You may find it helpful to read the Spring 2008 Student Accounts
Newsletter and the 2007-08 Schedule of Tuition and Fees, which are
attached.

Here is information which may be helpful regarding some of the most
frequent inquiries we receive:

1. Billing and Due Dates. The first bill for the Fall term is mailed
on or about July 1; the payment due date for the first Fall bill is
always August 1. First year Law students do not receive this first
billing statement since they have not yet been matriculated and
activated. The first bill for the Spring term is mailed in mid-December
and the payment due date is the Friday of the first week in January.
All amounts due not covered by anticipated financial aid and the monthly
payment plan are due at the beginning of each term. After the first
billing of the term, payment is due upon receipt of the billing
statement, which is now available only on-line in CardinalPAY. Accounts
not paid on time may be assessed a late fee. Please be sure to read
your billing statement each month; activity applied to the account since
the prior billing statement is displayed in the Current Activity area of
the statement near the top. The mailing address for check payments is:
The Catholic University of America, P.O. Box 8500-1970, Philadelphia, PA
19178-1970. Students can access their accounts on-line in Cardinal
Station 24/7 at http://cardinalstation.cua.edu.

If you do not see expected financial aid on your billing statement,
please contact the Financial Aid Office at cua-finaid@cua.edu. Law
students should contact the Law Financial Aid Office at fin-aid@law.edu.
Please note that Commercial Loans and Alternative Loans are usually not
displayed as Anticipated Aid on the account or on the billing statement;
they will not show on the student's account until they are disbursed by
the Financial Aid Office after classes have begun for the term.

2. Housing and Meal Plans. If you have questions about room, dining,
or phone charges, please contact Housing Services by e-mail at
cua-housing@cua.edu.

3. Monthly Payment Plan. If you have enrolled in the Tuition
Management Systems payment plan and have budgeted sufficient funds to
cover the balance not covered by financial aid on the student's CUA
account, you do not need to worry about the due date on the bill. You
can enroll in the payment plan for the coming school year on-line at
http://www.afford.com/cua or call TMS at (800) 722-4867; the deadline
for enrolling is August 28 for the Fall term and annual plan. Please be
advised that payment of the payment plan budget to TMS does not
necessarily mean that the CUA account has been paid in full. Payments
are remitted by TMS to the University on or about the 15th of each
month. Familiies can also enroll in the plan for either the Fall term
or the Spring term only.

4. Student Medical Plan. All full-time domestic students and all
international students (full-time and part-time) are required to have
health insurance. Students should watch their snail mail and e-mail
during the Summer for the annual mailings from The Chickering Group
concerning the student medical plan sponsored by the University. These
mailings contain information about enrolling in and waiving the
University's plan.

The online site for 2007-08 student medical plan enrollments and waivers
opened on Friday, June 15, 2007.

Students classified as full-time academically but billed on a part-time
basis, such as those enrolled in thesis guidance, dissertation guidance,
comprehensive exams, oral defense, etc., are not enrolled in the student
medical plan by default; they must enroll proactively by the last day of
the drop/add period in September. Students who expect to receive
financial aid refunds should also enroll proactively so that the cost of
the medical plan will be deducted from their loans when a refund is
processed. Visit
http://www.chickering.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?group_number=
100109 to enroll proactively. These processes must be done every year;
the student's action does not carry forward from one year to the next.

If a student who already has health coverage files the electronic waiver
by the end of the drop/add period in September, he or she will not be
enrolled and charged for the University's student medical plan by
default. If the charge has been assessed by default, an on-line waiver
can still be filed until November 30, 2007, but it is preferable to file
the waiver before the end of the add/drop period so that the charge is
not assessed to the account at all. The on-line waiver must be filed at
http://www.chickering.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?group_number=
100109. There is no paper form. If the waiver is not filed on-line by
November 30, the student must submit an e-mail petition to the
University's student insurance administrator, Mr. Robert Sargeant
(sargeant@cua.edu). This petition must provide the name of the student's
health plan, the policy number or group number, the name of the primary
insured person, the student's health plan ID number, and the student's
CUA ID number.

The waiver must be filed every school year.

Students enrolled at CUA for the first time in the Spring 2008 term can
do the on-line waiver up to March 31, 2008. Students who miss this
deadline and still wish to file the waiver must contact Mr. Sargeant, as
described above. Students billed at the part-time rate must proactively
enroll by the end of the drop/add period in January.

Please note that the documentation required by Student Health Services
is not related to the University-sponsored medical plan. Providing
information to Student Health Services does not waive the enrollment in
and charge for the University-sponsored student medical plan.

If you have questions about the student medical plan, please visit
http://www.chickering.com/stu_conn/student_connection.aspx?group_number=
100109.

5. Nightly System Processes. Students should bear in mind the fact
that the credit history process which runs from 9:15 pm to 11:15 pm
temporarily places all accounts on hold. Students should check the
account area of Cardinal Station for their balances.

6. Student Accounts Web Page. Please visit our web page at
http://treasurer.cua.edu/controller/sa for more information about
Student Accounts policies and procedures and for links to other CUA
sites and especially for information about our new e-commerce system,
CardinalPAY.

If you have raised other questions about your account in your inquiry,
we will respond personally as soon as possible.

When you call or e-mail us, please provide the student's full name and
CUA ID number.

Thank you for reading this message.
