Billing Instructions - Fall Semester

THE FALL 2024 DUE DATE IS FRIDAY, AUGUST 2 @ 4 PM

Listed below is the overall process to complete your billing requirements online. If you’re unfamiliar with this process or have questions, you will find the following information helpful when attempting to complete the required online forms, view your bill, and ensure it is processed by the deadline.

Failure to have your bill processed by the billing due date may result in a $40 late fee and your course schedule being dropped. You are not officially registered for a semester until your bill is processed.

Start Here

Part 1: Complete the Billing Survey

  1. At this point any required survey will pop up preventing you from going further into your UCanWeb until the survey is completed.
    • For more information on the Billing Survey, see the “Required Billing Survey Information” section below.

Part 2: Waive Health Insurance

Before you can waive your health insurance, you must have your SUNY Canton email set up. A 6-digit verification code will be emailed to you that you will need to waive your insurance.

TO WAIVE MEDICAL INSURANCE – The medical insurance charge will only show if you indicated on your survey you are enrolling as a full-time student.

  • Go to the Billing menu in UCANWEB and select ‘Complete Health Insurance Waiver’.
  • You will get a 6-digit verification code emailed to your SUNY Canton email.
  • Complete all steps to confirming you have proper health insurance coverage & enter insurance information to waive this fee.
  • You will receive an email after confirmation stating if your waiver request is approved or denied.

Be sure to read your confirmation email from UHC to make sure you “waived” coverage and did not “enroll”. The charge/credit could take up to one business day to be reflected on your student account. You will not see the change reflected on your billing statement until a new statement is created.

It is up to each student to reach out for assistance should they have questions or concerns on their billing prior to the billing deadline.

If you will not be returning to SUNY Canton, please notify the Registrar as soon as possible in writing by fax 315-379-3819 or email registrar@canton.edu from your SUNY Canton email account. Please be sure to include your SUNY Canton ID number and the term you will not be attending.

*Submitting online materials without payment or payment arrangement does NOT guarantee you will retain your pre-scheduled courses or room assignment.
