  • July 1 with a payment deadline of August 2 for the Fall Semester

If a student has not paid or made arrangements to pay the tuition bill by the payment due date, the student’s registration and housing will be dropped and a hold will be placed on Self-Service. Limited access to Self-Service will remain available.
