Billing, Payment & Financial Aid

Parents: To view a statement, make payment or enroll in a payment plan, you must be authorized by the student to view their financial account. A student can authorize you as a user by logging in to Arcadia Portal, selecting the "Fees & Payments" tab, clicking the "Make a Payment" button, and sending you an "Authorized Payer Invitation."

If you have a Login ID and password, you can access student accounts by logging into CASHNet.

Study Abroad Payment Deposit

A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to secure your place in your program. Upon acceptance into your program, log into the Arcadia Application Portal and select the "Fees & Payments" tab, click the "Make a Payment" button, then "Pay My Deposit" to pay this deposit, or mail a check. Checks must contain your student ID number and should be mailed to:

ARCADIA – TCGS OPERATING
PO BOX 830630
PHILADELPHIA PA 19182-0630

Some schools prefer to pay this deposit on behalf of their students. The "Fees & Payments" tab on the Arcadia Abroad Portal will inform you if you should pay your deposit directly to Arcadia Abroad.

Payment Information

To make a payment online using your credit card or bank account information, log into the Arcadia Application Portal click the "Fees & Payments" tab, and click "Make a Payment" to view your Payment Portal. There are tabs on the left to view your statement and investigate payment plan options. Here you can make payments toward your balance, view statements, arrange a payment plan (if available) and authorize other users (e.g., your parents) to access your financial account.

Using Veteran’s Benefits at Arcadia University as a TCGS Student

Here are the steps to take to enable Arcadia to process Veterans’ benefits on your behalf.
Confirm through your liaison that your abroad program meets the requirements for the use of VA Benefits.

1. Contact your home school Veteran Certifying Official and obtain a Primary School Letter. Make sure your name is reflected on the letter and upload it here.
2. Obtain a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility from the VA and upload a PDF here.
3. Complete the following forms for Arcadia:
   • Abroad term schedule confirmation
   • Request to Process Benefits

You can expect Arcadia to process your enrollment with the VA no earlier than 30 days before the start of your abroad program. We will process your tuition and fees no earlier than 30 days after the abroad program starts.

If you have questions about your benefits, you can email one of Arcadia’s School Certifying Officials, Holly Kirkpatrick, kirkpath@arcadia.edu or Lisa Ware, warel@arcadia.edu. Due to Arcadia’s FERPA policy, we are not able to speak with anyone other than the student.
