As a new freshman or a transfer student, you are being asked to address a number of issues for which you might not be completely prepared. We want you to succeed academically! Here are some of the basics regarding your tuition:

• It takes time to maneuver through financial aid, especially the first time. If you are late in applying for it, or are still waiting for your award letter, you should consider enrolling in a budget payment plan. Any overpayment will be refunded to you after your financial aid has been disbursed.
• We are moving to a paperless billing notification system. You will NOT be receiving monthly invoices.
• Use CampusNet to verify your account balance and make your payments. You can avoid the lines and still meet the payment deadlines!
• We send out courtesy reminder email notices just before a payment due date is approaching. Please pay attention to these. They will help you avoid late payment charges.
• Late payments and partial payments are penalized with a $25 fee each month.
• Update your mailing address on CampusNet – we don’t want your refund of financial aid to be delayed in reaching you.
• Update your email address on CampusNet. Every student receives a CSU email address. You can forward your mail from CSU to a personal email account. That way you only need to check one place for current information from the University.
• Our budget payment plans are interest free! There is a $30 set up fee, but we can incorporate your tuition, housing and course fees into your monthly payments.

Right to Withhold Services

Cleveland State University authorizes the Office of Treasury Services to restrict any services to current/former students and current/former employees until any past due amounts owed to the University are paid in full. These services include, but are not limited to, the release of all academic records (e.g., diploma, and transcripts), the continuation of auxiliary services (health insurance), and registration for future semesters. Past due amounts include, but are not limited to: fees, tuition, library, health services charges, fines and loans due to the University.
