Bills are mailed to students approximately 3 weeks prior to the beginning of any semester whether or not a balance due exists on their accounts. Billing statements will reflect the student's schedule, estimated financial aid and detailed transactions as of the billing date. Bills are mailed to a student's mailing address unless a specific billing address has been provided by the student. All students become liable for their tuition and fees upon registration regardless of any pending or forthcoming financial aid or sponsored tuition assistance. Students also become liable for their housing rent and other housing charges upon signing their lease contracts with University Housing whether or not they have actually moved into their residences.

Students who register on, or just prior, to the first day of the semester will not be mailed a bill. A bill may be presented to the student at the time he/she registers for class. However, tuition and fees are still due regardless of whether or not a bill is printed for the student. Students can access their account information for any semester by logging-on to the Student Services website. This is available nearly 24 hours a day. A $50.00 late payment fee will be charged to any account not paid in full by the first day of the semester. Schedules will then be canceled within 2 to 3 weeks of the beginning of the semester. For the summer semester sessions a late payment fee will not be charged but schedules will be canceled within one week of the beginning of the semester.

Bills will then be mailed throughout the semester on a monthly basis for student's who have incurred any other charges or adjustments after the semester begins. Payment is typically due 2-3 weeks after the bill date or the date specified on the bill. Accounts will be considered past due the day after the due date specified on the billing statement if a balance still exists. A hold will be placed on student's records preventing them from receiving transcripts, registration, or using certain on-campus services. If the balance due is from housing rent then the University Housing Office may charge a late payment fee and consider evicting residents from their suites or houses.
