CHANGES TO ROWAN UNIVERSITY’S BILLING PROCESS

SPRING 2012 SEMESTER (201220-TERM)

 

Dear Students and Parents:

 

Rowan University is making important changes to the billing process.  Please read this letter carefully to ensure that the new billing process and procedures are understood.

 

Paper bills will no longer be mailed to students.  Currently, Rowan University provides students with computerized solutions for student services such as online registration, class schedules, financial aid award letters, and grades.  Since the technology has proven to be efficient, convenient and cost-effective, the University has moved all billing services to an online environment as well.  

 

The online bill is the student’s official bill.  Students are responsible for making payments by the published due dates.  Critical financial deadlines are available on the Bursar’s web page at http://www.rowan.edu/bursar.

 

To access an online bill, make a payment, or access a schedule, go to www.rowan.edu/selfservice.  Choose “Access Banner Services,” and log in using the student’s Rowan ID number and pin number.

  • To access an online bill, click on “Bursar Services,” then choose “Official Billing/Account Statement.”
  • To make a payment, click on “Bursar Services,” then choose “Make a Payment” to be directed to the secure payment site.
  • To access a student schedule, click on “Student and Financial Aid,” choose “Registration,” then choose “Concise Student Schedule.”

 

Parents or guardians in need of access to a student account must first obtain the Rowan ID number and pin number from the student.

 

Students should review their online accounts regularly.  Failure to make a payment by a published due date may result in the student’s account being placed on hold, the cancellation of classes, and/or the loss of housing assignment or meal plan.  For these reasons, all students are advised to periodically view their online bill, especially if recent changes have been made to the student’s class schedule, room or meal plan.  The online bill is available anytime you have access to the Internet, even when the registration process is closed or unavailable.

 

All notices concerning bills will be sent to the student’s Rowan University e-mail account.  The University maintains an e-mail account for every enrolled student.  Students are responsible to confirm their Rowan e-mail accounts are active and available to receive notices and communications from Rowan administrative offices and professors.  Once a student’s Rowan e-mail account has been activated, he/she can have the e-mail forwarded to another e-mail address.  However, students remain responsible for accessing and reading any messages sent by the University to their Rowan e-mail account.

 

The online billing statement for the 2012 Spring Semester will be posted and available for review during the week of November 14, 2011.  The University will notify students of the official due date by an e-mail sent to their Rowan e-mail account.  Payment due dates will also be posted on the Bursar’s web site at http://www.rowan.edu/bursar.

 

Again, please note that failure to pay by the posted due date may result in cancellation of the student’s 2012 spring semester classes.  If you have any questions, please contact the Bursar’s Office at bursar@rowan.edu.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

John Baglio, Bursar

 

Students to be billed for additional credits
Students have enjoyed the benefit of being able to pay a set full-time tuition and fee rate whether taking 12 credits or 20. During the past several years, the University experienced an increasing number of students taking more than the average 15 credits, creating a situation where students taking fewer credit hours were subsidizing the classes of those taking a considerably higher number of credits each term.

In order to maintain a level of flexibility in scheduling yet bring equity to the system, Rowan will charge one rate for matriculated undergraduate students taking 12 to 17 credits. Students who take more than 17 credits will have to pay a per-credit charge for every additional credit.

Engineering majors to pay $250 fee
“US News and World Report” ranked Rowan’s engineering program 20th in the nation for undergraduate engineering education this past year. While we are proud of this fact, engineering programs cost universities more to offer than virtually all other academic disciplines. To defray some of the increased cost, Rowan will charge full-time engineering majors a $250 fee each semester (part-time students will pay $20 per credit). The increased fee will help us maintain the College of Engineering’s high standards.

Dropped-course/withdraw refund change
Throughout the years, Rowan University has had a very liberal dropped-course/withdraw refund policy. Students have been able to receive a sizeable refund for a dropped course or withdrawal even after attending class for several weeks. We found that students sometimes registered for more courses than they should, allowing them to sample courses before committing to them. That practice, in turn, eliminated an available seat for a student who might have needed the course to graduate on schedule.

The new policy will eliminate refunds after the drop/add period. Students who drop a course during the 7-day drop/add period will continue to receive a 100-percent refund. Those who withdraw after that period will not receive a refund.

Fees combined on semester bill
Rowan collects a number of fees that enable Rowan to provide a variety of much-needed services throughout the University. This year we have combined those fees into one line on the term bill described as “University Fee.” To view the categories that make up the University fee, visit www.rowan.edu/adminfinance/bursar/tuition/
