CARS billing

<p>It says the first payment of 5k or so is due on August 15?
And if our financial aid is disbursed a week before school... would that be August 16?
If so, wouldn't our payment be late?</p>

<p>If I do have the 5k, should I just pay it now?</p>

<p>The bill isn’t technically due til Sept 15, which is when you get charged a late fee for not paying your bill. It doesn’t hurt to wait around til Sept 1 and if your aid hasn’t been processed, then pay the bill to avoid the late fee.</p>

<p>I heard aid is dispersed one week before school starts</p>

<p>Does Financial Aid get dispersed a week before instruction starts or a week before the Fall Semester begins?</p>

<p>Either way, it doesn’t matter because that’s well before Sept 15 when your bill is really due. Wait for the aid, then if it doesn’t cover everything by Sept 1, pay your bill.</p>

<p>It is usually applied internally around the first week of the official semester start. Refunds are generally processed within a week of the start of instruction. Delays often happen, however, in which case you won’t see any refund until later, according to the delay.</p>
