Course/Lab Fees
If it is determined that a course needs special technologies and/or equipment in order to run at an effective level, the department that the class resides in may assess a course/lab fee.
Residence Hall Accommodations
These fees are based on the room, occupancy, and meal plan that you select. See Housing Rates.
Fines and Penalties
Sometimes, over the course of the year, a student may incur some extra charges on his or her bill. These fees usually arise when a student registers late; when a student has outstanding parking tickets, room damages, or past-due library books; or due to other similar acts of dereliction.
Credits/Payments
Any credit to an account—whether it is through a check, grad support, wire transfer, credit card, or a dispersion of financial aid—shows up in the credit column on the student bill.
Financial Aid
Aid appearing on your bill is based on the number of credits on your current schedule. If your financial aid award letter contains aid not listed on this bill, you may need additional course credits to receive the full award package. If additional credits are added, get a revised billing statement online. If you are carrying a full course schedule and aid is not on your bill, contact the Financial Aid Office.
Memos
Memos on your billing statement reflect incomplete financial aid or payments from sources outside the University (e.g., tuition voucher or Vocational Rehabilitation). Until payment is received, memo amounts are not included in refund calculations.
Refunds of Overpayments and Financial Aid
Regulations require that students are refunded credit balances as a result of financial aid within 14 days of disbursement. Mass disbursement of financial aid to the student accounts is done on Wednesday of the first week of the semester. Refunds of tuition accounts with a credit balance as a result of Federal Direct Loan proceeds are initiated the following day, with the exception of accounts with credit card payments. Those credit card and Direct Loan refunds will be disbursed during the third week of the semester. Refunds as a result of overpayment, Alternative Loans or non-loan financial aid are initiated during the third week of the semester. Financial aid disbursed after Tuesday of the third week will be refunded as the credits appear on the student accounts. Future dated charges, such as rent, will be paid from the credit balance before the refund is created.
Refund checks are processed once a week. Direct deposits are processed daily and available in the recipient account two business days after appearing on the student account.
Refund checks will be mailed on Thursday for refunds initiated during the prior Thursday to Wednesday.
Refund checks processed during the third week of classes will be mailed on Wednesday.
It is the student's responsibility to maintain correct addresses. Mailing addresses (local address where refund checks will be sent) may be updated through Banweb (Student Information System).
A $10 fee may be assessed to the student's account if he or she requests a stop payment and reissue of a credit balance check within fifteen days from the date of issue. No fee will be assessed if the request comes fifteen days or later after the date of issue.
