Bill Worksheet Instructions

Updated December 21, 2004

ALL RETURNING STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE AND SUBMIT A BILL WORKSHEET TO THE OFFICE OF STUDENT ACCOUNTS BEFORE ATTENDING CLASSES.

On the BILL WORKSHEET form:

Step 1

Fill in your name, permanent home address, social security number/Emp/Student ID #, home phone number, and local phone number (if you know it).

Step 2

Copy the amount from the previous balance line on your STUDENT STATEMENT onto the line (on the BILL WORKSHEET) titled: BALANCE FORWARD TOTAL

Step 3

Copy the amount from the Sub Total line of the student statement onto the corresponding Spring 2005 Total line of the Bill Worksheet.

Step 4

If you have chosen to pay your bill by participating in a payment plan such as ACADEMIC MANAGEMENT SERVICES (AMS) or TUITION MANAGEMENT SERVICES  (TMS), place ½ of your contract amount on the line titled: Subtract AMS, TMS

Step 5

Review your STUDENT STATEMENT to ensure that your charges and Pending Financial Aid are correct.  Please list all awards on the BILL WORKSHEET on the line titled: Subtract Other Awards/Aid

Please attach copies of verifying documentation to the BILL WORKSHEET for anything other than pending aid (ex: private scholarships, third party billings, etc.)

Step 6

Subtract the amounts indicated on lines entitled Subtract AMS, TMS and Subtract Other Awards/Aid from the lines entitled Spring 2005 TOTAL + BALANCE FORWARD TOTAL and place the result on the line entitled AMOUNT DUE TO/FROM STUDENT.

If the Amount Due Now on your STUDENT STATEMENT is:

Positive - then you owe the University this amount. If you wish to pay the University with a VISA, DISCOVER or MASTERCARD, you can fill out the AUTHORIZATION TO PAY BY CREDIT CARD at the bottom of the BILL WORKSHEET.

If the Amount Due Now on your STUDENT STATEMENT is:

Negative - then the University may owe you a refund once all of your Pending Financial Aid is posted to your account. As you copy this amount to the BILL WORKSHEET, please indicate that you have a pending credit (refundable) balance by placing a CR next to this amount.  (The amount of the refund will depend upon the amount of the final financial aid that is posted).

Step 7

If you have a credit balance after all pending financial aid is posted to your account, you have the option of transferring up to $500.00 to your Hawk Express card for purchasing books.

Step 8

Amounts of $500.00 or less which are due from you may be deferred automatically by student accounts.

Step 9

Please read the statement printed on the BILL WORKSHEET.  Please sign and date the BILL WORKSHEET and return to the office of student accounts.
