Before the start of the school year, the semester billing will be completed. Fall is billed on July 1, and Spring will be done on December 1. Students will receive an email notification when their bill is ready to view. Each student will be automatically enrolled in a payment plan per semester with an enrollment fee of $75.

Any miscellaneous charges incurred by the student are billed every month and due at the end of the month.
Student Proxy Guide
You’re in control of who can see your information. Through Self‑Service, you can give a parent or another trusted person access to specific details by setting them up as a proxy. Just follow the steps provided at the link button, and once added, they’ll only be able to view the information you choose to share.
If someone contacts us with billing questions—like your balance or other account details—we can only release that information if they are listed as your proxy or if we have a FERPA form on file with the Records Office. This helps us protect your privacy while making sure the people you trust can stay informed and support you.
Authorization to Release Financial Information
To comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a student who wishes to permit a parent, spouse, or other third party access to his/her financial records must complete an Authorization to Release Financial Information (PDF) and submit it to the Student Accounts Office.
Authorization to Release Financial Information
