Credit and Payment Policy

Payment of your tuition and fees confirms your registration in classes. Failure to pay your bill or to obtain a deferment (based on Financial Aid awards, third party arrangements, or outside scholarships) will result in the cancellation of your registration. All tuition and fees, and any prior balances, must be paid in full by the stated payment deadlines. See the fall 2008 registration calendar.

If you have any questions about payment of tuition and fees, please contact the Cashiers & Student Accounts Office, 336/334-5831.

Tuition Surcharge for Undergraduates

In 1993, the North Carolina General Assembly instituted a twenty-five percent (25%) tuition surcharge which became effective fall semester 1994. The surcharge is applied to students enrolled as follows: (1) For students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a program that requires no more than 128 credit hours, the surcharge shall be applied to all hours in excess of 140. (2) For students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a UNC Board of Governors-approved program that requires more than 128 hours, the surcharge shall be applied to all hours that exceed 110% of the hours required for the degree. (3) For students earning a baccalaureate degree other than their first, the surcharge shall be applied to all hours that exceed 110% of the minimum additional credit hours needed to earn the additional baccalaureate degree. For detailed information, see the Undergraduate Bulletin.

Prior Balances

Prior semester balances, if any, must also be paid when you pay your fall bill.

Financial Aid Awards/AMS Plans

Students whose bills show a "0" balance due to financial aid awards, or who are using the AMS Plan to cover the cost of tuition and fees, should carefully follow the instructions they receive with their bills to make certain their registrations are confirmed by the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office.

Application for In-State Tuition Status

Tuition status cannot be changed at the time of registration. Please refer to the Undergraduate Bulletin or to The Graduate School Bulletin for a complete explanation of the North Carolina residency requirements for tuition purposes.

If you wish to apply for In-State Tuition Status, you must file an application in the Office of the Provost. Processing of such applications may require six to eight weeks.

Correct Mailing Address

A number of students do not receive their bills each semester because they neglect to keep their addresses current. Be sure to update your addresses using UNCGenie's Address Change feature.

Payment Methods

You may mail your payment to or pay your bill in the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office. You are urged to mail your payment as soon as possible in order to expedite the confirmation of your registration.

Also, a secured deposit box located outside the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office will allow students to deposit their billing statements and exact-amount payments in the envelopes provided at any time, including evenings and weekends.

Payments may be made by cash, check, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, or University-approved financial aid. Checks should contain the student's ID number and should be made payable to: The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Credit card and WebCheck payments may be made without charge online via the UNCGenie Web site through June 29, 2008. Effective June 30, 2008, WebCheck payments may still be made online without charge. Payments made by MasterCard, Discover, and American Express can be made online with a 2.75% convenience fee charge. The convenience fee minimum is $3.00.

Late Registration Fees

Early Registration

$30.00

Continuing students eligible to register during early registration, April 2–20, for the following semester who choose not to do so, or who fail to confirm their registration, are charged a late fee of $30.00.

Late Registration

$45.00

Students who register after registration has closed, whether for the first time with written permission or after being reinstated after a cancellation, are charged a $45.00 late fee.


 

Waiver of the late fee will be considered only when it can be demonstrably shown that the University, through one of its offices or officials, was directly responsible for the failure of the student to complete registration. Late Fee Waiver Forms may be obtained from the University Registrar's Office, Mossman Building.
