For Fall 2009 semester, the account balance due date is August 21, 2009.

For Spring 2010 semester, the account balance due date is December 15, 2009.

You are required to pay 50% of the current charges listed on the first bill, plus 100% of any past semester charges.

A one-time $30.00 Deferred Processing Fee per semester.

You will receive an updated electronic invoice for the second and third installment and these statements will reflect previous payments and additional charges that have been placed on the account (i.e. financial aid disbursements, personal payments, book charges, etc.). Each installment will reflect the remaining 50% of the charges on the account. Please see the chart below for payment percentages and due dates.

A 2% late fee will be added to student accounts that are not paid by the third payment date of each semester.
If you do not receive a billing statement, contact the Business Office at (231) 591-2125 or Student Services at (231) 591-5242. Not having received a bill in the mail is NOT justification for late payment. A student can also check their account balance online through their MyFSU account by completing the following:
- Click on the Academics & Services tab
- Under Student Records, click on Account Summary by Term
- Click on the term heading (ex. Spring 2007, Jan 8-May 4) to view single semester, including any pending financial aid that has not disbursed to the account

Students who have not paid or have insufficient financial aid to cover the minimum payment (50%) the Monday before classes begin will have their class schedules dropped.

A Business Office hold will be placed on students who have had their classes dropped for non-payment.
Students who are rescheduling will need to have sufficient financial aid or pay fifty percent of the current semester charges and the additional late registration fee of $100.00 if their class schedule has been dropped for non-payment in order for the registration hold to be lifted.

Students who have no registration activity by the end of late registration, will also be charged the late registration fee of $100.00 when registration is completed. These students will also have a Business Office hold placed on their account and will need to have sufficient financial aid or pay fifty percent of the current semester charges to have the hold lifted prior to registration.

If a student is not registered by the deadlines below for the semester, the Business Office registration hold will not be lifted except in cases of a successful appeal to the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs. Appeal forms can be picked up at the Student Service Center, CSS 101. (Appeals must be approved by the VP of Academic Affairs before the student goes to their Deans Office for late registration approval.)
