Tuition & Fee Payment Policy

Each term tuition notices will be sent to your student campus email address with links to your on-line student account.  Failure to receive an official university tuition and fee bill/e-notification does not relieve any student of responsibility for payment by the due dates.  Account balances can be verified by accessing "Account Summary by Term" on the University Web site. Tuition and fee rates are subject to change by the Regents of the University. Tuition and fees assessed are payable in full by the established deadline for each term.  Payments are payable on-line or at the Cashiers/Student Accounts Office (located in Room 1187 UC)
