Term Bill & Payment of Fees  
Students registering by November 15, 2007 should receive a bill in the mail. Students registering in person after this date will be handed a term bill at the time of registration.

It is the student's responsibility to contact the Student Accounts Receivable Office (973/353-5423) to obtain, complete and submit their term bill on time if they have not received one by the December 20th Late Registration & Payment deadline. Students are responsible for all tuition and fee payments unless they officially drop the course prior to the first day of classes regardless of whether they attend the class. Not paying the bill does not constitute a withdrawal from the class. The Office of the Registrar will not accept telephone or faxed withdrawals. If you are unable to access WEBREG it is your responsibility to visit the Office of the Registrar in order to make any changes to your registration prior to the first day of the session.

Payment of all tuition and fees must be made according to the dates in the Winter Session Registration Calendar. Checks should be made payable to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The date on which the cashier receives the bill payment is the effective date of payment. Postmark dates will not be considered as payment dates. Bad checks and stopped checks will be charged a $50.00 fee and must be made good. Neither stopping payment, nor a bad check will cancel registration.

Payment by Credit Card
Students who wish to pay their tuition by credit card may do so in person or online. Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit cards. When paying with a credit card in person, the cardholder must be present.

Online Payment System Availability:
