Financial Obligations

Tuition and fees, minus monies known to be released from financial aid sources, are due the first week of the term, unless other arrangements have been made with the Business Office. Payment/installment plans may be granted with the last payment due approximately three weeks prior to the end of the term. Payment plans will not be set up automatically – they require the approval of the Business Office. Students who have an outstanding balance from a previous term will have a “hold” placed on his/her ability to obtain transcripts or enroll for courses. Students with a balance of $100 or less, originating from the current term, may enroll for the upcoming term. Official transcripts will not be released until all financial obligations are paid in full. No College office or advisor can relieve students of financial responsibility.

If after registration a course is added or dropped, the financial obligations are re-calculated. Students must meet with their Academic and Student Support Advisor to add or drop courses. Students should consult with the Financial Aid Office prior to submitting a “drop/add” to ensure tuition coverage remains. Depending upon when a course was dropped a refund may be possible in accordance with the posted Academic Calendar.

Student account activity can be viewed online in Self Service Banner, which is accessible through GUSConnect. The account will show all charges and credits as well as the current balance. A “Monthly Reminder” e-mail is sent by the Business Office each month to students with a balance due or a credit balance. Questions regarding charges or financial credits should be directed to the Business Office.
