Office of Student Accounts Terms and Conditions

The Office of Student Accounts (OSA), which handles billing, has separate terms and conditions which cover several areas including payment/promise to pay, method of billing, method of communication, delinquent accounts/collections, withdrawing from the university, and more. A summary of some of the information in the Terms & Conditions is below:

• I understand that when I register for any class at Millersville University or receive any service from Millersville University I accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees, and other associated costs assessed, including late fees and interest, as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services.
• I understand and agree that if I drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which I register (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition, fees, and costs in accordance with the published tuition refund schedule at
  http://millersville.edu/osa/refund.php.
• I have read the terms and conditions of the published tuition refund schedule and understand those terms are incorporated herein by reference. I further understand that my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as
  described above.
• I understand that, despite my expectations for payment from financial aid or other sources, I am ultimately responsible for all charges incurred and costs assessed.
• I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and
  owing to Millersville University by the scheduled due date, Millersville University will place a financial hold on my student account, preventing me from registering for future classes or on-campus housing, or receiving transcripts.
• I understand and agree that if I fail to clear my student account by the scheduled
  due date, Millersville University may assess late fees as approved according to University policy.
• I understand that Millersville University uses electronic billing (e-bill) as its official billing method, and therefore I am responsible for viewing and paying my student account e-bill by the scheduled due date. I further understand that failure to review my e-bill does not constitute a valid reason for not paying my bill on time. E-bill information is available at https://www.millersville.edu/osa/e-bills.php.
• I understand and agree that Millersville University uses my Millersville University email account as an official method of communication with me and that therefore I am responsible for reading the e-mails I receive from Millersville University on a timely basis.
• I understand that I must abide by the official university policies regarding withdrawal from the
  university. Withdrawal from the university, whether voluntary or at the direction of the university, does not exempt me from payment in full for charges incurred while attending the university. Similarly, simply ceasing to attend courses does not exempt me from the payment of the course or courses. If I decide to completely withdraw from Millersville University, I will follow the instructions at https://www.millersville.edu/registrar/files/studentforms/LOA-WD-form.pdf or in the catalog or other policy which I understand and agree are incorporated herein by reference.
