The billing system allows you the option of paying the full balance on your first billing statement or making installment payments. Installment billings are produced three times each semester. There will be a $35.00 rebilling fee assessed to your account for each installment billing. If your payment arrives after the due date, you will be assessed a $20.00 late payment fee and a $35.00 rebilling fee.
The minimum due is a percentage of your balance. If you plan to pay in installments, wait for your billing statement to determine the minimum amount you need to pay.
Please note: There is no installment payment option in the summer due to the shortened term.

Most grants, scholarships and loans are applied directly to your account by the financial aid office. Graduate assistance benefits are also applied directly to your account. If your financial aid or graduate assistance benefits pay your bill in full and there is money remaining on your account, you are entitled to a refund.
If your account reflects a credit balance due to the payment of financial aid, a refund check will be mailed to your current address about two days following the payment of financial aid.
Direct deposit is a free service that provides direct deposit of refunds into your bank account. Direct deposit is the quickest and safest way to receive your refunds. You can learn more about direct deposit and sign up for direct deposit on the web at Direct Deposit.
In addition to installment fee and late payment fees, a hold will be placed on your academic record. This hold must be cleared before you will be allowed to register, obtain a transcript, a diploma or have your degree posted to your transcript. If a past due account is paid with a personal check or e-payment, there will be a 15 business day waiting period, before transcripts or diplomas will be released, degrees posted or registration allowed. Past due accounts may be subject to handling charges and collection procedures. Collection can include court action and referral to outside collection agencies. You are responsible for any and all costs necessary for the collection of any amount not paid when due.
Once you have officially registered for classes, you are responsible for all charges on your account. You must officially withdraw from the University if you have registered for classes. You are not automatically withdrawn even if you do not attend classes. You must withdraw before the end of the first week of the term to get a 100% credit to your tuition charges.
