  Employer-Paid Tuition

  Third-Party Billing — The University bills employers directly for the costs their employees incur. Contact the Human Resource or Personnel department at your place of employment to find out if your company offers this benefit. If so, the student must submit documentation prior to each term to the Student Accounting Office that clearly indicates who is to be billed for the tuition and fees. Employer vouchers should be submitted before the first day of the term. Please include your student ID number and submit voucher or questions to studentaccounts@udmercy.edu.

  Tuition Reimbursement — The University will allow students to register without a down payment if their employers offer tuition reimbursement benefits.

  To take advantage of this plan, prior to the beginning of each term the student must furnish a letter on the company's letterhead stating that the student is employed by the company and that the company will reimburse the tuition and fees incurred for that student. Payment is deferred up to 60 days after the end of the term. Students in the program cannot register owing more than one past term. Your letter can be faxed to 313-993-1414, Attn: C. Fletcher or scanned and emailed to fletchec@udmercy.edu. Please include your student ID number on the letter.

  Michigan Trade Exchange

  The University will accept Michigan Trade Exchange Dollars for tuition payment however, note that:

  • Payment is limited to one semester at a time
  • Trade Dollars are accepted for up to full time undergraduate tuition only
  • Select programs at capacity will be exempted from Trade Dollar participation
  • Residence Halls and meal plans are exempted from Trade Dollar participation

  To use Michigan Trade Exchange Dollars you must contact Lauri Landry at 313-993-1421 or landryll@udmercy.edu.
