| 1.) |
What are my payment options? |
| |
Princeton
bills on a terms basis: the fall portion is typically due by August
17 and the spring by January 17. Late fees will apply after this
due date. Exceptions are not made for late or pending aid/loan
awards. To pay on monthly basis, Princeton offers a short-term
(repayment over 12 month) installment plan called the Monthly
Payment Plan, and a long-term (repayment over 14 years if a freshman) loan
program called the Princeton Parent Loan program.

| 2.) |
What happens if I do not pay on time? |
| |
All
payments are expected to be timely. Late accounts will be subject
to interest penalties. Non-payment can also affect registration
privileges and the student’s continued enrollment.

|
| 3.) |
When do I see private scholarships on my Student Account? |
| |
Students
who do not receive financial aid through Princeton’s Undergraduate
Financial Aid Office can receive advance credit for outside scholarships
by identifying these awards on the Scholarship Information
Sheet.
The signed form authorizes Princeton to cash the donor check and
allows your account to benefit from the credit before it is received.
Forms must be completed each academic year and can be dropped off
or mailed to 701 Carnegie Center, Suite 161 Princeton, NJ 08540. Complete the form even if you have confirmed
that the scholarship donor has mailed the checked.

| 4.) |
Why do I see a charge for the Student Health Plan on the bill? |
| |
All
students must be covered for off-campus health care. Those that
do not reply to the Waiver/Enrollment forms mailed by the University’s
Health Services department will be automatically enrolled in Princeton’s
Student Health Plan. Changes to enrollment status are authorized
by the Health Services department. Student Health Plan questions
should be emailed to shpo@princeton.edu or visit their site at
http://www.princeton.edu/puhs/ for additional information.

|
| 5.) |
Why
do I see a charge for the Transcript Fee on
the bill? |
| |
Rather
than charge a per-transcript fee, the University now charges all
freshman a one-time fee. There will be no additional charges for
transcript requests now, or after graduation.
|
|
| 6.) |
When
can I claim my student account credit? |
| |
Credits may be reflected
on your statement; however, credits cannot be processed until after
the start of the term for which the credit applies. In addition,
credits for outside Stafford Loans cannot be processed until Princeton
receives the loan proceeds from the lender. All credit request instructions
must be submitted by the student. Students can email instructions
using the Credit Request Form.
