Student Account System Information |
| This section will help you understand some basic
aspects of your business matters with the University of New Orleans through

| Questions about Charges to Your Account |
|
The Bursar's Office is the centralized
billing and collection location for student accounts and registration
fee payments. The Student Account system bills students by mail for most
of the charges due to UNO. Fees are subject to change without notice.
If you have any questions about your financial relationship with the University
we encourage you to call or come by the Bursar's Office. Issues regarding
Delinquent Accounts are handled by Accounts Receivable.

|
Billing statements are mailed and/or emailed to student's local mailing address. Billing statements are accessible 24/7 on the student's WebSTAR account via link "FEEBILL". If you do not receive an Account Statement prior to any fee payment period, please follow the steps below:
|
| 1. |
Check WebSTAR for
your account balance and forward any amounts owed to the University. |
| 2. |
Please ensure that all
payments are received by the University on or before the due date.
See the Important
Dates section of this Bulletin to determine when your
fees are due.
|
| 3. |
Confirm that payment
has been received by checking WebSTAR or contact the Bursar's
Office at (504) 280-6489.
|
|
If your financial aid and/or third
party credits will not cover the entire amount owed, you must pay the
remaining balance by the deadline dates or your class schedule will be
canceled. If you are unable to pay the remaining balance and you are eligible
to participate in the Extended Payment Plan Option (EPPO), please complete
a University Promissory Note. There is a $50.00 fee for this option. For
more information about EPPO, please logon to WebSTAR . Next click on "Plan Summaries" to the left of the window.
|
| |
See the Important
Dates section of this Bulletin for dates and the various phases
of registration for details on paying fees during the
registration. Students not paying fees by the published due dates will
have their class schedule canceled (purged).
|
|
|
|
You may pay the total fees in
full, or if eligible, use the Extended Payment Plan Option (EPPO). (See
the EPPO section below for details.)
|
|
|
Failure to receive an Account
Statement does not warrant exemption from penalties for non
payment or any other restrictions. Students are responsible for satisfying
all payment requirements. Failure to make payments by deadlines may result
in administrative action. (See the "Delinquent Accounts" section
at http://bursar.uno.edu/ for details.) |
| Extended Payment Option (EPPO) (Available for Fall and Spring Semesters Only) |
|
$50.00 Non-Refundable Fee and
you must have a University Promissory Note on file in the Bursar's Office
for each semester you select this option.
|
| |
|
You may use EPPO to pay tuition
and fees if you are in good financial standing with the University. If
you choose to use EPPO, a minimum payment of 50% of the total charge is
required by the designated payment deadline to complete registration.
The remaining balance will be due on October 1 for the fall term and March
1 for the spring term. The EPPO is not available for the summer term. Failure to meet the installment terms of the EPPO agreement will automatically
revoke the privilege of using EPPO for all future terms.
|
| |
|
If a student does not satisfy
their entire financial obligation by the due date and is eligible for
the payment plan but fails to elect the plan, the student's classes will
be purged.
|
|
|
|
Eligibility alone does not place
you on a payment plan. You must elect this option. This election is finalized
by having a completed and signed promissory note with the Accounts Receivable
Department.
|
|
|
|
Failure to make this election
after satisfying less than 100% of your financial obligation will result
in your classes being purged. The promissory note is located on the web,
on the reverse side of your statement, and in the Accounts Receivable
Department.
|
| Payments to Students with Credit Balances |
Credit
balances result from payments, financial aid received, and other credit entries that exceed the total of charges to a student’s account. Refunds are issued to students for the amount of the excess account balance through Direct deposit transfer to the students
checking or savings account. Account and routing numbers must be provided with a voided check only once in a student’s career unless the students wishes to cancel or change this setup. Forms are available at http://bursar.uno.edu/. At the start of the semester, the initial refund checks for credit balances are processed and mailed within 14 days after funds have been credited to your account. For financial aid recipients, a Bookstore voucher will be made for textbook costs through the last day of final registration provided the student has accepted the financial aid award. During the semester, refunds are sent on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please allow 14 days for a refund to be processed once your financial aid has been credited to your account.
