Payment of Tuition and Fees
Unless a deferment is granted, students should pay the total amount of their semester or summer term tuition and fees by the due date on the statement of account they receive and should use a check for exact amount, MasterCard, or VISA. A special handling fee is assessed for students who enroll after the start of classes and a 1.5% default charge is assessed for any balance billed but not paid by the due date.
Deferments
If the student's eligibility to receive financial aid is verifiable, the director of student financial assistance may authorize the deferment of payment of tuition and fees in accordance with the Board of Regents Policy and Procedures Manual (Chapter 2, Section E). The student's obligation to pay regularly assessed tuition and fees is not reduced by an approval to defer payment.
1. Those students who have fulfilled the application requirements and whose awards have been made by the June packaging date, but whose aid has not been disbursed. Deferments may be granted only to the approved level of financial aid eligibility. The amount of tuition and fees over and above the anticipated financial aid award must be paid by the student.
2. Veterans receiving benefits. Full tuition/fee deferment.
3. International students. Full tuition/fee deferment.
Returned checks
Tuition and fee payment checks that are returned uncollectible by financial institutions will be subject to a $30 charge, in addition to all other fees.
Withholding student records
The university withholds students' academic records for nonpayment of tuition and fees, loans, and other appropriate charges and for nonreturn of university property.

Library expansion fee
In 1991 a student referendum was passed providing for a $5 million commitment by students to partially fund the expansion of the library.
