University Billing

Student Accounts is the centralized billing and collection point for student payments. Tuition, fees, and on-campus housing and dining for the fall session are billed in July, winter session and spring session in December and summer session in May.

Payment Due dates

• Fall bill is due in August
• Winter bill is due in December
• Spring bill is due in January
• Summer bill is due in May

Your university bill must be paid by the due date, regardless of delays, reductions, or cancellation of financial aid. Information regarding payment options is available through the office of Student Accounts and can be found on our Tuition and Fees page.

Students who do not pay the balance by the due date may be assessed a late payment fee and will have a financial hold placed on their account, which will restrict University services, such as future semester registration, viewing of grades, participation in Commencement and receipt of university credentials (Diploma, Transcript, Certificates etc.).

For students who register after the University billing date, payment is due immediately upon registration.
