Your Bill & Receiving Your Aid
Fall 2019 Billing
The Bursar's Office is responsible for billing and will assess charges to your student account such as tuition, fees, housing and meal plans. Bills are sent on a monthly basis.
For the fall quarter:
- Initial bills were sent on August 1st
- The due date for that bill is August 22nd
The initial bill lists tuition, fees, housing (if living on campus) and any other charges you have for the fall quarter, as well as your authorized financial aid. In order for aid to be "authorized" and appear on your bill, it must be accepted and all requirements completed. Be sure to check PioneerWeb—any item with a red flag in the "Financial Aid Requirements" box requires additional action, and the award associated with that requirement will not appear as a credit on your bill until that item is satisfied.
Financial Aid Refunds
If your financial aid is more than the total of your charges, you may be eligible for a refund to pay other non-billable expenses. Refunds are typically generated by the Bursar's Office 2-3 business days after disbursement. We recommend setting up direct deposit in order to expedite the receipt of your refund.
To set up direct deposit for refunds:
- Log into PioneerWeb.
- Go to the Student tab.
- Click on the "Direct Deposit Info" link (located in the My Statement/Payment box).
A note about Parent PLUS loans:
If your parent borrowed a Parent PLUS loan, any refund owed will be sent directly to the parent via mailed check. However, if the student's financial aid (without the PLUS loan) is greater than the bill, those excess funds will first be refunded directly to the student. The additional PLUS loan amount will be refunded to the parent unless otherwise requested.
If you wish to have the refund from a Parent PLUS loan sent to the student instead of the parent, please contact our office to make that request.
