Bursar's Office/Student Accounts
INSTITUTIONAL FEE INCREASE
Due to declining state tax collections, the University of Georgia (USG) Board of Regents has approved a budget adjustment from six percent to eight percent for the current fiscal year (FY2010). What this action means to you is that the institution fee has increased $75 from previous semesters. Effective spring 2010 Clayton State University mandatory institution fee is $150.
In addition to the fee, the board approved a moratorium on student fee increases for FY 2011 and a sunset date of June 30, 2012 for the total mandatory student fee increase. The lone exception to the moratorium will be fees for public/private venture projects, such as residence halls, student-financed recreation centers and other facilities with a revenue stream or fees required under extraordinary circumstances and with significant student support.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide excellent professional customer service to students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, campus departments, and external organizations while maintaining an environment that values people and fosters respect. To accomplish these tasks, the office will incorporate appropriate procedures and processes, which will support prompt collection of student payments and recording of financial aid. The office will issue timely refunds of students' credits in compliance with Federal and State regulations and in accordance with Institutional policies. The office will effectively communicate with students regarding any changes, adjustments, revisions and other matters related to their accounts.

GUARANTEED TUITION PROGRAM
In April 2006, the Board of Regents approved a GUARANTEED TUITION PROGRAM (GTP) for all incoming freshmen of the University System of Georgia's 35 institutions. Basically, the program is intended to give students and parents more certainty in planning for college tuition costs by setting a fixed tuition rate for a specified period.
