Payment must reach the Bursar's Office by the payment due date indicated on your billing statement. A postmark prior to the payment due date DOES NOT constitute evidence of having paid on time. You are responsible for paying your billing statement in full by the tuition due date. If you do not have any authorized or enough financial aid to cover your bill in full, your balance should be paid by the due date printed on your statement. Failure to pay the amount due by the payment due date will result in an Administrative/Late Fee of up to $50.00. Additionally, a monthly late fee billing charge of up to $50.00 will be automatically assessed to any unpaid balance. Failure to receive a billing statement will not be accepted as a reason to waive the late payment fee.
Tuition and Fees
Students with unpaid or undeferred charges after the specified drop/add period shall be subject to registration cancellation. In addition, no person shall receive credit or be allowed to re-register, until all tuition, fees and all other charges authorized by the State University have been paid.
Please make your payment payable to SUNY Upstate Medical University
Include your name and student ID number on all checks and correspondence
Return the bottom portion of your billing statement signed and dated with your payment
Please Note: The university will levy a returned check fee of $20 for checks that are returned unpaid by the bank against which they are drawn. In addition, checks returned in payment of your charges after the payment deadline, will also be subject to late fees.
Please note that any change in credit hours may affect your financial aid package.
Additional Notes:
Payment by Financial Aid
Financial aid awards must be accepted before you can receive a deferment. Once given a deferment for funds such as for Perkins, PCL, and other loans, they will not be considered a valid deferment until the promissory note is signed. The prom note must be signed on or before your tuition due date.
Credit Balance
If you have a credit balance on your billing statement, the Bursar's Office will notify you via your Upstate email when the refund is ready for distribution. Again, you must accept your charges before your financial aid can be processed. Otherwise, your refund may be delayed.
Failure to Pay University Charges(Tuition and Other Fees)
No person shall receive credit or other official recognition for work completed satisfactorily, or be allowed to re-register until all tuition, fees and all other charges authorized by the State University have been paid, or University student loan obligation, have been satisfied.
