Account Balance

A negative balance appearing on an account indicates that money is owing to the student. This could be a credit because of an adjustment to the student's registration or a tuition overpayment. 

You will also see a negative balance if you have recently paid your fees for the upcoming term and not registered for courses yet. Your account will be adjusted with the tuition charges once you register for your courses and create your timetable.

A positive balance appearing on an account indicates that there is money owing to George Brown.
