How to Pay

General Guidelines

The university does not cash checks for students. Unpaid accounts will be billed on a semester basis and uncollected accounts may be sent to a collection agency. The university reserves the right to apply financial aid funds and any other payments to any and all charges. Refer to the semester schedule of classes for payment deadlines. Payments for tuition are not accepted between the last day to pay for advance registration and registration.

Fee Payment by Credit Card over the WEB

Credit cards (American Express, DiscoverCard, and MasterCard) may be used to pay for tuition and fees, housing and meal plans for students who participate in advanced registration, registration, or late registration. If a credit card is used to pay for these charges over the web, then a 2.75% convenience fee will be applied to the total amount being paid. (Visa is no longer a participant for the above fees). Call Bursar's office for further details. Expected date, 4/1/2009.

Returned Check Policy

The university expects the student to immediately respond to this notice and pay the check plus applicable services charges. (The same applies to webchecks issued.)
