Fee Payment Information

Housing Payment, Account Balance and Move-In

Students who have a room assignment may complete their room check-in process on the specified move-in date if they have current class schedule in place and their account balance is paid in full (or a payment plan is in place for the remaining balance) by the University's established payment deadline.  A student's class schedule and housing contract may be cancelled for nonpayment and a housing termination fee may be assessed. 

Note for New Freshman Students:  Students are still subject to the Freshman Live-on Campus Requirement and related course load restriction in the event of a housing contract termination (unless a live-on requirement exemption has been granted).

Nelnet Payment Plan Option

As a convenience, Clayton State University offers students payment plan options through Nelnet.   Nelnet Payment Plan Information
