Academic Year 2008 - 2009

Tuition and Fees

Payment of Consolidated Student Statements

The Consolidated Student Statement is a comprehensive statement that bills students for tuition and fees, University housing and meals, athletic tickets, parking permits and citations, telecommunication services, health center charges and NCard charges which could include charges from the University Bookstore, campus recreation, campus snack bars, etc. When payment is made or financial aid is applied to a student account, it will appear as a credit on the next Consolidated Student Statement. If credits exceed charges, a refund will be issued to the student electronically or by check, and will be posted on the next statement as a charge.

Consolidated Student Statements will be generated at the end of each month. You will receive an e-mail notification for on-line viewing via WAM! (What About Me) or WAMS! (What About My Student). Statements will always be available by the 25th of the month, and associated payments are due on the second Wednesday of the following month. Students may call the Office of Student Accounts to request a printed bill be mailed; however, we strongly encourage students and their families to utilize WAM! or WAMS! and print their own bills in order to greatly reduce postage and printing costs. The Student Information System allows students to designate a billing address, which will be used for all consolidated student statement mailings. If a billing address is not designated, local addresses will be used during the first and second semesters, and permanent addresses will be used in December and May-July. Students may call the Office of Student Accounts (402) 472-2887 to designate a billing address.

Semester tuition and fees will appear on the Consolidated Student Statement that is generated in August (First Semester) or January (Second Semester). Tuition and fees are due the second Wednesday of September (First Semeseter) or February (Second Semester). All other charges are due the second Wednesday of the month following their appearance on the bill.

Students can grant parents, or others, access to their billing information via the WAM! (What About Me) page. The student sets up a password that can be used along with their student identification number to allow parents or others to log into WAMS! (What About My Student). They will have access to the ‘My Bill’ screens, which includes the monthly bill and on-line payment options.

The following payment options are available for the Consolidated Student Statements:

In Person	Cash, personal check, money orders/bank drafts, travelers checks, credit card checks
Via Web (WAM!) or (WAMS!)	MasterCard or Discover cards with 2% non-refundable convenience fee ($2 minimum) based on the payment amount, e-check
Via US Mail	Personal checks, money orders/bank drafts, travelers checks, credit card checks

It is important that you keep Registration and Records, 107 Canfield Administration Building South, informed of your current mailing and e-mail addresses. If someone else will be paying your bills, be certain to inform them of the processes available.

All payments mailed or placed in the Bursar’s drop box, 121 Canfield Administration Building North, should always be identified with your name and 8-digit student identification number. Consolidated Student Statements are generated each month for students with unpaid balances, and if there any new activity since the previous billing cycle.

The late charge for failing to meet payment deadlines is $20 each month. A HOLD is placed on the records of students with delinquent accounts. A HOLD prohibits future enrollment (including adds, section changes) and also prohibits the release of transcripts and diplomas until the accounts are brought current. Students with an account one-month delinquent will lose NCard charging privileges and telecommunication service and may lose access to campus recreation and the health center. If an account becomes two months delinquent, the process will begin that will lead to eviction from Housing.

You will be expected to pay any unpaid portion of the percentage of tuition and fees chargeable. Graduate teaching and research assistants who withdraw from all courses or leave their assistantship become liable for their tuition and fees.

The official period of enrollment is the time from the beginning of the semester through the day you drop or withdraw on eNRoll, or file your "Schedule Adjustment Form", or "Cancellation/Withdrawal Form" with Registration and Records, 107 Canfield Administration Building South. Only in the case of a timely notification of unexpected hospitalization of the student, the death of a member of the student's immediate family living in the student's household, or University error may the effective date of the drop or withdrawal be adjusted to the date of the occurrence of the event. Proper documentation will be required to determine the adjusted effective date.

Courses that meet for less than a semester (mini-courses) follow a special prorated schedule for the charges. Contact the Office of Student Accounts, 124 Canfield Administration Building North, (402) 472-2887, for the particular details.

If after the sixth class day of the semester you decide to drop a course or courses and/or withdraw from the University, you should contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, 17 Canfield Administration Building South, (402) 472-2030, before you act to discuss the possible need for repayment of federal aid and your eligibility for subsequent aid in future semesters.

Payment of Financial Obligations

Failure by a student to pay a financial obligation to the University or any department, division, or agency thereof, will result in denial of readmission, denial of transcripts, denial of registration for ensuing terms, withholding of diplomas, and may result in an administrative cancellation of enrollment until the debt is paid in full. NOTE: See Registration Holds.

Past due accounts will be subject for assignment to a professional collection agency and collection costs may be added to the delinquent account.

In the event that your check is returned unpaid for insufficient or uncollected funds, we may re-present your check electronically. In the ordinary course of business, your check will not be provided to you with your bank statement.
