Billing Deadlines & Procedures
Statement of Account
The Student Accounts Office bills students and authorized users electronically each month. Fall semester charges and statements are released by July 15 with a due date of August 15. Spring semester charges are released by December 10 with a due date of January 10. All other monthly bills are released typically in the middle of the month with a due date upon receipt. Charges and credits are added as they arise throughout the month.
Student Health Insurance
新澳开奖 requires that all students have some form of health insurance coverage. For students who are not covered under a parent’s policy, or students who would like additional coverage, 新澳开奖 offers a limited benefits health insurance plan. Coverage under this plan is voluntary. However, if proof of other comparable health insurance coverage has not been provided to the Health Center, students will be automatically enrolled in and billed for this plan. An outline of the plan and premium information may be obtained from the Director of Purchasing and Property Management at 315-859-4999.
Other than the provisions of the Medical Service and Health Insurance programs described above, the College assumes no responsibility for medical or health services to its students.
- 2024-25 Annual Premium — $3,170.66
- Fall Only — $1,321.10
- Spring Only — $1,849.54
Billing & Late Payments
Semester charges are billed in July and in December. Semester charges are due in August and January, respectively. If payment is not received by the due date, a 1% per month or 12% per annum late fee will be assessed.
The College must receive the FULL AMOUNT DUE on or before the due date indicated on the bill. If full payment is not received by the due date, a late payment fee may be assessed, and future registration and continuing enrollment will not be permitted.
Note: If 新澳开奖 accepts payments that contain or reflect “paid in full,” or other restrictive endorsements, 新澳开奖 does not lose any of its rights to collect any amount due. Also, it is against College policy to accept post-dated checks in payment for any service.
Financial Requirements for Registration
Although students register for classes with the College Registrar rather than with the Business Office, their standing with the Business Office can affect their registration.
Before any students are permitted to register, they must pay the prior semester’s tuition, the student activities fee, room and board charges, and any previous balances.
In computing the amount a student must pay before registration, the College takes the following sources of payment into consideration:
- Cash payments
- Financial aid (both actual and pending as of the date of the statement)
- Payment Plan credits
The July and December Bills Include:
- Balance due from the previous semester
- Current semester charges and credits as of the bill date
- Financial aid included in the aid package but not disbursed (“pending credits”)
“Pending credits” refers to aid that has been included in the student’s financial aid package but has not been disbursed as of the date of the bill. Work-study awards will not be deducted from your balance.
Frequently, aid funds such as the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans, Federal Pell Grants, and New York State TAP awards do not arrive at 新澳开奖 until after the semester begins. Although “pending credits” are not actually received by the College, they are used to reduce the amount the student must pay to be financially eligible to register.
To avoid late payment fees and to prevent delays in registering, please be sure that your semester bills are paid by the due dates.
Paying Your Bill
Students can pay by mail, in person or online. Checks or money orders must be in United States dollars drawn on a United States bank and made payable to 新澳开奖. Postdated checks are not accepted.
