Financial Registration Policy To enable the University to be responsible in meeting its financial responsibilities, students must make provision for the payment of their bill on the due dates established by the University each semester. A student’s registration for courses indicates a commitment to pay for related charges as stated in the University catalog. The following payment plan schedule was established to help students care for this responsibility: Fall 2010 Spring 2011 First Payment Due: August 4, 2010 January 4, 2011 Second Payment Due: September 1, 2010 February 1, 2011 Third Payment Due: October 1, 2010 March 1, 2011 Fourth Payment Due: November 1, 2010 April 1, 2011 A student is not considered financially registered until at least the first one-fourth payment has been received by the cashier’s office. Students who do not make financial arrangements for the first payment due on their university bill will not be permitted to attend the University. Failure to make subsequent payments could result in the loss of cafeteria and library privileges and the withholding of grades and online registration.
