Student Accounts

New Students - A Beginner's Guide

Account Status can be viewed via myRedDragon at any time (but the ability to make on line payments is open only from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. daily). As changes are made to a student’s account they “post” in real time.

Bills for the fall semester are mailed in early July and payment is due on or about August 13; bills for the spring semester are printed in early December and are due on or about January 10. Students will be charged for full time tuition, fees, health insurance, and room & board (if applicable). Students who have satisfied all requirements of the Financial Advisement office (completed FAFSA, chosen a lender, completed entrance interview, accepted aid package) will have their aid posted on their bill. This aid and any deposits paid are considered credits and act as a “deferral” against their billed charges. Students are required to pay the difference between their billed charges and the credits that appear on their bill.

Costs of attendance vary depending on student level (undergraduate or graduate), residency status (New York State resident or not), living arrangements (on campus or off), and other miscellaneous factors (full time or part time, meal plan choices, etc). To see detailed amounts choose Costs of Attendance and select the correct variables (state or non-state resident, undergraduate or graduate student, on campus housing or off).

Payment may be made in full or the Monthly Payment Plan may be chosen. In either case, the student must make the required payment on or before the due date listed on the front of the billing statement. As part of the payment process students must sign and return the bottom portion of their bill (if paying by mail) or accept their charges when prompted (if paying on line). Details on the payment process (including the Monthly Payment Plan) are available by choosing Payments.

Student Health Insurance is required of all full-time undergraduates. As a result, all such students will be charged for this coverage with the fall semester bill. This charge may be waived but proof of adequate coverage by another plan MUST be presented via an on-line process. The waiver process will not be available until July 7, 2008; the waiver process will close at the end of business on September 30, 2008. Details on the plan, and the waiver process, are available by choosing Student Health Insurance.
