Instructions for registration and payment of term bills are sent by mail to all students' home addresses for the first and second terms with due dates indicated. Fall term bills begin mailing the third week in July, for preregistered students, and weekly thereafter, depending on the date of registration. Spring term bills begin mailing the third week in November and weekly thereafter. Students who do not receive a term bill for the fall or spring term should log on to the Rutgers online services at http://www.rutgers.edu and verify their home and email address information through the student online directory. Students may also view their account online and print a term bill at http://www.studentabc.rutgers.edu.

It is the student's responsibility to obtain, complete, and return the term bill on time. Students who fail to do so are charged a late payment fee of $125. In addition, for all balances not paid in full when due, the student is responsible for all costs incurred by the university to collect such debt. This may include, but is not limited to, collection costs, litigation/attorney's fees, and court costs.

Full-time students who are unable to pay in full by the stipulated time may pay their term bills according to the partial payment plan outlined below.

Payment of the term bill may be made in person, by mail, or via the web at http://www.studentabc.rutgers.edu. Checks or money orders should be made payable to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The university also accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards. Cash should not be sent through the mail.

Returned Checks

A service charge of $10 is assessed if a check presented for payment of fee is returned to the university as uncollectible. If the returned check was for payment of the term bill or partial payment, applicable late fees also are assessed on the account.
