Two lists will be posted on the website noted above on Thursday, August 21, 2008, after 4:00 p.m.  If your name is on the Registration Complete list, you do not have to attend registration.  If your name is on the Registration Incomplete list or does not appear on either list, you will need to complete registration on Monday, August 25 by following the instructions on the website.

Any student whose name does not appear on either list who fails to check in with the Business Office during the registration period will be charged a $100 late check-in fee.

Tips to ensure a Complete Registration Status:

• Student has enrolled in desired classes with the Office of Records.
• Student has completed and returned all financial aid documents by the deadlines for processing.
• All loans, including Alternative loans, must be guaranteed as of registration date to be included as part of your payment. Parent PLUS loans will not be included as part of your payment unless the loan has already been guaranteed.
• Millsaps Plan payments must be current, and all miscellaneous charges must be paid in full.
• Required forms included with the billing statement have been completed and returned.
• For payment in full, check was received in the Business Office by July 31
• For the deferred payment plan, arrangements were made with the Business Office and first payment was made by July 31. Student must sign a payment agreement prior to the due date or at registration.

Payment Options for Fall 2008 Semester:

• Payment in full for semester - Payment shown on the billing statement must be received by July 31, 2008 for student to have a complete status.
• Deferred Payment Plan - Consists of two equal payments for the semester. To compute your payment amount, add $50 fee for this plan to the balance shown on your statement and divide by 2. These payments are due July 31and October 1. Any account not paid in full by the due date will be charged a $50 late payment fee. The student may come to the Business Office by July 31 to sign a payment agreement. If the payment agreement is not signed prior to this date, it will need to be signed at registration, and the student will have an incomplete status. This plan must be renewed each semester.

If payment arrangements are not made by the date of registration and there is an outstanding balance due, you will automatically be enrolled in the deferred payment plan. Your account will then be charged the $50 fee for the deferred plan in addition to any other applicable fees
