Students with an outstanding balance for non-payment of fees who fail to pay their fees by September 13, 2023, may result in a hold being placed on the student's account, possible disenrollment from the current term, and forfeiture of tuition and fees payments already made. Disenrollment results in the cancellation of all fall 2023 semester class registrations and loss of access to online resources.
Your fall 2023 tuition and fees balance on GET does not include your anticipated (pending) financial aid amount. If you are anticipating financial aid to cover your tuition and fees, please note that financial aid is disbursed weekly, beginning August 21, 2023, in accordance with the 2023-2024 Disbursement Schedule. If your award has not yet been disbursed by September 13 or if your award does not cover your full tuition and fees balance, you are responsible for paying any remaining tuition and fees balance on your account by September 13.
