(For example: Short-term Loan, On-Campus Housing Payments,..etc)
If your financial aid is not sufficient to cover your registration fees and/or other financial obligations, you will have to pay the balance owed at the Bursar's Office by the fee payment deadline (see the Class Schedule). Payments received after the deadline will be assessed a late payment fee.
Account Statement and Balance Check or Direct Deposit
You will be mailed an "Account Statement" with descriptions of financial aid credits, outstanding University charges, and/or remittance advice (the amount you owe). If you have remaining financial aid funds for the semester, you also will be mailed a Balance Check. If you pay all of your University obligations, including registration fees, in advance by personal check or credit card, your financial aid award in full will be mailed to you. It is important for you to keep your mailing address current. All financial aid checks are mailed to the address on file with the Registrar's Office; checks are not picked up on-campus. You may change your address online. Students who have requested Direct Deposit will receive the Account Statement via e-mail. Financial Aid funds will be directly deposited into the students's bank account.
