Tuition and Billing Information

Tuition and billing is provided to students electronically on WebSTAC by the Office of the Registrar. Tuition bills are provided once monthly and can ONLY be viewed online under “Billing & Bear Bucks” then “Pay/View My Bill.”

A student’s personal account can also be viewed in real-time status on WebSTAC by viewing “Billing & Bear Bucks” then “Account Inquiry”.

NOTE: The Pay/View My Bill online statement is only updated once monthly, therefore the information may not appear the same under Account Inquiry.

The Process of Applying for and Receiving Aid
