WHAT'S NEW?
Several Bursar's Office procedures related to fee payment, billing, confirmation of attendance, deferred payment plan online enrollment, refunds, and1098Ts will change because of new online systems. Since myTSU is the major mode of communication with students, it is imperative that all students check their "myTSU" email accounts regularly.
Access myTSU @ http://mytsu.tnstate.edu to:
· Check account balances.
· Pay fees with MasterCard, Visa, American Express or check. (Parents paying fees online using MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or personal check will need to coordinate logon information with students.)
· Print account statements. (Please review bill for accuracy.)
· Print detailed class schedules.
· Print 2008 1098T tax statements beginning January 31, 2009. (Tax statements will not be mailed. Parents will need to coordinate logon information with students.)
· Confirm Registration.
CONFIRMATIONS
All students who use deferments/aid to pay all or a part of their fees MUST CONFIRM (i.e., those with loans, grants, scholarships, state or disabled veterans' vocational rehabilitation benefits, veterans' benefits, certain veterans' dependents education benefits, senior citizen benefits to audit classes, staff scholarships, etc.) prior to fee payment/confirmation deadlines to prevent class schedules from being deleted. Confirmation affirms that students plan to attend the classes for which they are registered and gives the university permission to apply financial aid. Student who register/confirm and subsequently decide not to attend must drop all classes before the first day of classes to avoid a penalty.

If a student decides not to attend classes after confirming, an official withdraw from the University is required. If the student decides to attend after checking that he/she will not attend, then he/she must contact the Bursar's Office to reverse the negative response and prevent his/her class schedule from being deleted.
