Fall 2010 Billing Statement Information

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

The billing statements for the fall 2010 semester are now available. Please log in to your EMPOWER ME account to view your bill. If you do not have pending financial aid, your bill must be paid in full by Wednesday, September 15th, 2010. If you would like to set up a payment plan, please contact the Business Office no later than September 1, 2010.

Payments may be made online on your EMPOWER ME account using a debit or credit card. You may pay in person in the Business Office by cash, check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover.

You may notice that your bill is a bit different this semester. Mercy College has simplified the fee structure and has collapsed more than 100 separate program fees, activity fees, course fees and graduation fees into a single general fee. The general fee is $22.00 per credit hour and there will be no extra charges added other than books, housing or payment plan fees.

This will allow students to budget more precisely and will help to avoid the financial burden of paying for fees added later in the semester.

If you have any questions regarding your bill, please feel free to contact the Business Office at 419-251-1726 or by email at diane.rahn@mercycollege.edu
