Fort Valley State University

Your student account is comprised of charges for tuition, fees, housing, meals and any payments applied to your account. Deposits, bookstore charges, insurance and fines may also affect the amount due on your account. Please review your student account often via BannerWeb so that you are aware of all charges, payments and/or adjustments to your account.

Third Party Billing

A student whose tuition or a portion of the tuition and fees are paid by a third party must make sure that the Student Accounts Office receives a letter or voucher from the agency prior to registration. The letter or voucher must have all necessary signatures. It must list the student’s name, social security or the FVSU student ID number, the total amount the agency is agreeing to pay, and the time period during which the agency will sponsor the student. The letter or voucher should also indicate if the agency takes into consideration other aid applied to the student’s account. The name, billing address and telephone number of the contact person at the agency responsible for payment should also be listed.
An invoice will be mailed to the agency approximately four to eight weeks after the first day of class. If the agency fails to pay the invoice, the student will be responsible for the total amount due on the student’s account.

Payments

Tuition and fees are due before the first day of class. Payments may be made by cash, check, credit or debit card. Checks must be made payable to Fort Valley State University and drawn on a financial institution located in the United States. The university does not accept counter checks and reserves the right to determine the acceptability of all checks. There is a $25 return check fee for any check returned due to insufficient funds. All payments are receipted in the Cashier’s Office.

Refunds

Students receive refunds for overpayments or withdrawal from the university. Students who complete and submit a withdrawal form are refunded on a pro-rated basis for the current term in accordance with the University’s refund policy. Please note that withdrawal from the university does not always signify a refund to the student.

Refunds are disbursed on a weekly basis. Your Higher One Card must be activated in order to receive your refund. Please go to EasyRefund.com to activate your card.

Account Receivables Holds

An AR hold is placed on your account if you have an amount due to the university. The hold will prevent you from receiving services including receiving grades, registering for another semester, ordering a transcript and graduation.
