Payment Deadlines:
Pre-registered students: All charges for the semester are due and payable by the deadline date indicated in the catalog (approximately 7-10 days prior to classes beginning) with a completed Student Account Information Form (form). If payment and form are not received in the Business Office by the appropriate date, the pre-registration will be revoked and the student will need to register during the regular registration period.
All other students: All charges for the semester are due and payable at registration.
Every student must complete the Student Account Information Form each semester. The Business Office accepts payments made with cash, check, or credit card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express are accepted). Payment is also accepted online with check or credit card ETBU Online Payment.
Payment Options:
1) Payment in Full. The complete balance (Estimated Balance) is due by the deadline date or the day the student registers during regular registration. Any changes to a student account that increase the 'Estimated Balance' (i.e. increase semester hours, or change housing or meal plan) should be paid within 10 days of the change. If the additional charges are not paid within the allotted time, the student may be subjected to the payment plan fee and late payment fees.
2) Deferred payment option. Eligible students (students who have made their payments in a timely manner in the past, and have not been in delinquent status, international students are not eligible) have the option of a deferred payment plan for fall and spring semesters. The deferred payment option requires payment of one-third of the 'Estimated Balance' by the deadline date or the day the student registers during regular registration. The remaining balance is payable in two equal installments later in the semester. A $30 administration fee will be assessed to the student account when utilizing the payment plan. Any changes to a student account that increase the 'Estimated Balance' (i.e. increase semester hours, or change housing or meal plan) can be paid at any time and will be billed on the subsequent billing cycle.
After students have completed the Student Account Information Form and made payment, they can check to see if they have 'cleared' by logging on to CampusConnect and clicking on Demographic Information. A 'Y' in the 'Cleared' field means that the Business Office has received the necessary forms and payment. If the field is blank, the Business Office has not received all required items. The student should contact the Business Office if the student has questions regarding their 'Cleared' status.
All accounts must be paid in full before a student will receive a diploma or a transcript, or be permitted to register for subsequent semester(s). In the event it becomes necessary to place a student account in the hands of an agency for collection, the student will be responsible for all collection costs, including legal fees. If there are any questions regarding financial arrangements, please call the Business Office. Receipts will be required for resolution of account discrepancies.
Refund Policy:
A student finding it necessary to withdraw from the university must officially withdraw through the Registrar's Office. This official withdrawal must be completed before the Business Office can give any consideration for a refund. The Business Office adheres to the refund guidelines established in the University catalog.
Failure to attend class or simply notifying an individual instructor or other University personnel of interest to withdraw is not regarded as an official withdrawal.
Refunds of credit balances on student accounts will be made only after financial aid has been posted and the account is paid in full. Refund checks are released on Thursday afternoon each week.
Check Cashing:
Personal checks of up to $15.00 per day may be cashed in the Business Office. A current student ID is required. A fee of $25.00 will be charged for all returned checks.
