Whether you've been managing your own money since you landed your first part-time job, or coming to college is the first time you'll have to track and manage your finances, we have you covered! Not only does the orientation website have a dedicated page with important deadlines and resources, we've also put together a quick list of key tasks to make sure you stay on top of your student account this summer: ❑ View your tuition bill. Your first tuition bill will be available to view in your UR Student account on Friday, July 18. (See instructions for viewing your bill on our website.) ❑ Grant others access to your financial account. If you need to give a family member access to your UR Student account to view or pay your tuition bill, you can also find instructions on how to do that on our website. ❑ Keep an eye out from emails from Financial Aid. Periodically throughout the summer, the Financial Aid Office will reach out to you regarding your financial aid package. Please review and reply to these emails promptly, as additional information may be required from you or your family. ❑ Attend the Student Employment Job Fair during Welcome Week. If getting an on-campus job is part of your plan to finance your education, make sure to attend the Job Fair during Welcome Week (exact date and time to be announced when the schedule launches in August). Representatives from across the University will be on-hand to share information about their department's employment opportunities. |

Here's the scoop on textbooks. |
|
UR Essentials, the University's new textbook program in partnership with Barnes & Noble, ensures you receive all required textbooks and course materials before your first day of classes. Instead of buying your textbooks separately, the cost for all required materials will now be covered through your tuition payment. Physical books will be bundled for easy pick-up and digital materials will be available through Blackboard. After you register for classes in UR Student, Barnes & Noble will contact you at your University email address to confirm that your materials will be available for pick-up at the University bookstore in College Town. Please note: If the Barnes & Noble email gives you the option to have the materials shipped directly to you at home, please make sure to select in-store pick-up instead, as the materials will likely be delivered after you've already left home for campus. |
