Graduate students are a vital part of the Messiah community and we are here to help you to achieve your educational and personal goals. We realize that you already have a busy life and are likely balancing your graduate education with a career, community involvement, family responsibilities and other commitments. During your time at Messiah University, our goal is to assist you in meeting your educational goals through a variety of student services.

Regarding the Student Financial Responsibility Agreement, each semester, graduate students are required to complete a "Financial Responsibility Agreement" before registering for courses. By signing the Agreement, each student is acknowledging they are fully responsible for paying their educational cost while enrolled at Messiah each semester. When registration opens each semester, there will be an FRA hold automatically applied to a student's record. Students can easily remove their "FRA hold" themselves by signing their Financial Responsibility Agreement through Falcon Link.
Regarding billing for courses: Tuition is due before the start of courses. Invoices are communicated via email (student’s Messiah email). For classes that have rolling admissions, the invoices are generated within two weeks. For cohort models, the invoices are generated typically in July (for the fall), November (for the spring), and April (for the summer).
Through Messiah's partnership with Slingshot, you are automatically enrolled to receive your required textbooks and course materials delivered to your home, or available for on-campus pick-up.
Visit the Campus Store website or check out this Navigating Slingshot video with instructions on how to access/modify your preferences.
