Students will be notified through ACHE email to review account information once charges are applied to their account. Students will access their detailed billing information through the Student Portal. Payments are due in full within 30 days of the billing date unless special arrangements have been made with the Office of the Bursar. ACHE does not treat institutional waivers as a payment of tuition and fees. The student will only be assessed the actual charges they will be responsible for. Tuition, fees, and student housing (if applicable) must be paid with personal funds, scholarships, or other financial aid funds by the due date. The due date will be determined by the Office of the Bursar and is included in the billing notification email sent to the student each semester. Balances unpaid by the due date are subject to transcript hold and a late fee. The amount of the late fee will be $100 or 3.5% of the outstanding balance, whichever is greater. Late payments or failure to make special arrangements with the Bursar to pay tuition by 5 p.m. on the payment due date may result in the student being removed from enrollment. Failure to meet obligations for tuition, fees, and other financial responsibilities in a timely manner may result in dismissal from ACHE. Payments may be paid with checks, payable to ACHE, or electronically via the Student Portal. A credit card processing fee will be incurred if paying electronically.
