Financial Responsibility
Once you have pre-registered for a semester*, the University will mail you a postcard, advising you that your bill is available online through your My SBU account/e-mail. Payment for tuition and fees should be remitted by first day of class. If you select courses after the University's pre-registration deadline, you should expect to pay in full at the time of registration.
*Buffalo Center students - you'll receive your fall or spring semester bill when you start your second class of the semester.
Should you decide to drop a class, do make sure to go through the formal withdrawal process through the registrar's office so that billing can be adjusted accordingly.
