                        preference to have access to their refund.

Fees/Tuition

 

Q         How can I avoid being assessed late fees?

 

            A         You can avoid late fees by paying in full by the tuition due date.

                         Tuition and fees are due by a specified date each semester. If payment is

                         made after the due date, a late fee of $5.00 per credit (maximum of    

                         $60.00) for a fulltime student is assessed.  The same rule applies to a           

                         Student receiving Financial Aid, all fees not covered by Financial Aid

                         are due by the specified due date. Likewise, if a student files for

                         financial aid after March 15th and the student hasn’t been awarded

                         or received their funds by the tuition due date, the student may be

                         subject to late fees.

            A         Segregated fees are fees included in enrollment costs to fund university

facilities and services for students.

                         Permit. The cost of an annual commuter parking permit is $95.00 or a

                         through the Residence Life housing office when you sign your

                         housing contract. 

 

Bookstore

 

Q         Can I charge my books to my tuition account?

 

            A         Books can only be charged if you have received a book voucher from

                        the Financial Aid Office.  As a general rule if your financial aid funds

                        have posted and/or been refunded, you wouldn’t be eligible for a book

                        voucher.  You may contact the Financial Aid office for additional               

                        information regarding special circumstances.
