Using Your Aid to Pay Charges

Registration fees

Financial aid recipients are required to pay the difference between all University charges (including registration fees, on-campus housing and board plan) and anticipated financial aid. Payment is due by the Registration Fee Payment Deadline:

July 30, 2009 for Fall Semester 2009
December 10, 2009 for Spring Semester 2010

If your anticipated financial aid for the semester is sufficient to cover your fees and charges, the balance due will automatically be deducted from your disbursement. All remaining aid, after charges and fees are deducted, will be disbursed to you via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) or a check that is mailed to you.

You will be charged a $25 late fee if your fees and charges are not paid by the Registration Fee Payment Deadline. Additional late fees may be charged and holds may be placed during the semester if fees and charges remain unpaid.

On-Campus Housing Payments

If you will live in a residence hall, your outstanding University Housing charges will be deducted from your financial aid. Check your License Agreement for payment deadlines. Your University Charges will include amounts due according to your license fee schedule. If your financial aid is sufficient to cover these charges, it will be held for automatic payment to University Housing according to schedule. Financial aid recipients whose aid does not cover all charges must pay the difference by the posted dates. Students may check for outstanding charges by accessing the Finances section of their Student Center through their Portal Login.
