Jacksonville State University’s fees have remained lower than those charged by most other quality institutions in the state and nation. Small increases are required as costs rise; however, every effort is made to keep fees and charges at a minimum. Payments In order to confirm registration, students must pay all tuition and fees by the published due date, regardless of whether or not the student received a bill. Students who pre-register by the published billing date will be mailed a statement. Payment may be made by one of the following ways: At the Bursar’s Office cashier window, 2nd floor of Bibb Graves Hall, via the web at http://my.jsu.edu, by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover), or by mail with a check or money order (must be RECEIVED in the Bursar’s Office by the published due date). Each student is responsible for knowing all registration and fee payment dates. Long distance telephone charges, traffic fines, library fines, etc., are due when the charge is applied to the student account. Students are expected to meet all financial obligations to the University. The University reserves the right to deny admission and withhold transcripts of any student who fails to meet their financial obligations. Any collection costs or attorney fees necessary for the collection of any debt of JSU will be charged to and paid by the debtor. Questions about charges and refunds should be addressed to the Bursar’s Office. Checks In the event a student presents a check which is not honored by the drawee’s bank, JSU will charge the current maximum returned check fee allowed by law for each returned check. Enforced withdrawal from the University may result if a returned check is in payment of tuition and/or fees. After having two (2) checks returned, privilege of paying by check is forfeited. No counter checks will be accepted. The University is unable to cash personal checks, but will cash money orders or cashiers checks up to $100.00. International Students International students are required each semester to pay tuition, fees and residence hall charges in U.S. dollars to confirm registration. International students must conform to United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) regulations concerning the USCIS Form I-20, section 8, for financial assurance. All international students are also required to carry health and repatriation insurance. Fees The following fees and charges are in effect at this time. However, since the catalogue must be published well in advance of the next school year, it is not always possible to anticipate changes. Thus the Fees and Tuition rates may have to be revised. Every effort will be made to publicize changes as far in advance as possible.
