Tuition and Fees

The Student Accounts Office handles tuition, fees and policies. In addition, the office can answer questions related to billing and payments, bookstore credits, third-party billing and refunds.

The Student Accounts team is available at all °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï Enrollment Central locations. Please see the hours of operation under Contact Information.
