Link to Fee Payment Procedures for Fall 2008

1. You must meet the minimum payment requirements and/or confirm your attendance (if no monies are owed) by the due date published or your schedule will be cancelled. Failure to receive a statement does not relieve you of your obligation to meet the due date. If you priority register you may pay by mail as long as the University receives the payment by the account payment due date listed below or via the Web. If you choose to pay in person, payment must be made at 211 Student Services Building or 128 University Center.

2. Carefully review your statement and make sure all required charges are included. This particularly applies to appropriate residence hall and meal charges and out-of-state tuition.

3. If you register for less than a full course load, fees will be charged at the semester hour rate and you must pay additional fees immediately when your course load is increased.

Students are responsible for meeting the minimum payment requirements and/or confirming their attendance by the payment deadline whether or not they have received their VOLXpress statement in the mail.

FINAL/LATE REGISTRATION VOLXpress- PAYMENT OF FEES
Your VOLXpress statement will be available for pick up during regular business hours in 211 Student Services Building or 128 University Center immediately after you register for classes. You may also access your charges via the Web at CPO.UTK.EDU. Review your VOLXpress statement to ensure all required charges are included. If no monies are owed, you must confirm your attendance by the published payment due date. This may be done via the Web at CPO.UTK.EDU. Students are responsible for meeting the minimum payment requirements and/or confirming their attendance by the payment deadline.

4. Financial Aid may be applied toward fees and will be based on total number of credit hours on the schedule at close of Priority Registration. If you register during the Final/Late Registration period, you will have your financial aid based on hours carried when you confirm attendance either by payment or completion of the confirmation of attendance form, if fees are paid with financial aid. Excess Financial Aid will be delivered to students after the beginning of each term. These funds will not be available until such time as a student's enrollment has been verified and University fees and charges have been credited or paid. Distribution times and places will be widely published before the beginning of each term. Excess financial aid not picked up will be mailed to your billing address. Special circumstances may require you to go to the Bursar's Office to pick up your loan check(s). Financial assistance must be used for immediate payment of all current term fees. The deferred payment procedure is not permitted when financial aid is available and is sufficient to cover the charges currently due. Financial aid recipients who withdraw from school after registration must immediately notify the Financial Aid Office as well as the Office of the University Registrar. Financial Aid received must be repaid at once if withdrawal occurs during the refund period. Financial Aid checks will not be disbursed to any person other than the payee.

5. Unless specified by the donor, scholarship checks received for the Fall semester of $500.00 or more are split equally between the Fall and Spring semesters. A letter from the donor is necessary to apply the entire amount of the scholarship check to one semester.

6. In the event that a third-party sponsor has not paid your fees by the end of the term, you are responsible for payment of the unpaid balance. The University will withhold all services including grades, transcripts and future registrations, until the balance is paid in full.

7. All receipts are subject to audit. The University reserves the right to correct any errors in fee or rent charges.


ID VALIDATION
Once a payment is made to your account and you confirm your attendance, your student ID will be electronically validated before classes begin. Student ID cards are made at the VolCard Office located at 427 South Stadium Hall (between gates 12 and 13 of Neyland Stadium).
