50.1.5 Bill Payment
The Office of Student Accounts generates bills monthly and can be viewed on UCanWeb through the Transact Payment Portal (billing and payment system) for tuition and fees based on class registration and other charges assessed to the student account, such as room and/or dining. All notifications are sent via email to the student’s SUNY Canton email address. Initial semester bills are generated approximately 30 days prior to the due date.
A student’s bill is required to be processed by the bill due date, which is shown on the tuition bill. Payment arrangements made after the bill due date will be subject to a $40 late payment fee and loss of prescheduled classes. Students are encouraged to contact the Student Service Center if they have difficulty meeting the deadline for assistance.
