领奖后

At this point you should have received your 奖的通知. Once you receive your 比尔, it should tell you the exact amount due for your first semester. 你的 奖的通知 is not the same thing as your 比尔.

请注意以下事项:

  • We do not mail paper 比尔s—比尔s are sent electronically to your BC email address.
  • All charges are semester-specific and reflect current registration for that semester.
  • Athough the 比尔 is for one semester of charges, you should make a financial plan that accounts for the entire academic year.
  • The aid reflected on your 奖的通知 is based on information you reported to 电子游戏软件 and the Federal Government.

If either your current registration or what you reported is expected to change, please let us know so that we can provide more accurate information.

检查你的估算

Assuming your registration is the same for the fall and spring semesters and that you will waive the health insurance, doubling your fall 比尔 is a good way to get a second estimate of what you will need 这一年. If you are taking summer classes don't forget to include them in your estimate as well.
