Important Enrollment and Balance Information for Summer 2026 and Fall 2026 Katrina Dawn ShorterShow MyInfo popup for Katrina Dawn Shorter 4/2/2026 12:53:30 PM

As you prepare to enroll for the Summer 2026 and Fall 2026 semesters, please review the following information regarding student account balances and enrollment requirements.

Enrolling with a Current Semester Balance

You may be able to enroll even if you have a balance for the current semester. However, to do so, you must have a payment plan or other approved payment arrangement set up at the time of enrollment. Advisors and the Cashier’s Office can help you review available payment options.

Prior Semester Balances

Please note that balances from previous semesters must be paid in full before you can enroll. Payment plans or arrangements do not apply to prior semester balances—only to charges from the current semester.

Balance Payment Deadline – July 31

All student balances must be paid in full by July 31. If your account still has an outstanding balance after this date, you will be dropped from your Fall courses on the first Monday in August.

Fall Charges and Cost Estimates

There is a delay in posting Fall Preliminary Charges and the Cost Estimator while tuition and fees are being reviewed by the Board. These estimates are expected to be available by April 13.
If you need an estimate of your Fall charges before then, please contact the Cashier’s Office for assistance.
