ATTN: e-Billing and your account

The first fee assessment for Fall 2025 will soon be available in Minerva (mid-July) and the first e-Bill will generate during the first week of August. Make sure you’ll be charged at the right tuition rate by checking that your status is correct in Minerva under Student>>Student Accounts>>View Tuition and Legal Status (be sure to select the Fall term from the drop-down menu).

If your tuition status needs updating, remember to submit your legal documents.
