The Bill Clearance date is the last day of registration for  Fall, Spring, and both Summer sessions.  Students not identified by Tuition Management Systems will automatically be charged $47.00 and placed on TMS's Monthly Payment Plan.  This process applies to accounts receiving payment through the Financial Aid Office and those who have not satisfied their financial obligation with the Business Office.  You may contact TMS at 1-800-722-4867 or visit their website at www.afford.com/uncfsu. Accounts not cleared by the last day of registration may result in the dropping of class registrations.

Bill Clearance may be completed through the following methods:

• Pay Balance in Full -  All payments must be received in the University Cashier's Office by the Bill Clearance date.  When forwarding payment (no cash, please) via mail service, please consider processing time. The University Cashier's Office accepts cash, personal checks, certified funds, MasterCard, and Visa.  For convenience, students are encouraged to utilize Web pay when paying by MasterCard or Visa.  Please include your Student Banner ID Number on all payments remitted.

• Enroll in Tuition Management Systems (TMS) payment plan - TMS will provide Student Accounts a list of all students enrolling in the payment plan as of the Bill Clearance date.  (Please refer to the "Payment Plan" section of the Student Accounts's Webpage for more information.)

S. Army.  For more information, please refer to the "GoArmyEd" link provided above.

• Faculty/Staff Waivers - Faculty and staff eligible for tuition and fee waivers must provide Ms. Aube, Third Party Student Account Representative with a copy of the waiver form on or before the Bill Clearance date.  FSU faculty and staff must submit the original request to the FSU Human Resources Department for approval;  waivers not approved by the Human Resources Department will be denied by Student Accounts, and all tuition and fees assessed for the semester will be the responsibility of the student.
