Drop for Non-Payment

Pay any past due charges on your student account.  Any payment you submit will be applied to these charges first.

Remember to check your account after any change in your schedule or the addition of housing or meal charges.

If you are receiving financial aid or other awards, review your requirements in POUNCE to make sure your financial aid file is complete and that you have satisfied all eligibility requirements for disbursement.

If you are receiving funding from an outside source (i.e., agency, scholarship, sponsor), work closely with them to disburse your funds promptly. If you are paying tuition and fees from personal funds, don’t wait until the last minute.

It you are a TAP recipient, review POUNCE carefully to ensure your balance is clear at the payment deadline as TAP does not cover all of your charges.

If you are applying for in-state tuition classification or for an in-state waiver, please pay close attention to the application deadlines to ensure a decision can be rendered and the account updated prior to the payment deadline.

If you are applying for in-state tuition classification or for an in-state waiver and a decision has not been made at the payment deadline, please plan to make payment for the differential and be reimbursed if the status is later changed.

If you are completing an insurance waiver, please do it well in advance of the payment deadline to ensure the credit to your account. Please plan to make payment of the insurance charge and be reimbursed if the status is later changed.

If you pay with a Credit Card the transaction must go through POUNCE, please complete payment during business hours prior to the deadline in case technical assistance is needed.

If needed, you can apply for an Emergency Loan to assist you with your fee payment.

Be sure to read your Augusta University email and monitor the Augusta University Website and POUNCE to stay informed of your payments and enrollment status.

Revise Non-Degree Progression and Graduation Requirement

If you receive a call from Augusta University regarding an outstanding balance, immediately log in to your POUNCE account to review your account and clear any balance prior to the payment deadline.

Check your balance on the payment deadline and ensure you have a zero or credit balance based on prior payment or Financial Aid.

Make a payment:

• Online: In POUNCE, click on the myBill link, then select "Make a Payment." Pay with electronic check (using bank account information) or credit card.

• In Person: Pay with cash or check at the Campus Cashiering walk-up window in the Business Office-Payne Hall, Summerville Campus.

Enroll in the Nelnet Payment Plan (DPP) and Pay the First Installment.

Check the Status of Your Financial Aid.  If your authorized aid is less than expected, review your checklist to ensure you have completed all Financial Aid requirements.  Contact Financial Aid for assistance.  

Start off the next semester stress-free!  We strongly recommend that you ensure your financial arrangements are in order for the upcoming semester before leaving campus for winter and summer breaks.

If you are dropped for non-payment, you are notified via your Augusta University email address.

Don't delay-take action right away!

Re-register for classes.  However, there is no assurance that your original schedule will be available.

ADD/DROP: You must register via POUNCE If your classes are eligible to be added back to your account, payment is due the same day by 5PM.  If payment if not received, your classes will again be dropped for non-payment.

LATE REGISTRATION: You must complete the Registration Exception Form and return to the Registrar's Office for processing.  If your classes are eligible to be added back to your account, payment is due immediately.  If payment if not received, your classes will again be dropped for non-payment.

Students who are dropped for non-payment, who register after the initial payment deadline for the first time, or who add/drop courses which cause a balance, will be required to pay in full or sign up for an installment plan. The first installment must be paid by the end of add/drop or students run the risk of being dropped from all classes for non-payment.

Keep in mind phone and email response times can be longer than usual during peak periods at the start of term if you need to speak to your advisor or Financial Aid counselor.

If you are applying for in-state tuition classification or for an in-state waiver, please pay close attention to the application deadlines to ensure a decision can be rendered and the account updated prior to the payment deadline.

If you have been dropped for non-payment and no longer plan to attend Augusta University for the semester in question, no action is required.
