FAQs

Get to zero; get to register!

In the past, students could register if their balance was below $3,000 but could not start classes or had to vacate their rooms until they completed the enrollment clearance and had a $0 balance.

This led some students to think that they had taken care of their bills by registering. Students then were told at the start of the semester that they had to pay their balance. If they did not, they were not able to move into the residence hall or attend classes.

Now, you must take care of your balance before you register for the next semester. The deadline before the late registration fee is May 9.

  • Review your billing statement. If you do not see your expected financial aid, contact the Office of Financial Aid at 937-376-6579 or financialaid@centralstate.edu. 

  • Review the Academic Calendars for specific registration dates.

  • Look on Banner Self-Service to make sure that you are viewing your most recent statement.

  • Check your bill to make sure that your financial aid has been disbursed, that your payment plan is set up, and that all of your scholarships have been applied. Please seek help from Cash Management and Financial Aid if it doesn’t look right.

  • The late fee is $100 beginning May 10, 2025.

  • We have eliminated the enrollment clearance process. This process was confusing for students. It led some students to think that they were clear to start the next semester once they registered when they actually were not. When they returned in January, they had to quickly resolve their bills to move in. 

  • Look at your billing statement. If you do not see your expected financial aid, make an appointment with the Office of Financial Aid. Call 937-376-6579, email financialaid@centralstate.edu, or stop by the Norman E. Ward Sr. Center.
