The pre-term bill includes tuition and fee charges based upon class registration, along with room and board charges which are based upon the contract with Residential Life, along with any past due balance. If you have been given a financial aid award, you will be sent that information separately. Subtract your aid award from your charges and pay the difference. DO NOT subtract student employment amounts. Student employment must be earned and applied to the account to receive credit, by completing the Student Employment Check Authorization. If you are expecting outside scholarships and have submitted the required paperwork, funds will be disbursed either by a direct credit to your student account or will be applied to your account after you endorse the check sent to the college by your funding source. The financial aid award is prepared for a specific credit load and choice of housing. Changes in enrollment, housing and\/ or the receipt of additional funds may necessitate revisions in your financial aid award and the amount due the college. For your convenience, we have supplied the most common fees on our fee calculator.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macalester.edu\/financialaid\/bill\/\"><span class=\"download\"><span class=\"external\"><span class=\"download\"><span class=\"download\">Use this worksheet to determine the amount owed<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\">top of page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"monthlybillingstatements\" name=\"monthlybillingstatements\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monthly Billing Statements<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The student and any Authorized Payers will receive email notification announcing that the newest electronic eBill statement is ready to view.\u00a0 The new eBill statements will generally be ready on the 16th of the month or the first working day following the 15th, which is the due date.
