Introduction
Term Bill, also referred to as the Statement of Account, is issued for each semester.
When your term bill is available to view online, you will be emailed a notification to access your
E-Bill. In general, fall semester notifications are emailed in July. Fall semester term bills are due
in August. Spring semester e-bill notifications are emailed before Thanksgiving. Spring term bills
are due the first week of January. You are required to submit a Confirmation of Attendance for
each semester you attend, unless you are enrolled in the Rutgers University Tuition Payment
Plan (RUTPP) http://www.studentabc.rutgers.edu/payment_options/rutpp.php#enroll.
If your total balance due is equal to or less than zero and you are not enrolled in RUTPP, you
must still Submit a Confirmation of Attendance to activate your registration and allow your
financial aid, loans, or scholarships to credit to your student account.
If you have a balance due you must make a payment for the remaining balance or enroll in
the RUTPP. Pay special attention to the section on Payment Adjustments.
This guide is provided to assist you with submitting the term bill. Use the legend on page four to
assist you. The complete Billing Instruction is also included in this guide. The Billing Instruction
can also be found online by clicking “Term Bill Information (help)” once you login to your
Statement of Accounts at https://finservices.rutgers.edu/otb/.

Options is displayed. You are able to reduce your Principal Payment by claiming
certain adjustments. Check only those adjustments that apply to your account and

Payment Adjustments.
How to calculate adjustment credits:
1. FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS
Compare the aid listed on your account to the amount of aid listed on the
Financial Aid Award status screen (https://www.acs.rutgers.edu/faaward). If
your Fall semester financial aid is greater than the aid listed on your account
summary, you may reduce the Amount Due by the amount of increased aid
awarded. If you subsequently decline or fail to qualify for any portion of the
aid awarded you will be required to make an additional payment. For
additional information regarding your financial aid, visit their website
(http://studentaid.rutgers.edu) or call the Financial Aid office in: New
Brunswick (848) 932-7057, Newark (973) 353-5151, or Camden (856)
225-6039.
If your account shows a balance, but you have received financial aid, student
loans, contracted for a payment plan, have a third party payment, or have
tuition remission that completely covers the balance due on your account, you
will need to do the following:
Print your term bill, make any adjustments, include any required documents
that cover the balance, and return to:
Student Accounting Services

2. NJPIRG
The New Jersey Public Interest Research Group (NJPIRG) is a nonprofit,
nonpartisan public interest organization founded in 1972. This is a voluntary
funding item. If you have been charged for NJPIRG and you do not wish to
pay this fee, please check the box and deduct the fee from the Amount Due.
For additional information regarding the NJPIRG organization, visit their
website at www.njpirg.org.
3. RU/UAS TUITION PAYMENT PLAN (RUTPP)
If your UAS semester contract appears on your term bill and does not
completely cover your entire term bill charges please pay the amount due. If
you have enrolled in the RU Tuition Payment Plan and it does not yet appear
in your account summary, you may adjust the Amount Due by the amount of
your semester contract. To enroll in the plan or for more information, visit
http://studentabc.rutgers.edu/payment_options/rutpp.php .

from the Amount Due. Please also provide documentation on company
letterhead with all contact information supporting the scholarship or third
party payment arrangement and mail to:
