Reminder Regarding Term Bills—All Students
Students who have registered for the fall semester are expected to confirm their attendance by the due date indicated on their term bill to avoid late charges, holds, and the loss of university services. Students who have financial aid that completely covers the balance due on their accounts should log in and click on the “Confirm Attendance” button on their term bill here. Students with a balance due can pay by electronic check or by credit card (with a convenience fee). Students who are planning to withdraw from classes for the semester should contact their Dean's office immediately for assistance.
