Fall 2009 New Billing Practices
We are pleased to announce the implementation of a new University billing system. With the implementation of this new system, our ability to serve you and make your life a little easier has become a reality. One of the options we are able to offer this year, is a payment plan for the insurance cost for all students. If you would like to take advantage of the three installment payment plan for the insurance cost, you must register before July 1, 2009. The new system will automatically bill the first installment, but will also give you the ability to pay in full if desired. If you choose to pay the installment, the next two statement will reflect the remaining installment charges. The process involving the insurance cost will be identical to the process you have seen in the past with tuition/fees and housing.
If you have any questions or concerns about the information regarding this process, please call the Student Financial Services office at (970) 491-6321 or e-mail your question by going to sfs.colostate.edu and selecting 'Ask A Counselor'.
Thank you,
