Please note that:
- A $50 deferred payment fee will be charged to all students who do not have financial aid, graduate assistantship or who are not sponsored by a third party.

- You may pay an amount equal to or less than the "Total Due" amount of your SOF.
- After the deadline, a monthly penalty of 0.75% will be added to the unpaid balance.
