Find answers to common questions about student accounts (statements, bills, tuition, payments, fees), financial aid and registration.<\/p>\n
<\/a>When Will I Get My Statement\/Bill?<\/strong><\/p>\n Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ no longer mails paper bills or statements. All statements are posted and available for viewing on NEST<\/a>. Statements will be posted on NEST by the end of July for the fall semester, by mid-November for Winter and Spring semester and by the beginning of April for the Summer sessions. These statements will be updated at the end of each day to reflect any changes to your tuition and fee charges as a result of modifications you may make to your schedule. You should check your NEST Account Summary the day after you make any change to your schedule. If someone other than yourself will be making payment, please inform that person of the balance due and the payment due date. The payment due date and all payment options are listed on the Payment Deadlines<\/a>\u00a0web page.<\/p>\n <\/a>Where Can I Find the Tuition and Fee Cost Chart?<\/strong><\/p>\n A tuition and fee chart can be found on the Tuition and Fees web page<\/a>. This chart is updated each academic year. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Board of Trustees (BOT) approves our rates by the third week of July. New charts are posted on our web site within a day or two of the BOT approval.<\/p>\n Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ reserves the right to change tuition and fees every academic year.<\/p>\n Please Note:<\/strong> Students are billed on a semester basis.<\/p>\n <\/a>What Happens If I Do Not Review My Bill Using NEST? <\/strong><\/p>\n Once you have registered for classes, you are responsible for all charges associated with that semester. A late charge will be assessed if full payment is not made as indicated online.<\/p>\n Please refer to the Bills and Payment<\/a> page or contact us for further billing information and\/or procedures.<\/p>\n If the student’s financial commitment to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ becomes delinquent at any time, Student Accounts will send the student notification via their Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ email. If an account becomes past due, an invoice or postcard may be sent to the address on file. The student is obligated to update any address Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ has on record. Financial obligations include but are not limited to tuition, room, board, course fees, parking fines, library fines, residence hall fines and any special fees or fines charged to a student’s account. If the account remains unresolved, it will be referred to a collection agency for collection and it may also be sent to credit bureaus for reporting purposes. Once an account is placed in collection the student will be liable for all collection and\/or attorney’s fees (20% to 40% of the amount placed in collection).<\/p>\n <\/a>How Can I Get a Copy of My Bill and When Is Payment Due?<\/strong><\/p>\n You can print a copy of your Account Summary\/bill by accessing your NEST<\/a> <\/strong>account. You will be able to view your current semester bill on your NEST account plus all previous semesters. Payment is due by the due date as shown on NEST. Remember, if you do not acknowledge a bill, you are still responsible for payment by the due date and a late charge will be assessed if full payment is not made. All students that register for classes will have a bill available on NEST.<\/p>\n
