Fee Payment

All registration fees, housing fees, course or laboratory fees, meal charges, student health service charges, and other assessments, fees and charges are due and payable in accordance with the statements rendered by the appropriate university office.

Registration, meal plan, housing fees and other student charges must be paid on the date a student registers or on other dates as specified by the Office of Billings and Receivables. Students who do not make payment of required fees are not registered students. Payment of fees will not be deferred.

The University expects the students to be financially responsible and not be delinquent in financial obligations to the University or to any department or division of the University. A student who fails to meet a financial obligation within 10 days after the date of notice from the appropriate university official will be subject to regulations promulgated by the University. If the student does not settle the obligation by the date designated on the notice, the appropriate business office shall notify the Registrar. After the Registrar has been notified that a student is delinquent, the Registrar shall not allow the student to register or to obtain an official transcript until the Registrar has been notified that the obligation has been settled.

The University expects all students to register for classes and pay tuition prior to the first day of class. Class schedules may be canceled for students who fail to pay or make arrangements to pay by the due date on the statement rendered by the University.  A late payment fee of $100 may be assessed for failure to pay by the designated due dates. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the student of the obligation to pay tuition and fees by the due date. The university no longer creates and mails paper billing statements. All billing is electronic with students receiving notifications through their university-assigned email addresses. As an added service, students can also select a billing email address so they can have their account statements sent to an additional email address.

In the event that any tuition, fees and/or other expenses are not paid when due, and the University undertakes collection of any unpaid portion, the student shall also be assessed and be responsible for any collection costs incurred by the University. Delinquent accounts receivable are placed with a collection agency and collection costs will be added, increasing the amount owed. Accounts will also be reported to the National Credit Bureaus.
 

Important Note for Billing and Payment Procedures:

Students are expected to pay their fees in full according to the Fee Payment Schedule and Payment Procedures listed in the schedule bulletin.  Failure to pay fees by the appropriate due date will result in cancellation of classes.

Approved scholarships, including non-resident graduate scholarships and alumni grants, will be applied to students' accounts prior to the billing statement.  Approved financial aid (Pell, CAP, SEOG, Perkins, Stafford, PLUS) will be reflected on the billing statement.  All students, including financial aid recipients, are required to submit any balance due payments by the deadline based upon their registration dates.  Refer to the chart below to determine applicable tuition due dates based upon registration dates.
