Answer 9. No, there is no problem. Every semester, there is a date after which tuition balances will begin to post to student portal accounts. If you register before this date, your balance will not post immediately, and you will not be able to pay your tuition right away. Please continue to check back to your student portal account, and when you see that the balance has posted, go ahead and make the payment. For Summer 2013, balances will begin to post on approximately May 21, 2013; for Fall 2013, balances will begin to post on approximately August 10, 2013. For registrations completed after this date, the balance should post immediately or within 24 business hours. Your tuition payment is due as soon as the balance has posted.
