Avoid the Void - Spring 2024

Exciting times are ahead with the upcoming spring semester but let's not forget about the balance deadline. Spring 2024 semester balances must be paid in full or students should be enrolled in the USA Payment Plan by January 4, 2024, to avoid the risk of being voided from their courses. 

Is your student living on campus? Missing the payment deadline could also put students at risk of being removed from their residence hall and/or having their meal plan suspended. 

If you're scratching your head about how your student will cover their spring balance, worry not! Your student can reach out to our USA One Stop team for assistance with exploring potential solutions.

JagSPOT



The upcoming holiday break is a perfect time for your student to explore scholarship opportunities!

By logging in to their JagSPOT portal and completing their general scholarship application, your student can be matched with various scholarships that they may be eligible to apply for. 

Once the Fall 2023 grades officially post, your student may be eligible for additional scholarship opportunities as well.

Remember, this online application system opens annually on September 1st for scholarships that will be awarded for the following academic year.
