STUDENT ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
All students
who register, by doing so, agree to the following
policies:
Course Registration
·
Students are responsible for planning an
academic program that meets current requirements,
including the required sequencing of classes.
·
Students are responsible for meeting with
their advisor before they register for classes to insure
that intended courses meet a program requirement or
elective.
·
Students are responsible for the actions
taken to register for courses, to drop courses, or add
courses. This includes actions taken by registering on
the web or in person at the Registrar’s Office.
Financial Aid
·
Students are responsible for notifying the
Office of Financial Aid when the enrollment credit hours
do not correspond to the enrollment status indicated on
the Financial Aid Award Notification.
·
Students dropping or withdrawing from
courses should notify the Office of Financial Aid to
determine if this action requires an adjustment to the
student's financial aid funding.
·
Students are responsible to reply to
requests for additional information in a timely
fashion. An incomplete financial aid file will result
in a delay of financial aid funding being processed and
applied to the student's business office account.
·
Students must have a completed Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file with
the Office of Financial Aid to be reviewed for financial
aid eligibility. Students who wish to be reviewed for
summer aid options must complete a Financial Aid Summer
Request form. These forms are available at the Office
of Financial Aid.
Billing Statements &
Payment Procedures

Billing statements and payment worksheets
will be mailed to the student’s legal/permanent address
maintained by the Registrar’s Office.
·
Students are expected to complete a
payment worksheet and return it to the Business Office
not less than one week prior to the start of the
academic term.
·
Payment of any balance not covered by
released financial aid at the start of the academic term
is due in the Business Office no later than one week
prior to the start of the academic term.
·
After this due date, students with a past
due balance will be assessed late payment fees.
Unpaid Past Student
Account Balances
·
Continuing unpaid past due balances are
subject to late payment fees and penalty or interest.
·
Students are responsible for any and all
collection costs and attorney fees associated with the
collection of unpaid balances. Student accounts will be
assessed a 25% collection fee on the unpaid account
balance prior to being turned over to a collection
agency.
