Tuition? What Tuition!?

So it's Friday morning (May 23rd), say 3am'ish and I'm thinking "OMG...did we pay all of tuition?! (Not sure why this thought just dawned on me, but it did) I freak out and start googling when tuition was due -- May 16th. I'm thinking "Oh crap!" I quickly try to log into my account to view my tuition bill...of course they are doing maintenance. *side eye* 

Usually, I always get an email notifying me that my bill has been posted to my account, but this time I did not for whatever reason. Since I filled out my Hazelwood for the summer, most of my fees were paid. However, the extra fees universities like to add are not covered (i.e., medical fee, recreational fee, etc.). Anyways, since I couldn't access my account I kept telling myself, "Rest now, worry later!" When I woke up it was between 8 and 9am, so I decided to check my tuition bill again. It said that I still owed $132 *whew*... not too bad!

I called Student Business Services (SBS) and asked them about the late fee I would need to pay. The woman who answered the phone said that our accounts have yet to be audited and that I should be fine as long as I paid the rest of my balance that day! What a relief!!!! I will be checking my account again this week to make sure no late fee charges pop up and if any do that I take care of them immediately.

Definitely not a mistake I want to make again!!

Note to self: Don't rely on SBS to send you an email notifying you of your bills. It is your own responsibility. (Duh Bemo, what were you thinking!??) 

CLASSES START IN ONE DAY...AHHH!!!!
