Understanding your Bill (See Illustration)

1.  Tuition and fees are listed here. A description of institutional fees is available on the Tuition and Fees page.

2.  Amounts charged for miscellaneous items such as books appear as an "Other Balance".

3.  "Pending" financial aid is shown here. This is aid that was awarded to you but not yet received by the college. 

4.  "Applied" financial aid is shown here. This is financial aid that has been received by the college and already deducted from the Balance due on your bill.

The example shows $1913 Pending but only $600 Applied. Any aid that is Pending but not Applied can be deducted from the amount due on your bill. In the example, that would mean that you could deduct $1313 from the balance due even though it has not yet been received.* Do not deduct the total amount Applied--this has already been deducted from the Balance Due.

*Since the balance on the illustrated bill is already $0.00, the net amount of the loan (the loan amount less any fees charged by the lender) will be refunded to the student within 14 days after funds are recieved by the College.

5.  Cash payments and third party credits are reflected here.

6.  Cash refunds paid to you. This means a refund has been processed and will be ready for you.  See Financial Aid Refunds for more information. Please note that the "Refund" field is cumulative and will always equal the total amount of refunds throughout the semester.
