Business Office and Billing

We bill by semester, fall bills are sent around the beginning of July and spring bills are sent the beginning of December. Tuition statements are sent to students electronically. 

The Fall bill is due mid August and the spring bill is due the beginning of January.

No, if you have been awarded Federal Work Study funds these funds are not credited to your bill. If you obtain a job on campus you will receive a monthly paycheck for the hours you worked.

The loan amounts on your aid offer are a gross amount. The lender takes a fee out of the loan prior to disbursement to the school therefore the amount on the bill reflects the actual net loan amount the lender will disburse.

If you receive scholarships from outside sources that are not showing on your award letter or billing statement please contact the Financial Aid office and the Business Office to discuss how it will affect your bill.

If you are inquiring into additional aid/loan options please contact the Financial aid office at 724-852-3208. There is also information available on the University website under the Financial Aid Office.

If you have financial aid or payments that exceed the cost of your semester charges a refund will be issued to you (or parent if designated on a plus loan) once aid funds have disbursed to the account and a credit is showing. No refund will be issued until after the start of the semester.

If you are relying on your refund to buy books please note that semester refunds are not processed until after the start of the semester. The timing of when the refund is processed is contingent on the disbursement of your aid and/or payments.

No, after the initial billing for the semester the only time a new bill is automatically generated is if there is a change to the charges. If you receive a new aid offer from the Financial Aid office please contact the Business Office and we will go over the account with you and send out a revised statement.

If you would like family members to be able to inquire into your financial account you will need to add them as Authorized Users on your online tuition account through Nelnet Campus Commerce. This will grant them access to your online tuition account information and billing statements. We request this from students to protect their privacy and to comply with Federal privacy laws.
