FAQ: Spring 2013 Centralized Registration

UNO uses the WebSTAR system for student account management. Many of the tools and

How much is tuition?
This information located under Tuition and Fees. There are two different Fee Schedules
on for Undergraduates and one
for Graduates.
Where can I find a detailed explanation of the fees on fee bill?
We know the fee structure can seem a little complicated. You can view the descriptions
of UNO's course fees on the Bursar Office's under the Tuition and Fees section of
our website.
When will my fee bill be available, and how do I receive it?
Students can view their fee bill on WebSTAR immediately after their classes are scheduled.
Fee Bills are no longer mailed, and are sent to the student's UNO email account. Failure
to receive a fee bill does not warrant exemption from penalties for nonpayment or
any other restrictions. Students are responsible for satisfying all payment requirements
and neglecting to make payments by deadlines may result in administrative action.
Please note that you do not need a fee bill to pay for your account balance.
How can I view my account summary page on WebSTAR?
Once logged onto WebSTAR, go to Self Service – Campus Finances – View Account Summary.
How can I make a payment?
Students can make cash or check payments at the Office of Bursar Operations located
in Room 1006 of the Administration Building. VISA/ Mastercard, American Express, and
Discover payments are accepted online through WebSTAR. Wire transfers are also accepted.
To learn more about wire payments check in the Holds, Withdrawals and Fees section
of this website.
Students can mail payments to the attention of the Office of Bursar Operations at
the University of New Orleans. If a check is mailed, please include the student ID
number on the check and a valid phone number.
Students can make a credit card or electronic check payment via WebSTAR. Please note only Visa/ Master Card, American Express and Discover are accepted on
WebSTAR.
When is the payment deadline for the Spring 2013 term?
All students must have their fee bills paid in full by 4:30 pm on January 4th, 2012
to prevent their class schedule from being purged (canceled).
What happens if I do not pay my balance owed to UNO?
If a student's balance is not paid in full by the published due dates, their class
schedule will be purged (canceled). Check the UNO Calendar under the category "Academic"
and "Application Due Dates". Dates are also listed on the Registrar Office's website
and under "Important Dates" within this website.
Will anticipated aid hold my class schedule?
A student's class schedule will not be canceled if their anticipated aid is more than
their balance owed. If the anticipated aid only covers a portion of the balance, the
student is responsible for paying the remaining balance by the published due dates.
What do I do if my Financial Aid is not on my account?
You should contact the financial aid office by phone or by email if your aid is not
showing on your
student account.
Is there a payment plan for the Spring term?
Yes, there is a payment plan for the Spring semester called the Extended Payment Plan
Option (EPPO). The EPPO allows students to pay a minimum of 50 percent of the total
balance required by the designated payment deadline (January 4th to avoid the late
fee and prevent classes from being purged). The remaining balance will be due on March
1st. If a student does not satisfy their minimum financial obligation by the published
final due date, the student's classes will be purged.
A promissory note must be on file in the Office of Bursar Operations for each semester
a student participates in the EPPO. The promissory note is located on WebSTAR and
in the Accounts Receivable Office.
A $50.00 non-refundable EPPO Fee will be assessed to all students who choose the EPPO.
If you do not elect the EPPO and only pay the minimum balance due by the published
due date, you will still be charged the $50 non-refundable EPPO fee.
Do I need a parking decal for the Spring semester and if so, how much does it cost?
A parking decal is required for the Spring 2013 semester. The Spring decal is $85.00
and is valid through the Summer 2013 term. Additional decals are $43.00.
Can my excess financial aid pay for a parking decal?
Yes, excess financial aid can pay for a parking decal. A representative from the Office
of Bursar Operations can add the decal to your student account. Once the decal is
added, you can pick up the decal from Campus Police. A Title IV form must be on file
with the Office of Bursar Operations in order to have your financial aid pay for the
decal. Please bring the completed form with you to the Office of Bursar Operations
if you have not completed
one already.
How do I receive a book voucher for the spring semester?
In order to receive a Bookstore Voucher, you must be a financial aid recipient for
the semester and meet the following criteria:
- The anticipated aid reflected on your account is $100.00 more than the amount owed
to the university.
- A Title IV Authorization Form must be completed and on file with the Office of Bursar
Operations.
Each semester, students will be notified if they qualify for a bookstore voucher through
their UNO e-mail. The e-mail will provide the amount of the voucher and the specific
dates the voucher can be used. If you have any questions about UNO's Bookstore Voucher
program, please contact the Accounts Receivable Office.
When will excess financial aid refunds be issued?
Refunds for excess financial aid will be issued within 14 days from when the aid is
posted to a student's account.
How will I receive my refund?
Students are informed by their UNO email regarding information on their refunds and
are encouraged to enroll in our Direct Deposit Program. Enrolling in this program
will prevent your refund from being delayed. To register in the program, you will
need to complete a Direct Deposit Authorization Form. If you are already enrolled
in the Direct Deposit Program, your bank account stays on file so there is no need
to resubmit another authorization form. If you change bank accounts, you will have
to submit a new authorization form with your new
bank information.
If direct deposit is not set up, a check will be processed and students will have
14 days to pick it up at the Office of Bursar Operations. If the check is not picked
up within 14 days, it will be mailed to the student's mailing address on WebSTAR.
If I withdraw from the University or drop a portion of my classes, will I receive
a refund?
Please refer to the Important Dates section for information on dropping classes.
What do I do if my Graduate Assistantship (GA) is not on my fee bill?
If a GA award is not on your fee bill, please contact the Graduate School. All GA
students are responsible for paying their course fees by the published due dates.
If a GA award is not on a student's fee bill and the late fee or purge deadline is
approaching, please contact the Office of Bursar Operations to ensure the correct
amount is paid and administrative action is not taken.
What do I do if my GI Bill or 3rd party payment is not showing on my fee bill?
Please call or e-mail the Bursar Third Pary Administrator if your GI Bill or 3rd party
payment is not showing on your fee bill.
What do I do if my National Guard exemption or employee tuition waiver is not on
my fee bill?
Please contact the Financial Scholarship Officer by phone or by e-mail for all National
Guard and employee tuition waiver questions.
How do I remove a registration hold from my account?

hold.
- For immunization hold questions, please contact UNO's Student Health Services Office.
- If you have an advising registration hold, please contact your college or adviser.
- Call the Perkins Loan Coordinator if the registration hold states you have a defaulted
Perkins Loan.
Can I receive a meal plan during the Spring term?
Meal plans are offered throughout the academic year.
If you have excess financial aid and want your aid to pay for your meal plan, please
visit the bursar counter to complete the proper paperwork. A Title IV form must be
on file with the Office of Bursar Operations in order to have your financial aid pay
for the meal plan. To expedite time, bring the completed Title IV form with you to
the Bursar Counter if you have not completed one already.
