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. Students who do not receive a term bill by July 15 for the fall term and by December 5 for the spring term should notify their local student accounting office promptly.

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. The student is responsible to pay all costs incurred by the university to collect any unpaid balance. This may include, but is not limited to, collection costs, litigation/attorneys fees, and court costs.

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 are preferred and should be made payable to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Cash should not be sent through the mail. Payment can also be made by Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card. Transactions which are declined by the bank are considered unpaid and are returned to the student. Refunds of credit card payments will be processed with a check issued by Rutgers to the student.
