What are the responsibilities of the Bursar's Office? One of the main responsibilities of the University Bursar’s Office is the invoicing and collection of tuition, fees, housing and other University related charges. Invoices for the fall semester are mailed out to registered students in July with a payment due date on or about August 11. Invoices for the spring semester are mailed out to registered students in November with a payment due date on December 6th. Exact due dates will be published in the Master Course List and will be on your invoices. Invoices include tuition, fees, housing, and meal plan charges and approved financial aid awards, which are deducted from the balance due. Another responsibility is the processing and mailing of student refunds. Student refund checks are mailed to the student’s permanent address on file with the University. Students can view their permanent address on Gothic Net at http://gothicnet.njcu.edu . It is strongly recommended that you keep your address information current. Due to confidentiality requirements, we cannot disclose information to parents that wish to know information about their son or daughter. He or she is the best source of information for you. We will be as forthcoming as we can and ask your understanding when we tell you we cannot answer a specific question you may have. The University must comply with FERPA (Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act).

New Jersey City University
2039 John F. Kennedy Boulevard Jersey City, NJ 07305- 1597 Attn: Bursar's Office, Hepburn Hall, Room 106 Where will my invoice be mailed? Your invoice will be mailed to the permanent address that is on file with the University. You can view your address on your account in the Gothic Net. Please verify to make sure the address is accurate. When are bills normally due for the semester? For continuing, registered students, invoices for the fall semester will be mailed out in July with a payment due date on or about August 11 and invoices for the spring semester will be mailed out in early November with due date on December 6th. Exact dates can be found in the master Course listings and also on the invoice. Are there payment options other than paying the bill in full by the due date? Yes, there is a monthly payment plan. New Jersey City University, in partnership with Tuition Management Systems, offers the Interest-Free Monthly Payment Option to help students afford education expenses. Instead of large annual or semester payments, this option enables you to pay-as-you-go on a monthly basis, like most other bills. Use savings and income to your advantage by spreading education expenses over 5 or 4 manageable monthly payments. The Interest-Free Monthly Payment Option is not a loan so there are no interest charges. Best of all, it is available to you for an enrollment fee of just $30 per semester. In addition, Education Payment Life Insurance covering the balance of your payment plan amount is also available. Simply request an application upon enrollment.
Please note: A minimum balance of $1,000.00 is required to participate in the payment plan.
Enrolling in this option is quick and easy. Simply enroll on-line at
www.afford.com
. If you prefer to speak to a courteous and professional Education Payment Counselor, simply call toll-free 1-800-356-8329 to get answers to your questions, obtain enrollment forms, or enroll right over the telephone.
Other than tuition, are there mandatory fees I must pay?
Yes. There are mandatory fees that you will be charged each semester. They are: General Service Fee, Student Center Fee, Student Activity Fee, and Technology Fee. These fees are charged to all students and support services for all students to utilize. Tuition and fee rates can be found at: 2007-2008 Tuition & Fee Rates
What if I need more than one bill?
During each billing cycle, only one invoice is generated per student. If you require that bills be sent to more than one address, we suggest that the invoice be sent to you. Additional invoices can be sent to you upon request. You can then forward copies to whatever address you wish. If all or part of your educational expenses should be billed to a sponsor, government or company, the Bursar’s Office needs to be notified and a voucher or promissory letter must be provided. Then the sponsoring agency will receive a separate invoice. Students can also view their student account summary on line at http://gothicnet.njcu.edu at any time and are encouraged to do so. What if my financial aid is not reflected on my bill? Pending items reflect anticipated payments or financial aid amounts, and as such may be subject to change. If anticipated loans do not appear on your invoice as either credits or pending items, it may indicate that certain requirements for these loans have not been completed, and you should contact the Office of Financial Aid at (201) 200-3173 or by e-mail at financialaid@njcu.edu . Current financial aid status can be verified on Gothic Net at: http://gothicnet.njcu.edu . For scholarships or grants from outside the University, you will need to provide documentation of the award to the Bursar’s Office before or on the payment due date for registered students or at the time of registration. The amount will be deferred. It will be the responsibility of the student to make sure those funds are submitted as payment to their account. In the event that those funds are not realized, the student will be responsible for making payment of the difference. Can you tell me when financial aid refunds will be processed? Initial financial aid refunds will be released about 10 days after the drop/add period ends each semester for students who meet all eligibility requirements. You should check your account on Gothic Net at http://gothicnet.njcu.edu to make sure your financial aid has been disbursed and you have a credit on your account. If so, the University has 14 days after your Federal Aid is disbursed to refund you excess monies. Your check will be mailed to the permanent address the University has on file. You must make sure that your address information is current. Please remember, once the check is mailed, New Jersey City University has no control over how long the post office takes to deliver it to you. Am I required to pay the medical insurance charge? All full time undergraduate students are charged for the Student Health Insurance Plan. Under certain circumstances, students may be eligible to waive the insurance charge. Complete information will be sent out to students with information about the deadlines to waive the insurance charge. Insurance waiver forms can be found at http://gothicnet.njcu.edu , and Where do I get my ID card? The University Service Center is now issuing the Gothic Card (Campus Photo IDs) to all Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni, Visitors, Pre-College Programs, Athletic Center users, affiliates, contractors, and vendors. For additional information about the Gothic Card please go to our website at: http://www.njcu.edu/programs/gothiccard/ Do you have the contact numbers for other offices I may need to contact?
