BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS Please do not assume your balance will  automatically adjust if financial aid is received or a class is dropped or added.  You should review your agreement balance online.

Students: If someone is paying on your behalf, you MUST first set them up as an Authorized Payer.

Keep in mind that some payment plans may have overlapping dates, which could result in payments for two semesters coming out at the same time.

Authorized Payers: If you are paying on behalf of the student, the student must access or set up their account first and then add you as an Authorized Payer.
