Students are responsible for all financial obligations with the University. The final step in the registration process is securing clearance from the Office of Student Accounts. Options available to clear your student account include the following:
- Make full payment of all charges for each semester by the due dates established
- Enroll in one of the University's payment plans
- Utilize funds through financial aid sources
If you wish to use federal, state or University grants and loans, outside scholarships or personal loans, all documentation must be cleared by the Financial Aid Office prior to the Office of Student Accounts providing account clearance. Please note that outside scholarships or personal loans cannot be included as financial aid unless official documentation is received by the Financial Aid Office. Documentation can include the following:
- Master Promissory Note (MPN) signed for all student loans
- Federal and Pennsylvania state grant notice of eligibility confirmed by the Financial Aid Office
- Official letter(s) from outside scholarship donors
Work-study and Student Apprenticeships
Funds earned from either program cannot be applied towards a student account clearance. Students earn funds from these programs much like earnings from an off-campus job.
Delinquent Student Accounts
A hold on a student account may be placed on individual student accounts if there is an outstanding balance on that account. A hold on a student account prohibits students from registering for future semesters, from receiving official transcripts and/or receiving diplomas. Monthly late fees are also assessed on outstanding balances owed to the University.
