Current Balance Due here should
be 0.00.
If the Financial Aid process is
incomplete then students need to
set up a payment plan by the Due
Date to stay registered.
(Loans are not paid until after
Certification Date.)
If you haven’t set up a payment
plan by the payment due date
you run the risk of being dropped
from your classes.
