DEPOSIT PAYMENT:
A non-refundable deposit of $1000 USD (deposit amounts for financial aid recipients will vary, and this amount will be displayed on your CollegeNet online enrollment form) is due at the time of enrollment (date indicated on your admission letter). The remaining balance is due in full on the date reflected on your tuition bill. Installment payments can be made through Penn Pay until the due date. After completing your enrollment form, you will automatically be routed to the deposit page for payment. If you experience any issues with the enrollment or deposit payment page, please contact CollegeNET directly.
PROGRAM PAYMENT:
Once you are enrolled in ESAP, a bill will be generated (later) by Penn’s Student Financial Services. We will send an email with information on how to log into Penn Pay and access your bill. However, please note that our office DOES NOT handle billing, and all applicable inquiries must be made directly to SFS. The balance due (minus the amount of your deposit payment) will be due on the date specified on your bill.* If you received a financial aid award, this amount will be deducted from your balance before your bill is generated. The university must receive the full amount due on or before the bill’s due date. If full payment is not received by the due date, a late penalty of 1.5% of the amount past due will be assessed, and your enrollment in the program will be jeopardized.
*For priority applicants, bills will typically be available at the beginning of May and will be due at the end of May. For non-priority applicants, your bill will be disbursed at the end of May or June and will be due at the end of June or July (depending on the date you were enrolled in the program).*
Please note that students should plan to have access to funds for any personal spending (toiletries, snacks, souvenirs, etc).
International students should also plan to accommodate additional fees such as visa application, SEVIS, and shipping fees.
WITHDRAWING FROM ESAP:
If you need to withdraw from the program after submitting your deposit payment, you will receive a refund in accordance with the schedule below. Written requests must be sent via email. Students dismissed from the program for disciplinary reasons, or those that leave voluntarily, will not receive a refund.
NOTE: All requests for a refund must be made in writing, and properly dated. Refunds are given based on the date in which we receive your formal written request to withdraw from the program and receive a refund. If your bill has been generated, and your child withdraws AFTER any of the posted refund request dates, you are STILL responsible for the program balance (based on the table below). There are NO exceptions.

On or before June 2nd 100%, less $1000 deposit
June 3rd – June 9th 50%, less $1000 deposit
