Payment Deadlines

It is crucial to follow up on all expected payment sources and ensure the funds have been applied to your account to secure your course selections. This includes student financial aid, outside scholarships, payment plans, and third-party payments. Please note that payment is due upon registration unless otherwise noted.

If you register for classes, you are responsible for all charges. Failure to pay, failure to officially drop by the refund deadline, or failure to attend will not relieve you of the responsibility for these charges. Non-attendance or failure to pay does not constitute an official withdrawal.

In order to avoid financial responsibility, you must officially drop your classes by the refund deadline if you decide not to attend. Do not assume you will be automatically dropped.

Attention Financial Aid Students:

  • Submitting your FAFSA is the first step of the student financial aid process. If you have not already done so, please visit StudentAid.gov to submit your 2024-2025 FAFSA application for the fall 2024 and spring 2025 semesters.
  • If you have already submitted your FAFSA, please log in to Owl Link to view your application status. You may be required to provide additional documentation before your award is finalized. If all required documents have been submitted, please note that financial aid awards will be added to Student Self-Service (accessed through Owl Link) by June 1 for continuing students and April 9 for new students. Afterward, new awards are added weekly after all required documents are submitted and processed.
  • Your award may include a student loan. If you are enrolled in at least six (6) credits, the loan offer must be "Accepted" in Owl Link. Please visit StudentAid.gov, where you can complete Entrance Loan Counseling and your Master Promissory Note. Since these steps may take several days to process, we recommend considering our deferred payment plan mentioned above to secure your courses.
