Important Message: Tuition is due on the first day of classes. Payments should be made on or before the first day of class for students to avoid incurring any late charges. The payment amount is the remaining balance reflected on the student’s account once anticipated aid is viewable.
Your current account information may be accessed at any time by visiting: https://my.sunyoptedu.suny.maxburst.dev/
At the beginning of each semester, refunds are generated approximately 2 weeks after the class start date. All refunds are dependent on the aid expected and timing of when these funds are applied to the student’s account.
These notes need a manual signature. You may obtain either note from the Bursar’s Office.
Foreign students who have alternate medical insurance coverage and show proof of such, may receive a waiver of the health insurance fee. The waiver request must be submitted directly to the Registrar in the Office of Student Affairs. A copy with proof is subsequently forwarded to the Accounting Office.
Students are encouraged to sign up for direct deposit of any refund they would be entitled to and, therefore, avoid checks. However, if a student elects to receive a check and it is lost, please contact the Bursar with information about the original check; a stop payment must be placed with the bank before a new check is issued.
Filling out the appropriate form and submitting it to the Bursar would ensure that you would have any refunds put directly into the account you designate.
