hey divas,
today i have for you a super-fun-and-definitely-not-boring psa about your finances.
^live footage of me when i’m reminded we live in an economy and money exists. if this is also you, i promise i’ll keep this short.
so september 30th just passed, which was the deadline to pay your fall tuition fees. but you knew that, right? …right?
well, i sure hope most of you paid your fees. but for those of you who were like me in first year and did not know such a deadline existed, this is a message for you! (and don’t you dare say it’s just me, i know y’all are lurking out there. i saw y’all in the registrar’s office asking about fees just last week).
so i’m here to tell you that if you missed the deadline to pay your fall fees, you will be ok. although the official deadline happens on september 30th, there is a grace period of 15 days!
what does this mean? well, it means that late fees will not be added to your account if you pay your fees by october 15. so if everything shows in your acorn account before october 15, you’re all good to go.
i do however, recommend paying your fees as soon as possible, because they may take a few days to process through the system, depending on how you’re paying them.
and if you’re already registered, you won’t be removed from your courses. i know that this is something a lot of you are scared will happen if you don’t pay your fees right/miss the deadline, but it will NOT happen! you’re safe, and so is your spot in your courses.
finally, this last part is relevant to people living in a student residence. you might have already registered with a payment during the summer, so you think you’re all set for this deadline. BUT, residence fees show up in your account later on, after you’ve already registered. some people don’t realize this and think they already paid their fees. so if you are in residence, make sure to also pay your residence fees, which had the same sep 30 deadline.
and that’s all. i hope you all appreciated this psa and feel better about your fees. i also hope you all enjoyed reading about finances for however long it took you to get through this post. i however, will never get that time back.
over and out,
aska
