SUNY Cortland has suspended the mandatory health insurance program for the 2012 - 2013 academic year. As a result, no charge for an insurance premium will appear on the fall 2012 bills, and no "waiver" will need to be completed. The college will offer a voluntary plan for students wishing to purchase health insurance but details on the pricing of such a plan, and how to enroll, are not available at this time. Students and their parents are strongly encouraged to assess their health insurance coverage before arriving on campus. Those wishing to purchase health insurance should contact the Student Accounts Office before the start date of the plan (August 10, 2012).
Summer hours. The Student Accounts Office is operating under summer hours (8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday) through August 17, 2012. The office will return to "normal" hours (8:00 - 4:30) beginning August 20, 2012.
Important note on how you will be receiving bills. In an effort to conserve both natural resources and reduce printing and postage expenses, we do not mail bills. Your myRedDragon Account is the official location where we will post your billing statement. Email reminders will be sent to your Cortland preferred email address each time a billing statement is posted. It is therefore very important that you keep your in box available and check both your email notification and your account regularly for changes in charges, financial aid, or other billed items. Federal regulations stipulate that accounts belong to students and that we must bill the student as the primary account holder. However, students who have parents who are assisting them with payments of their bills should create authorized user accounts for any parent or guardian on QuikPay® as soon as possible. In this way, your authorized user(s) will also receive e mail notification each time a billing statement is posted. See Billing/Payment Information for directions on setting up authorized payers.
Fall Bills will be posted online and available for viewing at approximately 4:00 p.m. on July 9.
Student Accounts Functions
The Student Accounts Office coordinates all functions related to student billing and payment. In addition to local management of the Monthly Payment Plan, Student Accounts processes all financial aid payments received on behalf of students, and disburses all refunds both from aid and/or overpayment. Other duties include managing the "residency for tuition purposes" function, calculation of refund amounts due to withdrawals, management of the list of accounts on "hold" for past due balances, as well as collection and miscellaneous financial functions for other College departments.

Allowing Someone Else to Pay Your Bill
For directions on how to "authorize" non-students (parents) access to student billing and account information, please refer to the Authorized Payers portion of our Billing/Payment Information page. Providing such access will also enable authorized payers to receive the same email notification students receive every time a bill is generated.
