Paying Your Bill - Current Students

There are several options available for making payments on your account. All bills are paid through myLipscomb.

Lipscomb University uses the TouchNet system to manage student accounts, which can be accessed through myLipscomb. Once you’re enrolled and ready to make a payment, you may do so or sign up for a payment plan using TouchNet. Contact the Business Office for assistance with paying your bill.

If you do not complete payment, you are at risk of having your schedule dropped. There are deadlines each semester by which you must have either paid in full or set up a payment plan:

  • Summer: May 1
  • Fall: August 1
  • Spring: December 1
