Fall 2024 Billing checklist

  1. New Students – be sure to grant statement access (electronic only) to your families if you haven't done so.

  2. Parents & Authorized E-Bill parties – complete access to statements and online payments after being granted access by student. View more info.

  3. View Fall statement on July 8 (available for registered students only). Go to goucher.edu/billing and click on the student login.  An additional statement will be generated online before Winter break. This will include any changes to charges, removal of health charge (if you have waived it), and any updated anticipated financial aid. In the meantime please use the UG Billing Worksheet (www.goucher.edu/ugworksheet) to help you estimate your balance.

  4. Students will automatically be charged the Goucher Spring/Summer Health Insurance premium (amount still TBD).  All full-time Undergraduate students are required to have health insurance coverage. The annual Health Insurance charge is billed upfront but, if you have your own coverage, you will have to waive in order to have the charge removed. More information about cost and the website will be coming in early July (or sooner, if we receive it earlier). Coverage through Goucher starts on August 1, 2024 and is good through July 31, 2025. Enrollment is for the academic year, not per semester. Half the cost is charged in Fall semester and the second half in the Spring. The Spring cost is due in full even if the student is not enrolled. The Fall charge will be removed after you waive and the waiver is good for the entire year. 

     

  5. Goucher's Tuition Refund Insurance is not charged on the Goucher Statement. Goucher College has partnered with GradGuard™ to provide our families with tuition insurance featuring special plans and rates not available to the general public. You may learn more about the tuition refund insurance and have the option to enroll at Goucher Tuition Refund Insurance.  Fall 2024 Enrollment Deadline - August 22, 2024, NO EXCEPTIONS.  Tuition Refund Insurance Premium will be invoiced by GradGuard and will not appear on your Goucher College Statement.

  6. Meal Plans- Students will initially be charged the 19 meal plan. Students may change their Fall meal plan (First year students are required to have at least the 190 meal plan) at goucher.edu/mealchange by, September 6, 2024. Questions:  ResidentialLife@goucher.edu.

  7. Fall 2024 balances are due by July 29, 2024 to avoid a $200 late fee. Payment options include – ACH or check payments, 529 Plans, monthly payment plans, or financial aid (grants, scholarships, loans). Go to goucher.edu/billing/payment-options for details.
