General Information
The transition to college is one of the biggest steps your student will take in their life. However, your student is not the only person making a transition. While they are learning how to live on their own and making their own decisions, you, too are confronted with a new set of circumstances. Whether your student is living at home in Thousand Oaks or traveling across the country to come to CLU, you will most likely see your role as a family member change. Family Orientation has been created to make this transition as stress-free as possible.
You will have the opportunity to hear from several different offices around campus. Some of the family sessions include:
- Academic and Financial Guidance
- Multicultural and International Programs
- Study Abroad Opportunities
- Academic and Accessibilty Resources
- Campus Safety
- Counseling and Health Services
Letter to parents of First Year and Transfer Students
From Steve Woods, Manager of Student Receivables
Dear New Students and Parents:
The 2012-2013 academic year is bringing about lots of changes that will ensure both students and the University have a strong financial strategy to cover expenses. All returning and newly admitted undergraduates will have a Pre-bill, Payment Contract, and tuition insurance information sent to them in early June.
This packet has the material to help students gain financial clearance by the all important financial clearance date of August 3rd, 2012. Gaining financial clearance from the student accounts office allows the student to maintain the class schedule they've pre-registered for and avoid the financial penalty assessed on August 7th.
Financial clearance is gained when two things happen:
- The student returns a signed and completed Payment Contract to Student Accounts
AND - The student remits payment for the estimated balance due on the pre-bill
OR - The student signs up for a Monthly Payment Plan through our third party payment plan provider. Registration for this program can be done as early as June to reduce the monthly payment amount, but no later than August. The first payment is due at the time of plan registration. Any questions, you can call Barbara Culbert at (805) 493-3173.
If financial aid, awards, and scholarships cover all remaining costs then steps 2 and 3 can be skipped. However, students must sign up for a Monthly Payment Plan if they are not paying the full balance due by the financial clearance date.
If financial clearance is not granted by August 6th, students will be dis-enrolled from their classes.
Detailed information on the Monthly Payment Plan and tuition insurance will be included in the pre-bill packet. Also look for forms and information in early May on our Student Accounts website.
