Understanding Your Statement of Account
Statement of Account Terms and Descriptions
- Balance Due As of Today - The total Past and Current Charges (current charges are those due within 29 days of today)
- Charges - Includes charges for tuition and fees as well as student health insurance, university housing. Also includes refunds.
- Payments/Adjustments - Includes web and check payments, pending and disbursed financial aid, and fee authorizations as well as transfers to payment plans and third-party contracts.
- Notes Section - A Notes section is included with key information of interest to all students - due dates, financial aid disbursements information based on your student record.
Critical Note
An Unapplied Payments section will be visible if there are payments or other credit-overpayments, payments that can only be applied to specific types of charges-on your account. Unapplied payments may be processed as refunds, as in an overpayment, but others are not refundable.
Critical Note
An Unpaid Charges from Other Terms section will be visible when the Balance Due as of Today includes charges from terms other than the term for which the Statement of Account was run.
