2009-2010 Financial Policies
Tuition and Fees Payment Deadline
The entire bill including charges incurred for the semester after the e-bill (electronic statement) date must be received to complete financial settlement for the semester prior to the due date to avoid cancellation of your class schedule. Payment for each semester is noted on the payment schedule.
E-bills are sent to students via the Samford University e-mail system which remains the official means of communication with students; the University no longer provides paper statements. Students are advised to check their e-mail regularly.
Registered students will receive an e-bill prior to the payment due date. The e-bill reflects activity up to the date the e-bill was generated. Activity that transpired after the e-bill generation date can be viewed online via the Samford Portal. The portal view provides both activity since the last statement and a complete account summary.
Students who register after the e-bill generation date will not receive an e-bill until the next billing cycle which is typically after the term begins. Therefore, these students must consult the online system to view their account summary and arrange payment by the due date.
Delinquency
Enrollment in classes may be cancelled for nonpayment by the due date. Students may not receive grades or transcripts and are not allowed to participate in commencement until the past due amount is cleared. The University may charge interest on all amounts past due. Past due accounts assigned to a collection agency may be reported to the credit bureaus and students are charged for collection costs.
