    Payment of tuition, university housing, residential dining program charge, ID Fee and decal fees are part of the registration process known as "confirming your schedule".  Payment or "Payment Plan" participation is required before each semester's registration is complete (confirmed). All prior semester charges must be paid before the student's enrollment will be confirmed.
