Student Account Information
What
is a student account?
Your Student Account,
is a centralized billing and payment system that includes
charges, such as, tuition and fees, lab/course fees, residence
hall rent, food service, parking permits, parking fines and
other campus charges.
How does the student
account system affect me?
Billing information and other student account correspondence
will be emailed to your UGA account on record with the University.
Bills are not mailed. Anytime a charge or payment activity
posts to your student account, you will be emailed a notice
to access your student account and review your student account
for recent activity. In addition, you will receive email notices
concerning impending due dates, late fee deadlines and schedule
cancellation dates. It is YOUR responsibility to check
your email regularly in order to receive timely billing notifications.
The University recognizes e-mail as an official means of communication.
In accordance with University of Georgia policy, you are required
to have an email address to which official University communications
can be sent. It has been determined that, in the best interest
of effective communications management, this address must
reside on the University-maintained UGA e-mail system. It
is therefore important that you check your email regularly.
Online
Transaction:
You will have the ability to see your student account transactions
on-line. Access your account by going to MY
STUDENT ACCOUNT.
Payment
Deadlines:
The payment deadlines for paying your student account are
slightly different than the payment deadlines for prior semesters.
Please familiarize yourself with the new payment deadline
information. Access payment deadline information at: http://www.bursar.uga.edu/deadlines.html
**REMEMBER
that failure to pay your account balance by the deadlines
stated on your student account summary will result in late
fees and could also result in schedule cancellation. Please
note that cancellation of your schedule will prevent access
to your meal plan and impact your ability to live in campus
housing. It is Board of Regents Policy that fees, mandatory
and elective, are due and payable upon registration.**
Whom do I call if I have questions about
my charges?
In general, the Student Accounts Department or the Bursar's
Office can answer questions about your student account. However,
it may be necessary for you to contact the department from
which this charge was derived. For example: if you are questioning
the amount of the residence hall fee, you will need to contact
the University Housing Department. If you are not sure whom
to call, please contact Student
Accounts or call us at 706-542-1625.
What if I am a financial aid recipient?
Please see payment deadlines for more detail. Additionally,
if you are a financial aid recipient, you may choose the "permission
to pay" option at MY
STUDENT ACCOUNT so that your financial aid can
be applied to any charge posted to your student account. Without
permission, we will only be able to apply aid to tuition and
fees and contracted residence hall rent and food service plans.
Deferments are only allowed for the awarded aid the University
has not yet processed. Please see deferment policy for more
information regarding eligibility and how to obtain a deferment
if you think you are eligible. If you have questions regarding
your financial aid payment, please contact Student
Accounts Department or call 706-542-2965.
How
do I receive my HOPE book allowance?
The HOPE Scholarship amount is first applied to your student
account balance. If your HOPE amount exceeds your account
balance, the remainder is mailed to the student based on the
students eligibility.
How can I pay my student account?
Students can pay their student account with cash, check, on-line
with credit/debit card (American Express, Discover and MasterCard
ONLY), webcheck, and financial aid. Graduate assistants can
use the payroll deduct payment option to pay tuition and fees
only. Please refer to the detailed information listed in Payment
of My Student Account.
When
would I be charged a late fee?
Failure
to make payment by the due date will result in a late fee.
A late fee of $50 is assessed to the student account the day
following the due date. If payment is still outstanding by
the end of the drop/add period, the late fee will increase
to $100. A schedule of late fees is located at: http://www.bursar.uga.edu/deadlines.html
A $50.00 late fee will also be assessed to students who do
not register during phase IA, IB, II or III. Payment of the
student account balance must be paid in full prior to the
processing of late add forms. Please reference Late
Add procedures for further information.
When would my schedule be cancelled?
Failure to make payment on your semester related
charges by the due date posted on the payment deadline calendar
will result in schedule cancellation. At this time, semester
related charges consist of tuition and fees, meal plans, and
residence hall rent. If you receive approval to have your
schedule reinstated, all amounts (less late fees originally
assessed) at the time of cancellation plus a $150.00 reinstatement
fee must be paid prior to any schedule reinstatement.
Please note that schedule cancellation will prevent access
to your meal plan and impact your ability to live in campus
housing.
If my schedule is cancelled, can it
be reinstated?
Your canceled schedule can only be reinstated with
the permission of the instructors, the appropriate dean's
office, and the department head/director for the course. If
permission for reinstatement is granted, you will be required
to pay a $150 reinstatement fee plus the entire account balance
due at the time of cancellation. This will include charges
for contracted university housing and meal plans and fees
charged by other departments on campus. Payment must be made
in full in order to proceed with the reinstatement process. For questions regarding reinstatement please email a reinstatement counselor at bursar@uga.edu with the subject line "Reinstatement".
