Registration Procedure (On-Campus) 

Steps in the procedure require students to have their fees assessed for the current semester and paid before receiving a class schedule.  Student fees may be paid in one of a combination of the following ways: (1) cash payments from the student’s resources,

(2) financial aid package for which the student may be eligible and/or (3) deferred payment negotiated with the Business Office by the student.

When it is determined that one or a combination of these methods of payment is adequate to cover assessed fees, the student will be issued a class schedule and considered officially registered.  That is, if a student has adequate financial aid or personal funds to meet his other financial obligations, a class schedule will be printed immediately, without additional steps.  For those students who do not have adequate funds and are eligible for financial aid, the Office of Financial Aid will provide counselors to help them apply for aid.

If students have prior balances, however, satisfactory arrangements must also be made with the Business Office to clear these accounts before beginning registration.  Satisfactory arrangements with the Business Office imply either cash payment in full, partial cash payment and satisfactory commitments to timely pay the remainder of the fees, and/or evidence that adequate financial aid or other funds are forthcoming.

The Business Office has developed a payment schedule for students who find it necessary to obtain promissory notes for a portion of their fees.  The schedule will set forth the percentage of the tuition, room and board that must be paid before the note is issued and the due dates for the amount borrowed.  The signatures of parents or guardians will be required on promissory notes.

The current registration procedure makes the payment of fees a step in the process before registration is final.

As a means of centralizing the registration process financial aid, fee assessment, payment and class schedule stations are all set up in the Joe L. Reed Acadome.
