Payment Deadlines
To secure your advanced or regular registration, all payments must be made in full by the appropriate deadlines, or arrangements must be made. Your course schedule may be canceled if payments aren't made and the University concludes such action is appropriate.
NOTE: You are required to withdraw from all classes if you decide not to attend. Failure to do so may result in you being held fully responsible for all charges to your student account. Click to view the schedule of withdrawal refunds.
Tuition and fees are due and payable at the time of registration (unless you have made other financial arrangements). You can pay in U.S. dollars by check, money order, MasterCard or Visa. No cash should be mailed to the University. Lincoln offers deferred payment plan options to make your college experience manageable.
All payments (including priority, express, etc.) must be addressed to:
