Explanation of Invoice
How tuition and fees are calculated
Undergraduate tuition and fees are based on an assumption of full-time status (12 or more credits). If you are taking fewer than 12 credits, the charges can be prorated. Please contact the Student Service Center for the correct charges. Graduate and non-degree tuition and fees are based on actual course registration.
Student health insurance
All students should either enroll in or waive the insurance by the due date indicated on the student invoice.
- All students who have not enrolled in or waived the University health insurance plan by the due date of the bill will have a registration hold placed on their accounts.
- Students with appropriate coverage, who do not waive coverage by the waiver date, will be charged for insurance.
If you have successfully completed the online waiver of the insurance, deduct the insurance charge from the total due if that charge appears on your invoice.
