All students will receive an automatic email notifying once the bill is available. Students will then be able to view the eBill online through their myHeliotrope account. We do not mail paper bills out.
Once the bills are released, students can sign up for payment plans and waive the medical insurance. Please review our Dates and Deadlines page for further important information.
Simply log on to myHeliotrope and you will find the “View my Semester eBill” box located in the Student Accounts tab. You will need to use your Purchase credentials to log in. Review, download, and save your eBill for future reference. You can also e-mail your eBill to your parent/guardian or to companies that need a copy of your semester charges such as college savings plans, military or employee benefits and private insurance proof of semester activity.
Foreign Students must contact the Office for Global Education. You must provide proof of coverage on or before the deadlines indicated in your eBill. Providing your health insurance coverage is required every year to successfully waive the college coverage.
