Question:
1. I have
credit on my account. How do I get that money?
|
Answer:
You may request a check to clear your account.
Forms are available in the accounting office or online on the Accounting office website.
Requests must be received by 12:00 pm Wednesday to receive
a check after 1:30 pm Friday. Only one check per semester is
allowed except when additional financial aid is transferred.
A financial review is made before any funds are released. |
| 2. I use NELNET for monthly payments and I have a credit balance. Why can't those credit funds be released to me? |
If you use the monthly payment plan, funds are received monthly as you make your payment. Thus, until the contracted amount is paid in full and Goshen College has received the funds, the excess cannot be returned to you. You may contact the Accounting Office and the contract can be adjusted at no charge. |
| 3. Can I use the credit on my account
to pay for books? |
During the first week of each semester
Bookstore Vouchers are available for students who show a
credit balance on their billing forms. The vouchers are
available during Final Check In and
in the Accounting Office during the following week. |
| 4. My account was supposed to be
paid in full. Why does it show there is a balance due? |
Check your statement of account against
your financial aid award letter. If an award amount is not
showing on your account, contact the Financial Aid office.
|
| 5. What are the finance charges
on my account? |
Your account balance must be paid in
full by the due date for each semester.
If your balance is not paid in full, finance charges are
assessed on the balance owing until the account is paid
in full.
|
| 6. What is the $50 late check in
fee?...$50 late payment fee? |
All students must go through Final Check In
on Final Check In Day. A $50 late check in fee is charged
to any student who does not go through check in on Final
Check In Day but checks in later during the week. A $50 late
payment fee is charged when a student does not make the
required payment by the due date each semester. The due dates for the 2008-09 school year are August 14 for Fall semester and December 18 for Spring semester. |
| 7. Why does my church aid or church
aid match not show on my account? |
Church aid is applied to the account
when the check is received from the church. Contact your
church to see if the check has been sent. Church aid match
is applied to the account after the church aid check has
been received and processed. If the church aid shows but
not the match, contact the Financial Aid office. |

personal or payroll? |
