Multiple checks should be mailed together to ensure proper and timely posting of the payment.

Zero Bill
If you have a zero ($0.00) tuition bill, you still need to confirm your attendance. Go to My Tuition Bill to complete your registration. You must confirm your attendance before 5 p.m. (central time) on the day of the deadline or your classes will be canceled
Financial Aid
On My Tuition Bill, click View Bill, then if your financial aid fully covers your tuition and fees, click Pay with Financial Aid. Because financial aid funds are not released immediately, your tuition bill will state a balance due until the funds are released.
If the financial aid does not fully cover your bill, the amount due will be reduced accordingly and you will need to pay the balance due by the deadline.
Outside Scholarships
The majority of private donor scholarships are disbursed through the Office of Student Financial Services (OSFS). In most cases, scholarship donors will send checks directly to the university for processing, but not always. Tuition will be adjusted after OSFS processes the scholarship.
