Net Price Calculator

Use our Net Price Calculator to estimate your cost of attendance at the University of Lynchburg after scholarships and financial aid. Get a comprehensive estimate of your academic scholarships and need-based aid based on your financial situation in three to five minutes.

Your student bill includes tuition, fees, housing, meals, and other charges, such as parking permits or card charges. 

Your bill is available monthly in MyHive by the 25th and due on the 12th. You’ll receive an email when your bill is available to view online.

If you cannot pay your bill by the due date, a $75 late fee for undergraduate students and a $50 late fee for graduate students. A past-due balance hold is assessed. Past-due balance holds may prevent some University services, including enrolling in courses for future semesters. LynchburgExpress charging privileges may also be on hold until the account is current. The account must be brought up to have this hold removed.

You can access your student bill from anywhere, anytime. All consolidated bill statements are available through MyHive.
