Tuition and Fees - Fall 2008

What's New for Fall 2008?

 

Online Bills

An online Statement of Account is available on your PAWS account.  You will no longer receive a paper Invoice/Schedule of Classes in the mail.  Beginning August 2008, you will no longer receive a monthly billing statement in the mail. 

To view your statement, navigate to the Finance Section on your Student Center page on PAWS.  Click the link View Billing Statement to display your statement in PDF format.  You may need to temporarily allow pop ups in order for the statement to appear.  Also, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or higher is needed.  A link for a free download of Adobe Acrobat will display after clicking on View Billing Statement.  You can print this statement or save it as a file on your PC.  If you plan to mail a payment to the University, you must print the statement and include the payment coupon from the statement with your payment.

Your online Statement of Account will be produced "on demand" and will always contain the most current information available. 

 

University Housing and Meal Plan Charges in PAWS

You will no longer receive separate billing statements from University Housing for your room or meal plan charges.  These charges will appear in PAWS beginning with your fall 2008 charges.

Your room and meal plan charges will each have two separate charges with two different due dates.  One room and one meal plan charge will be due August 1st.  The remaining balance for each of these charges will have a due date of August 25th (the same day your tuition & fees are due).

You will be able to pay these charges the same as you've paid other charges in PAWS by using online webCheck or credit cards, mailing check payments, or paying in person at the Cashier's Office. If you are receiving financial aid, your aid will automatically apply to your housing and meal plan charges if you have sufficient aid to cover these charges in addition to tuition.

 

New Installment Payment Plan

Tuition & fees (excluding Study Abroad and Executive MBA fees), room, and meal plan charges will be eligible for the new Installment Payment Plan.  You must still pay at least $200 toward tuition plus all charges on your account with a due date prior to August 25th to avoid cancellation (See Fee Facts for Fall 2008 for additional information on cancellation). 

On August 28th all unpaid tuition & fees, room, and meal plan charges will be placed on the Installment Payment Plan.  An Installment Payment Plan Credit will apply to your unpaid tuition & fees, room, and meal plan charges on PAWS account making it appear as though these have been paid in full.  Two charges will appear on your account for Tuition & Housing Installment that will be equal to the unpaid tuition & fees, room, and meal plan charges transferred to the Installment Payment Plan.  Each installment charge will have a due date of when payment must be received (early October and early November). 

The Installment Payment Plan charges will automatically adjust during the first two weeks of class if you add/drop classes or change any of your room or meal plan charges. 

A one-time Installment Payment Plan Administrative Fee equal to 1% of the balance due on your Installment Payment Plan will be added to your account on September 16th.  This one-time charge is being added after the published add/drop date for changing classes and will not adjust if your charges on the Installment Payment Plan change.  If you have anticipated financial aid appearing on your account that has not been disbursed, the amount of this aid will be taken into consideration when assessing the 1% fee.

If you pay each installment charge by the due date listed on each charge, you will not be assessed any finance charges for these charges.  If payment is not made by the due dates, you could be assessed a 1% finance charge for the amount that is past due.

Note:  Monthly Kenilworth rent charges, Study Abroad fees, and Executive MBA fees are not eligible to be paid on the Installment Payment Plan.

 

New University Credit Agreement

All students will be required to sign a new University Credit Agreement, even if you've completed this form in the past.  Because of the changes in the terms for the Installment Payment Plan, this form has been revised and the new form must be completed and sent to the Bursar's Office.
