Payment Information

An invoice for tuition, fees, housing and miscellaneous charges will be available on the web after registration. Payments can be made with credit cards, cash, check, or money order. Credit card payments can be made on-line or by phone. Payments may also be made in person in the SCSU Business Services Office, AS 123.

Any financial aid students receive will be applied to their charges after the 5th day of the semester and will be noted on the web after that date. If their aid exceeds charges, no statement will be mailed. Any excess financial aid available after current charges are paid will be available at aid disbursement, generally two weeks after the semester begins, or may be deposited directly in their bank account, if they elect that option.
