Billing goes electronic

Tuition and fees bills will be delivered to students electronically rather than through the mail, starting in August.

Students will access their bills via CAESAR. A student may authorize other payers (such as parents) to view the bill online. Email notification is provided when each new bill is securely posted online. Payments may be made electronically or by check.

After the eBill & ePay system upgrade is completed this spring, students will receive details about selection of billing options for the fall. A paper bill option will be available, but students must specifically request it in the eBill & ePay system.
