Main Campus FAQs - Fall 2007

1.) When is my payment due ?
Your payment in-full is due by 5:00 pm on August 10, 2007 for the Fall 2007 semester. If you cannot pay the total balance, you must enroll in a deferred payment option by August 10, 2007. To view the deferred payment plans and to see the specific deadline dates for the Fall 2007 semester go to the Bursar/ Cashiering home page.
2.) What if I register for classes after August 10, 2007 ?
Extended registration for Fall 2007 is being held through September 6, 2007. After August 10, 2007, students will be required to pay in-full (using the Bill Estimator) -or- enroll in the deferred payment option #4 by making a $335 down payment (includes $35 non-refundable payment plan fee) before you will be allowed to register for courses.
3.) I am receiving Financial Aid, how does billing work for me ?
If you are planning on using financial aid to pay your bill, please do not sign up for a payment plan (See Option 3 of billing deadlines and payment plans). Because Financial Aid is not applied until the semester begins, the deadline is automatically extended for those receiving Financial Aid. Any amount not covered by Financial Aid will be due by October 19, 2007.
4.) When will I receive a bill ? Where can I see my balance ?
DO NOT WAIT FOR A PAPER BILL. Your itemized bill and balance due must be accessed through the Student Online Center. UCCS will be discontinuing the mailing of bills very soon. Access the "Finances" area in the Student Online Center to view your itemized statement and balance, enroll in a deferred payment plan, and make payments.
5.) What is the College Opportunity Fund (COF) ? Am I eligible for COF ?
The simplest answer is that if you have applied for, and authorized your COF stipend for this semester, the COF stipend will show up on your bill as a credit. If you do not understand the application, authorization, or general process for COF, visit this website: https://cofweb.cslp.org/cofapp/FAQs.jsp.
6.) I have already applied for COF, why hasn't it applied toward my balance ?
In addition to applying for COF, you must also authorize your COF funds every semester by going to the Student Online Center and choosing "COF Authorization".
7.) What happens if I do not pay my balance in-full or enroll in a deferred payment plan by August 10, 2007 ?
Students who have not paid in-full or enrolled in a deferred payment plan by August 10, 2007, will be disenrolled from their courses. These students will be eligible to re-register for courses after their payment in-full or enrollment in a deferred payment option has been made.
8.) What happens if I don't pay my balance in-full by the final payment deadline for my deferred payment option ?

Bills not paid by their respective final payment deadline will be assessed a prorated late fine up to $50
$1 to 99.99 = $5
$100 to $299.99 = $10
$300 to $499.99 = $20
$500 to $699.99 = $30
$700 to $899.99 = $40
$900 and above = $50
AND a %1 per month service charge on the unpaid balance (12% A.P.R).
9.) I need to send my payment to you by overnight or Express mail, where do I send it ?
If you need to get your payment to us by overnight or Express mail, you should send it to the street address for our office (listed to the right under "Payment Options"). You should NOT use the Denver address listed on your billing statement if you are using overnight or Express mail.
10.) I pay my dependent's bill, so why can't I get his/her account details ?
Due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of the State of Colorado we are not allowed to give information concerning a student’s account to anyone other than the student. The exception is if the student has filled out a parent permission form which can be obtained from Admissions and Records.
11.) I thought I only owed tuition for this semester, why am I being charged fees ?
Tuition is only a portion of your total bill, mandatory fees also apply every semester. You can see a list of the mandatory fees, along with a list of course/lab fees that may apply to you, by going to the "Fall 2007 List of Mandatory and Course-Specific Fees".
12.) How does billing work for Extended Studies Courses ?
Extended Studies courses are billed differently than main-campus courses. You can find the answers to your questions by selecting "Extended Studies Billing" above.
