FAQs for eBills

You can pay your balance in full or you can elect to participate in the payment plan option.

You are eligible to participate in the payment plan if you do not have an active financial hold and the total amount due on your statement is $500 or more. If you are eligible, you may elect to participate in the payment plan option by paying the payment plan due amount on your statement.

There is a service fee if you are participating in the payment plan option. The number of installments is already assigned for your plan, and used in calculating your payment plan due amount. Please refer to your eBill statement for details.

Third Party (Sponsored) Billings

When you have a non-University sponsor who is paying part or all of your term charges, you can have your sponsor billed directly by the University. You must bring or mail your current statement to the Enrollment Services on or before the due date. If a current authorization letter from your sponsor detailing the terms of the sponsorship is not already on file, you must bring or mail one in with your statement. Any charges not paid by the sponsor are your responsibility.

Late Payments

Due dates are clearly designated on statements, and are always the 17th of the month. If you fail to pay your statement or the designated Payment Plan amount by the due date, you will be charged a late payment fee, unless you have a valid deferral.

You may be charged up to three late payment fees of $50.00 per late fee, per term. Late payment fees are automatically charged to your account the day after each billing due date. If the due date falls on a weekend or an official University holiday, we will honor your payment without a late charge if it is postmarked by the due date or received on the next business day.

Returned Check Handling Fee

A returned check-handling fee of $15.00 will be charged for all checks returned from the bank for any reason.

Financial Holds

A financial hold will be placed on your account thirty days after the due date on a statement, if your account remains unpaid, you are not participating in the Payment Plan, or you do not have a valid deferral.

A financial hold will prevent you from receiving or having access to your academic records, transcripts, diplomas or certification of enrollment services, and will deny future registrations. When you have paid your account in full, your financial hold will be automatically released.
