A lot of effort is involved in preparation for the first year of college. The Office of Student Accounts-Bursar has prepared a Financial Readiness Checklist to help make things easier for you and your student.
Becoming an authorized user:
One of the most important items is to have your student set you up as an authorized user of his or her student account. Georgetown University bills electronically; paper bills will not be sent by mail. This online authorization will take the student only a few minutes to complete in Student Account Services via MyAccess, and will ensure that you receive email notifications directly whenever a new billing statement (eBill) is available online.
Please note that these email notifications are not the actual eBill; it will be important to log in to Student Account Services and view the eBill. It may contain important messages and details not present in the email notification.
As an authorized user, you will also have access to real-time account information, as well as the ability to make payments and enroll in a payment plan online. Payment Plan enrollment is only available online.
Things you can expect to be included in the eBill:
Student Health Insurance, Campus Housing, Meal Plan, and Financial Aid (if applicable). Please visit the Office of Student Accounts website to learn more about billing for new students, payment options and other useful information.
The fall eBill will be available online in late July, the spring eBill will be available online in mid December. For the academic year 2011-2012, the undergraduate full time tuition rate for a semester is $21,180 and the undergraduate per credit rate is $1,765.
