If your balance is not paid by the deadline, a $250 late fee will be assessed, your classes will be dropped and you will not be eligible to move into your residence hall. You will be permitted to register for classes and move into your residence hall once your balance is resolved.

On the Self-Service Student Checklist, if the "Student Account Balance Due" item has a "received" status as of the billing due date, your classes will not be dropped.

If your health insurance waiver is not approved by the billing deadline, then the balance must be paid in full and you will be reimbursed for the health insurance payment once the waiver is approved. If you enroll in a payment plan, your payment plan balance will be adjusted after the waiver is approved. The health insurance waiver is currently available and must be completed by September 20, 2024. For more information about the student health insurance plan, click here.

For student loans to be reflected on your billing statement, you must complete the applicable loan documents. To review and complete outstanding loan documents, please visit the Self-Service Student Checklist 

A negative number means the financial aid and payments on your account exceed the billing on your account creating a credit balance. Eligible credit balances will be refunded to students within 14 days from the start of the semester.  

May and Summer term classes will be billed on April 1, apart from May term study away courses. May term student away courses will be billed with Spring 2025 and should be reflected on your Spring statement within 1-2 weeks of adding your May term study away course.
