Effective Summer 2009, bills will only be available online through students' my.newpaltz.edu accounts. Paper invoices will no longer be mailed as part of an effort to reduce costs and be more environmentally conscious.
Please follow the steps below to see your semester charges:
- check your SUNY New Paltz email account for an email alerting you that your invoice is available for viewing on my.newpaltz.edu
- log on to your my.newpaltz.edu account
- click on the Student Services tab
- choose the my.studentaccount link
- select the term (semester) which is to be billed
Students should accept their financial responsibilities and pay their accounts online. They can also print and sign a copy of their invoice, and return it to the Office of Student Accounts with payment or payment arrangements. Financial responsibility must be accepted even if there is a credit balance on the bill due to excess financial aid.
Students who are billed Health Insurance have the opportunity to complete the Health Insurance Waiver online if they have their own coverage or are covered by a family member. Waivers may also be printed from the Health Insuance Waivers web page and forwarded to the Office of Student Accounts. The deadline for waivers is the end of the second week of the semester. Waivers received after that period will not be honored.
The Office of Student Accounts will only discuss a student's account with someone the student authorizes. Authorization may be given one of two ways: on paper or online. The paper form Waiver for the Release of Information must be completed, signed by the student, and returned to Student Accounts. The online option is located on the student's my.newpaltz.edu account via the "Student Services" tab. Click on "General," then "Information Release Waiver," and lastly "Add a person." Once a person has been designated, a pop-up screen appears which explains what the release of information entails and provides the authorized individual with a PIN number.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact the Office of Student Accounts at stuacct@newpaltz.edu or 845 257-3150.
