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.

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)

It is the student’s responsibility to pay any remaining balance after all financial aid, scholarship, and third-party funding have been applied to their account. To check the student balance:

• Login to Banner Web

• Select Student Services & Financial Aid

• Select Student Accounts (Pay Online)

• Select View Account Balance

• Select the appropriate term

• This will show your account balance for the term selected

If a student adds a course or changes classes after paying tuition and fees, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure the account balance is zero.

Students who have paid their tuition and fees or who receive financial aid benefits must complete the formal withdrawal process if they later decide not to attend classes (see Withdrawing from Classes for procedures). 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.
