Term Bill Instructions
Your online term bill statement serves as the official term bill of the university. The due date for your
term bill can be found on the Account Summary screen of your online Student Statement of Account, as illustrated below.
The Registration process is not complete until a student either pays the term bill, confirms his or her attendance online (for students who have a zero or credit balance due), or enrolls in the University's partial payment plan (RUTPP).
All account balances not paid in full when due are the sole responsibility of the student. The student is responsible for all costs incurred by the university to collect such debt. This may include, but is not limited to, late fees, collections costs, litigation/attorney's fees, and court costs.

If your Spring semester financial aid is greater than the aid listed on your account summary, you may reduce the Amount Due by the amount of increased aid awarded. If you subsequently decline or fail to qualify for any portion of the aid awarded you will be required to make an additional payment. For additional information regarding your financial aid, visit their website (http://studentaid.rutgers.edu), view Financial Aid TV (FATV), or call the Financial Aid office in: New Brunswick (848) 932-7057, Newark (973) 353-5151, or Camden (856) 225-6039.
