Undergraduate tuition and the general fee for all schools must be approved by the Trustees. The Dean of each graduate/professional school and the Office of Budget and Management Analysis will agree on tuition to be assessed for each program or school.
The Office of Student Registration & Financial Services is responsible for the billing and collection of all student charges.
Tuition and fees will be assessed on a term basis. All charges will be billed on a monthly basis as incurred.
Student bills are produced electronically on a monthly basis. A hard copy bill may be produced in special circumstances, if requested.
All tuition, fees and other charges are due and payable on or before the due date(s) as established by Student Registration & Financial Services.
Deans and directors, or their designees, are responsible for authorizing annual adjustment to tuition and fees for programs within their respective schools. Adjustments are submitted via the Cost of Attendance workflow tool annually in March. Tuition Management and Student Account Systems staff administer the tool and request access for new users. Names of individuals authorized to submit tuition, fee or other expense information via the Cost of Attendance workflow tool will be maintained by the Office of Student Registration & Financial Services. All adjustments to tuition and fees are reviewed by Tuition Management and Student Account Systems staff and the Budget Office for adherence to cost increase guidelines.
Tuition and fees are calculated using Banner fee assessment rules. Schools/departments do not have access to adjust tuition and fee charges. Adjustments will be applied automatically as a result of changes to student enrollment.
The Office of Student Registration & Financial Services is responsible for imposing a late payment penalty on a past due student account unless an acceptable payment arrangement has been approved.
Any waiver of late payment penalties and/or service charges must be in accordance with guidelines established by the Office of Student Registration & Financial Services.
