Account Balance

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

You may also just recently paid your fees for the upcoming term and not yet registered for courses yet, so no worries.  Your account will be adjusted with the tuition charges once you register for your courses (timetable).

A positive balance appearing on an account indicates that there is money owing to the college.
