Paying for Tuition and Fees

Tuition and Other Fees

Paying Fees with Financial Aid– As long as the amount of your anticipated aid exceeds the amount you owe in tuition and fees, you do not need to make fee payment by the Fee Payment Deadline defined below. If your anticipated financial aid award is NOT large enough to pay for all of your tuition and fees for a semester, you will be required to pay any amount not covered with your financial aid award by the fee payment deadline. Example:

1. Tuition and fees owed = $6,000
2. Financial Aid Award = -$5,000
3. Amount owed by Fee Payment Deadline = $1,000

In the example above, the financial aid award does not cover the total charges on a student’s account. Therefore, the student owes the difference ($1,000) between tuition and fees ($6,000) and the financial aid award ($5,000).
