This option allows students to "opt-out" of receiving a paper bill (detailed enrollment instructions are available). Billing statements are generated to all registered students beginning July 15th for the fall semesters and December 15th for the spring semesters. Subsequent statements are available on the 15th of each month until the student’s account balance is zero. Late fees of $50.00 per month are assessed on any unpaid balances.
- Students can always check their student account status and financial aid eligibility by using the SOLAR System.
- What happens if I do not pay the full amount due by the due date? Will I be charged a late fee?

Incremental late payment fees, up to $200.00 per semester, will be assessed on all accounts not completely paid by the due dates indicated on each successive account statement.
- Do you have any payment plans?

To be eligible for financial review only the following criteria will be accepted.

- Students may have credit balances on their accounts as a result of a tuition, fee, room, apartment, meal plan or bookstore adjustment, or as a result of an overpayment of the amount due.

The student must submit in writing and send to:
