Your Account

Invoice
Prior to the start of each term an invoice will be mailed to you showing all charges, credits, anticipated aid, and balance due for the upcoming term as well as any balance from a previous term. You will receive monthly invoices that will show any prior balance due as well as any activity that occurred during the month.

Paying the Account Balance
All payments must be received in Student Administrative Services by the due date. Return the bottom portion of the invoice with your payment noting the student/account number on your check. Checks must be make payable to Clarkson University.

Please mail the remittance portion of your invoice along with your check to:

Student Administrative Services
Clarkson University
PO Box 5548
Potsdam, NY 13699-5548

Please do not postdate checks; all checks are deposited the day they are received. There will be a $20 charge for any checks returned to us by the bank.

Unpaid Balances
All accounts will be assessed a finance charge of 1% on all unpaid balances, including those created by deferrals, at the end of each month. All attorney's fees and other reasonable collection costs necessary for the collection of any amount not paid when due will be added to the unpaid balance. It is the University's policy to withhold transcripts and diplomas until the balance of the account is paid in full.

Refunds/Overpayments
If total credits result in an overpayment to Clarkson, a refund may be obtained. An overpayment is not valid when the credit balance on the student account is the result of anticipated awards. All overpayments are considered refunds due to the student and are processed as checks payable to the student, with the exception of the Parent PLUS Loans, in which case, the refund will be mailed to the signer of the PLUS Loan unless the signer authorizes payment directly to the student. Student accounts financed by Payment Plan are not eligible for refunds until all obligations to the PP have been met. Any authorizations obtained from a student or parent for disbursing financial aid funds continues to be valid in subsequent years unless rescinded.
