One half of financial aid awarded to the student will generally be applied to each semester. The student will not be allowed to register for the next semester and credits will not be issued until the account is paid in full. The University reserves the right to withhold statements of honorable dismissal, credits, transcripts and diplomas until all financial obligations have been met with the Business Office.

If you have questions about your meal plan or housing, contact the Residence Life department. If you have questions about your scholarships or loans, contact the Financial Aid office. If you have questions about the bill, contact the cashier in the Business Office at 701-252-3467, ext. 5561.

Paychecks: Student work study checks are distributed by the Business Office around the 10th day of the month. If your student account is clear, you will receive your paycheck through campus mail. Students who wish to apply their entire work program award to their account need to sign an authorization form with the Business Office so the checks can automatically be applied to their account on payday. The check stub and detail statement of the work-study program payments will be mailed.

Personal checks: You may cash a personal check for up to $50 at the Business Office in Taber Hall which is open weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You may also cash UJ Work Study paychecks in the Business Office. You must present your student ID to have a check cashed. There will be a $10 fee for all checks returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF). Students issuing NSF checks may also be subject to additional charges and legal action.
