Students approved to attend NC State under the GI Bill are provided a monthly stipend, of which a portion is intended as payment of educational costs. The University requires payment in full prior to the beginning of each semester; however, GI Bill students may defer payment of current semester charges by signing the Payment Agreement for NC State Tuition under the GI Bill and forwarding it to the Cashier’s Office.
The following terms and conditions apply to the agreement:
• The student provides a copy of their documentation to the Cashier's Office indicating their eligibility for benefits or verification from the NC State University VA Certification Officer.
• The student makes payments towards current semester charges coinciding with receipt of their benefit payments for the duration of that semester.
• Current semester charges must be paid in full no later than the last day of exams for that semester.
• A student's upcoming semester schedule will subject to cancellation if all current and prior semester charges are not paid in full by this date.
• If a student's GI bill payments are delayed past the end of the current semester, the student will need to contact the VA Regional Processing Office. The VA office must provide documentation or official notification of the delay to the University Cashier's Office or the University VA Certification Officer in the Registration and Records office.
• Students on the GI bill may be cleared to register for an upcoming semester only if they have made payments in accordance with the agreement and do not have outstanding balances for items other than current semester charges.
• Penalty and Interest may only be deferred for current semester charges. Outstanding amounts for prior semester charges are subject to Penalty and Interest in accordance with the requirements of General Statute 147-86.23.
• If the student becomes ineligible for benefits under the GI Bill, payments must be made in accordance with standard university policy.
