CONFIRM BY USING ESTIMATED FINANCIAL AID - You must confirm you will attend even if fees are paid in full by financial aid, loans, and/or scholarships. Your balance after financial aid is credited must be ZERO or a negative balance before you can confirm and receive a confirmation number. Financial Aid Students - See Financial Aid Website for steps to confirm using estimated financial aid.
CONFIRM BY PAYING YOUR FEES - If you owe a balance, you will directed to a secure payment site to make payment or enroll in the Deferred Fee Payment Plan. Note: Enrollment in the Deferred Fee Payment Plan requires a minimum initial payment, plus an enrollment fee. Further information on how to enroll in the Deferred Fee Payment Plan can be found of the Bursar's website.
You must confirm even if your fees will be paid in full by financial aid, loans, scholarships, third party, or other credits.
Failure to complete the confirmation process will result in your registration cancellation! Don't let this happen to you!
