Corban partners with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to provide a payment plan option. Simply call 1-800-722-4867 and a TMS counselor will assist you in setting up a budget to pay during the school year. Or, you can visit TMS online at www.afford.com/corban to set up a budget on your own. Either way, we strongly recommend that you keep all documentation used to determine your budget amount.
When you register for a class, you agree to pay for it, and you will be responsible for all charges and any grade you receive, whether or not you attend. You are responsible for full payment of all charges on your account, even if another party is paying. Delinquent accounts (any account not paid by the close of registration, and/or an account without a specific, approved payment plan) will be assessed a monthly finance charge of 1% on the unpaid balance.
To have charges removed, you must drop the class or classes by the deadline (Close of Registration). You will not be dropped from your classes for non-payment. If you are under 18 years of age, you will be held liable for any charges on your account under ORS 348.105.
By registering for classes at Corban University you agree that tuition, fees and other applicable charges incurred will be considered an educational loan between you and Corban University and that is non-dischargeable under Section 523(a), (8) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. You are further agreeing that if you fail to make any payments as prescribed, your account may be submitted to a collection agency and applicable collections charges may be added to your account balance due. In case legal action is instituted to collect on your account, you are agreeing to pay, in addition to the costs and disbursements provided by law, such additional sums as a court of law may determine as reasonable for attorney’s fees and court cost. Oregon State law applies to any dispute over payment.
We accept payments in U.S. funds only. Cash payments may be made at the Business Office from 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
We accept personal checks, traveler’s checks, cashier checks and money orders for tuition and fee payments. Checks should be made payable to Corban University. Please list the account name or ID# in the memo line of your check. Your check may be presented in person at the Business Office, or mailed to the Business Office, 5000 Deer Park Dr SE, Salem, OR 97317.
Electronic Check Payments
Provide banks ABA/Routing number and your account number. Pay online at http://sis.corban.edu. You will need your user name and pin. Please post those payments by the 15th of the month to avoid a finance charge.
We accept MasterCard, Discover and American Express (a 2 ½% convenience fee applies to offset charges from the credit card companies). Pay online at http://sis.corban.edu. You will need your user name and pin. Please post those payments by the 15th of the month to avoid a finance charge.
Please note the refund policy/procedure in the University’s Catalog. When you register for a class, you agree to pay for it whether or not you attend. If the University cancels a class, you will get a full refund of any charges made or of any payment received.
When a credit is created by your financial aid, you will get a PDF advising you of your choice of response. All e-mail is routed through your Corban e-mail account. You may either request a check to your home or campus box; leave the money on your account; or you may request that the excess be returned to your loan provider. We ask for a return e-mail both as a reminder and as documentation. Refund checks are not issued for amounts under $50.00. You may stop by the Business Office for a cash refund.
To receive a refund for an individual class it must be dropped by the published close of registration. A refund will be processed if you have no outstanding account balance. If you are taking classes in Graduate Programs, Corban Accelerated Online (CAO) and Adult Degree Programs, you will need to consult your program bulletin for refund dates (typically one week after the start of the semester).
Due to the increase in activity during the registration period, and the multiple changes in schedules, undergrad checks will not be written until the week following the published close of registration and thereafter. Checks are written on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you request (remember, it is when this office receives the request between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.) a check on Tuesday, it will be written and sent to you the following Thursday. If you request a check on Thursday, it will be written and sent to you the following Tuesday. The saying, “Lack of planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on our part”, is never more true — please plan carefully.
This office will cash refund checks (or other checks) up to and including $50.00.
Registration for succeeding semesters, transcripts, and diplomas are some of the services you may be denied if you fail to pay your obligation.
