Tuition and Fees: Frequently Asked Questions

What will happen if I can’t pay my fees on time?

What happens if I pay for my fees and then get a student loan remitted?If this happens, then any overpayment will be refunded to you.

I see that I have a credit on my account. How long will it take to get my refund?Assuming that the credit does not get applied towards additional fees (for example if you add another course), your refund will take 4 to 6 weeks to process.

I paid my fees through my bank but the payment does not show on my account. It can take up to 5 days for a payment made via a bank to show on your student account.

How do I get a receipt?When you pay online through your student portal, no receipt is generated. Instead, the balance shown on your online account will change to reflect any payments that you make. If you require a receipt, please choose an alternate method of payment. If you are paying in person it is best to come early as lineups can get very long just prior to the fee payment deadline.

How do I get my Health and Dental fees waived?Please see “Health and Dental Plan” on page 35 for information on the Health and Dental plan, including how to opt out.

Failure to pay your fees on time will result in your account being sent to collections!

If there is a chance that you will not be able to pay your fees on time, make alternate arrangements as early as possible! See “Paying Your Fees” on page 25 for more information on setting up a payment plan, and check out the “Fee Payment Methods” section for other payment options.
