How to Read Your Billing Statement

The Billing Statement is separated into three major sections:

  • A remittance slip. When mailing in payments, please always include this section and the student's ID number on the check or money order to ensure proper credit to the account. The due date for the adjusted balance due will be in the upper right corner of the billing statement
  • An account summary section. This section contains useful account activity summary at a glance. An explanation of each section and what the numbers represent is included below.
  • A detailed line item section. Every charge, credit, or refund will be detailed in this section. For an explanation of what each line item is, please see our Common Fees and Transactions page.
