When does the bill come?

<p>My oldest child committed to attending a private LAC in late April. I anticipated receiving correspondence regarding payment plans soon afterward. To date, I've heard nothing. When should I expect to hear something from the school, and when should I expect the first payment to be due?</p>

<p>July or sometimes not until August in my experience</p>

<p>just touched base with my S14 intended school…they don’t send a bill until September (payment due in some form or other at the end of that month) .</p>

<p>Does your school have a bursar portal? My kid received a link of a to do list for freshman few years back. One of the to dos was to sign up for monthly payment plan. I decided on the 12 months plan, which started in May. </p>

<p>I would check with your kid to see if he/she received any notifications from the school.</p>

<p>Thanks, Oldfort, she’s not the most communicative, so I’ll check with her. I’m also hoping that it will be seamless to set up a payment plan between our 529 plan and the school.</p>

<p>Emerson 6/30 accept your financial assistance statement, 8/1 pay your tuition bill</p>

You should pay yours (other than the scholarship and financial aid) before the classes started. Check with the school. Your first payment should be the commitment deposit by May 1.</p>

<p>We got our first e-bill in July. </p>

<p>At both my kids’ schools, their permission was required to grant me access to a parent payment portal. Make sure your daughter reads all the communications from the cashier’s office so this step doesn’t get neglected. </p>

<p>If you are attending an orientation over the summer, this topic is usually addressed there, too.</p>

<p>Every school is different. Don’t worry, they will find you!</p>

<p>For my kids payment was due approximately the week before classes started so mid-August. The bursar’s office will love if you call and ask how and when to pay. </p>

<p>Simmons says bill is coming Aug 1 (or is that due August 1) but if you want equal pay option the first pay is due July 1 so call to get the bill. I’m a bit confused but I believe happy1: they will find me. </p>

<p>Yes, you all were right. They found me. July 22nd, but relieved we only pay one semester at a time, which makes sense, but I never really thought about it. Thanks, everyone.</p>
