THE FEE PAYMENT PROCESS

At Macon State College we strive to maintain a fee payment process that simplifies fee payments for students, improves communication about deadlines between students and the Business Office, and encourages students to finalize registration before classes begin.  The major points of the process are listed below, but remember, if you ever have any questions about the fee payment process or your payment status, please call the Business Office at 471-2705 or stop by the Payment Center in the Student Life Center.

• Students' classes will be automatically secured when sufficient aid to cover tuition and fees is awarded.  To check payment status, go to Banner Web to confirm award status.
• To better inform students of approaching deadlines, the Business Office will send postcard notifications, along with emails, to students who have not completed the payment process.
• To encourage students to register before classes begin, a late payment fee of $50 will be assessed for students registering on or after the first day of class.
• Schedules of students who have not completed the fee payment process will be automatically cancelled at the close of business on the published payment deadline. 

To ensure that you are aware of all payment deadlines, check your campus email account early and often! Here are some more helpful hints to help you navigate through the process:

• Complete your financial aid process EARLY so that your award is posted prior to the payment deadline.
• Don't wait until the payment deadline to check your financial aid status in case something is needed to complete your file!  Check your status on Banner Web.
• Make sure you register BEFORE classes begin!

If you have any questions,  please call the Business Office at 471-2705 or stop by the Payment Center in the Student Life Center.  We're here to help you!
