Announcements for the week of July 9 to 16 2010

UNIVERSITY INSURANCE POLICY UPDATE
The University has not made a final decision on the new insurance policy for 2010-2011, and while there will be more information available to us soon, it is important that students note we do not anticipate a large increase or decrease in the semester rate. In the meantime, the Bursar has allocated a charge in each student account and will wait until the final decision is made to change this fee to reflect the actual rate. You do have the option to pay tuition and fees and leave the insurance premium until you are required to pay all outstanding fees, the first day of classes, August 16, 2010. We appreciate your patience and will provide an update as soon as possible. For now, please do not be concerned if you have registered for classes and have seen a large sum under insurance. Thank you!
