agreements if you choose to do so by selecting “Download” in the top of the agreement documents. In addition, the agreements will be emailed to you. Agreements can also be viewed by accessing your user profile in the College Green payment plan website.

    • This creates a user profile with College Green and allows you to access your account at your convenience without going through Shaw’s student portal. We recommend you bookmark College Green’s web address during enrollment so you can use their secure login process to access your account.

    • Your payment will not be processed. The card that is used for making payments must have the same billing information that you entered into College Green’s online payment system. This includes the billing zip code.

      If the declined payment is for a regularly scheduled payment, College Green will attempt to collect the payment again in 5 business days.

      If the decline is due to insufficient funds for the enrollment fee, you will need to choose a different credit/debit card with sufficient funds available on your card.

    • This will affect the amount owed to Shaw University. Other events that can change the amount you owe include room and board (Commuter vs. Resident) charges or adjustments. The balance due in your student record is updated by the Student Accounts office. Should you have any questions regarding the amount owed or your charges, you should contact Student Accounts directly. If the amount you owe changes after you have enrolled in a payment plan, you would need to access your College Green payment plan and accept the new payment amount and updated disclosures.

    • You can choose the email address that you prefer to receive communications. College Green will use this for payment confirmations and payment reminders.

    • Yes. You will receive an email conformation from College Green as soon as your payment has been processed.

    • Your payment will be applied to your student account on the day of the scheduled payment. If your payment is declined by your Credit Card Company or Financial Institution at a later time, your balance will be revised.

    • After you login to your account you would select “Payment Plans” from the toolbar. Select “More Details” for the plan you want to cancel. Use caution before proceeding if you have more than one active payment plan. Select “Cancel Plan” once plan details have displayed. Please note that cancelling your plan does not release you from your financial obligation to Shaw University.
