Understanding Your Bill

KNOWLEDGE BASE -> Understanding Your Bill


  • The formula we use to compute your monthly bill is [Base Fee] + [Student Fee] times [Number of active students that month] where an active student is any student who attended at least one class during the month. Check the Account page of the My Institution screen to view the current values of your Base Fee and Student Fee.
  • You can retrieve your invoices from the Invoices page of the My Institution screen. You can print your invoice by clicking Print in the last column (as long as your browser accepts popups from College Office.) Click on any invoice line to view the details of that invoice.
  • You can view your balance and the list of all your transactions (charges, payments, credits & refunds) from the Account page of the My Institution screen. Click on any transaction to see more details.
  • You can view a detailed explanation of your bill for a given month by printing the College Office Monthly Bill report. See more details below.

College Office provides several reports to help you keep track of your bill
