IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BILL


student in class

Fall and Spring semester payments for full and part time matriculated students are due in full approximately 4-6 weeks prior to the first day of classes.  Payments by part-time non-matriculated students AND any student who registers after the semester due date are due upon registration.

Payments by ALL students registering for courses offered in wintersession, spring break, and/or summer sessions are due at the time of registration.

 

For information on specific bill due dates and other important dates click here.

 

Payments may include financial aid, scholarship(s), third party payments, payments from personal resources or enrollment in a payment plan (see below).

You can review your current University charges and make payments on-line at MySCSU and click on the BannerWeb link. 

You may make a payment in person at the Bursar's Office in the Wintergreen Building. Methods of payment are cash, checks, or credit card. The University accepts Master Card, Visa, and Discover credit cards.

 

You may also use the Express Payment Box in the Wintergreen Building (available when the Wintergreen Building is open only).  The Express Payment Box excepts payments made by check or credit card. Please do NOT place cash in the Express Payment Box. Payments are posted to your account by the next business day. If you require a receipt, please include a request for receipt with your Express Payment and one will be mailed to you.

Penalty for late and non-payment.  A full or part time matriculated student's account is considered "past due" after a 10 day grace period from the due date. Any part-time student and/or any full-time student who registers after the semester due date and does not pay upon registration is also considered past due. Past due student accounts are subject to a $50 Late fee, having a hold placed on them, and/or having their class schedule canceled and if applicable, their housing assignment canceled. Holds placed on accounts will prevent students from registering for subsequent semesters, restrict access to transcripts and grades, and/or their class schedule will be canceled. Special circumstances may be reviewed on a case by case basis.

 

If you have any questions, please look through our web site FAQs or visit us in the Wintergreen Building between the hours of 8am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.  We also have extended hours every Monday until 6pm. You may also contact us by phone at (203) 392-6140.

FINANCIAL AID: An application for financial aid does not guarantee eligibility for a financial aid award nor exemption from your payment.  If you have not received a financial aid award notification by your bill due date (as described above), you must make other payment arrangements. If you have accepted a financial aid award, your total accepted award may not yet appear on your current bill. If your financial aid is not present on your current eBill statement and you have a balance due to the University, you must make payment arrangements by your bill due date. Click here for more information about payment arrangements.

 

You may review your financial aid award on the web at MYSCSU.  If you have any questions, we encourage you to visit the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships in the Wintergreen Building or contact the office at (203) 392-5222.
