*** IMPORTANT Information About Your Bill ***

If you see pending financial aid on your bill, subtract the amount of the aid from the entire balance to determine what you owe by August 30. (Aid on your bill will appear as “memo” or “authorized.”) Should a change occur to your financial aid amount because of the verification process, you will receive another bill in September with the updated amount.
