Bursar's Office News
2025 1098T Tax Statements are now available for Students and Delegated Access Users to view and print through the SPIRE system. Statements are distributed online.
Bills for the Spring 2026 semester are available online through SPIRE for undergraduate and graduate students who have registered for Spring semester classes. Bills were created on January 9th; any activity after that date will be updated on the student's account, but not on the billing statement itself.
Our office offers a Payment Plan for students who wish to pay in monthly installments for the Spring 2026 semester fees. Students/Delegate Users can enroll in a payment plan through the SPIRE system.
The first refunds for the Spring semester will be available by the first week of classes for those students who have enrolled in Excess Express.
Students who are no longer active and have an unpaid balance should set up a payment plan with our office to avoid collections activities and additional fees. Please contact our office for assistance.

Share my Student Information
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student records; we cannot speak to anyone other than the student unless the student assigns their parents/guardians a FERPA code. This 4- digit code will be requested anytime you contact the Bursar’s or Financial Aid Office. Students can assign the FERPA code through their SPIRE access. Students can also set up their parents or other third parties with Delegated Access through SPIRE, which grants them a SPIRE account to access billing information.
