Tuition/Fees Payment Deadlines

Student accounts will be assessed tuition and fees upon registering for classes.  Students are responsible for paying any outstanding balance remaining on the account after all forms of financial aid (Hope, Pell, Scholarships, Third Party Payments, etc.) have been applied to the student account. 

Students who remain registered for any classes at the end of the drop/add period will be responsible for the outstanding balance.  A hold will be placed on accounts with outstanding balances prior to the registration period for the subsequent semester.  The hold will prevent future registration as well as issuance of transcripts.

To pay your tuition and fees, students may:

• Use awarded financial aid benefits – the financial aid department will automatically cover account balances with all eligible benefits.   
• Pay online through the Banner Student login using check, credit or debit card.
• Pay in person at the cashier’s window on the Athens Campus or Elbert using cash, check, money order, credit card, or debit card. 
• Pay in person at the administrative office on the Walton campus using check or money order. 
• Mail payment to the business office at 800 US Hwy 29N, Athens, GA 30601 Attn:  Cashier.   
• Use the payment plan administered by Nelnet Business Solutions.  (See Tuition Payment Plan) 

The Financial Aid staff will automatically apply financial aid for charges of students eligible and approved to receive these benefits.

Withdrawing from classes prior to the start of the academic term will not affect academic progress and the withdrawal will not be reflected on academic transcripts.
