Tuition and Fees, Room, and Board General Payment Rule
Students are expected to pay by the dates noted below for any portion of their tuition, fees, room and board that will not be covered by financial aid, scholarships, Voc Rehab, VA benefits, or who do not have a payment plan through Tuition Management Systems.
Payment Due Dates
Pre-registered Students
For students who have pre-registered for the semester they plan to attend:
Students Who Are Not Pre-registered Students who have not pre-registered for the semester they plan to attend are required to pay in full for the classes they intend to take prior to registering for any classes. Billing Methods To try to insure that each student receives his or her bill from UNC Asheville, we send the bill to all pre-registered students by two methods. First, we send a bill via e-mail to the student's UNC Asheville e-mail address. Second, we send a paper bill to the student at the "billing" address in the student's Banner record. For the paper bill, it is important that the student's billing address be active and current. If your "billing" address is not current or needs to be changed, please contact the Registrar's office to change your billing address. Payment Plan UNC Asheville offers a monthly payment plan option through a partnership with Tuition Management Systems (TMS). Any student may take advantage of a monthly payment plan through TMS. You may contact TMS at www.afford.com or by calling 1.800.356.8329 to set up a payment plan. Students attending the fall semester must have established a payment plan with TMS by August 1st. Students attending the spring semester must have established a payment plan with TMS by December 15th. Students who miss these dates will not be able to establish a payment plan for the semester and will be expected to make payment in full prior to registering for classes. Health Insurance Requirement All full time undergraduate students (taking 12 or more credit hours) and all full-time graduate students (taking 9 hours or more) are required to have health insurance coverage. Students can meet this requirement by being covered under their own individual health plan or through their parents' plan. Students who have coverage must go to www.studentinsurance.com, provide information regarding the policy under which they are covered, and apply for a waiver of the insurance requirement. Once their insurance information is received, it will be verified. If the insurance information is verified, a waiver for the student will be approved. Students who fail to apply for the insurance waiver or whose insurance coverage cannot be verified will be added to a UNC Asheville group policy, will be charged $305.50 per semester for the health insurance and the charge will be added the student's account, even if they have existing health coverage. Historical Tuition and Fees, Room, and Board The University of North Carolina at Asheville is a publicly supported institution. Tuition payments and other required student fees meet only a part of the total cost of education of students enrolled. On the average, for each full-time student enrolled in an institution of The University of North Carolina, the State of North Carolina appropriated $13,192 per year in public funds to support educational programs offered. The University of North Carolina Board of Governors adopted a plan to make tuition and fee rates for undergraduate North Carolinians predictable and affordable. Pursuant to the Plan, the maximum rate of annual increase for campus-initiated tuition and general fees (Athletics, Heath Services, Student Activities, and Educational and Technology Fees) for undergraduate resident students is 6.5%. Specific information, including maximum allowable increases in tuition and fees per academic year by UNC campus is available at http://intranet.northcarolina.edu/docs/finance/reports/6.5_increase_3years.pdf. Students and parents can also find detailed information concerning the total cost of college at www.cfnc.org.
