[1] General Information
The university is supported chiefly by state appropriations and student fees. The goal of the university is to offer the best possible educational opportunities and services at the lowest possible costs. It is the responsibility of a registered student to comply with the University’s withdrawal policy if they do not plan to attend. Collection fees for outstanding debts owed to the university may be assessed to the student. The university reserves the right to amend or add to the regulations of the institution, including those concerning fees and methods of payment, and to make such changes applicable to students enrolled in the university, as well as to new students.
[2] General Registration and Other Mandatory Fees
General registration and other mandatory fees are based on the number of hours in which a student is enrolled. Current fee schedules, payment due dates, payment options, and other valuable information can be obtained in the Student Accounts Office, Bernard Hall, Suite 110, or from the Student Accounts web site.
[3] Financial Adjustments for Schedule Changes and Withdrawals
