Fall 2023 Avoid the Void


Have your student mark their calendar - August 16th is the payment deadline for Fall 2023! Be sure your student's balance is paid in full or they are enrolled in the payment plan to void the risk of being voided from their courses.


Missing this payment deadline may put students living in USA Housing and/or who have a meal plan at risk of removal and/or suspension of their meal plan.  


If your student has any questions, have them contact our USA One Stop team. We are always here to help in any way we can!
