3. Payments and Financial Aid Received

Any deposits paid as part of the admission process will be reflected in this column. No financial aid will have been received by our office and applied toward a student's charges at the time a semester bill is printed, except in very rare instances.

4. Anticipated Financial Aid

In order to be considered anticipated, the aid must have been applied for via the FAFSA, awarded by the Financial Aid Office, and accepted by the student via myRedDragon.

If you have not yet accepted an award package, this column may be blank or "incomplete" on your actual bill. Therefore, you may have applied for aid that cannot be presented as a credit on your bill until you complete requirements of the Financial Aid Office. If you believe aid is missing from your account, you should consult with your financial aid advisor.

In the event additional aid is posted to an account as anticipated aid, you should monitor your myRedDragon account for new aid and balance due amounts. Note: Bills are posted monthly.

5. Balance/Credit Due

The current balance is calculated by subtracting any deposits received and anticipated aid from the total charges. Students have two options:

• Pay in full the amount listed as "Current Term Balance"
• Enroll in the Monthly Payment Plan to pay the amount listed as "Minimum Amount Due Now"
