Payment of the Course, Housing, Board, University Center Fee, Student Activity
and Health Center Fees
University policy requires all charges to be paid prior to the start of the semester.
Full payment, or proof of awarded financial aid, is required to complete the registration process. The check or money order for these fees
should be made payable to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Payments are accepted at the Student Accounts Office. Credit card and
electronic check payments may be made online via eBill inside the myEdinboro portal.
Students receiving bank loans, such as Private, or Parent Loans, not already shown as an anticipated credit on their bill must provide
written evidence of loan approval to the Student Accounts Office to receive recognition toward current invoice charges. Send copies
of your loan approval, including the amount borrowed, with your invoice even if your current loan awards are greater than your
charges.
Students who have External scholarships, military scholarships, or other types of student assistance resources must attach written
evidence of such when returning their invoices in order to receive credit toward current semester charges.
Direct Student Loans require a completed Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling including the borrower’s
signature to credit the student’s account.
Students who do not pre-pay by the billing due date by check, credit card through Paypath or debit card, have proof of financial aid,
provide a VA certificate of benefits eligibility or enroll in a semester payment plan will be charged a $100.00 late fee for non-payment
and a financial hold preventing future registration and access to the student’s records will be placed on the account. Failure to
complete the payment process and/or provide written proof of bank loans, other financial assistance or a VA certificate of benefits
eligibility may result in a cancelled class schedule at the conclusion of the registration period.
eBilling is a web-based system on a secure internet site (accessed via the MyEdinboro portal). Students can allow eBill access to
parents and third-parties using e-mail address (e.g., myparent@yahoo.com), username, and passwords. Through this exciting
technology, students can also choose payments by check (ACH) and credit card via PayPath. For more information and answers to
frequently asked questions, logon to (www.edinboro.edu keyword: Studeht Accounts).

Delinquent Accounts
No student shall be enrolled, graduated, or granted a transcript of their records until all previous charges have been paid.
ALL FEES AND REFUND POLICIES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE UPON APPROVAL OF THE COUNCIL OF
TRUSTEES OR THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION, AS APPROPRIATE

Simultaneous Degrees
A student who wishes to earn two undergraduate degrees simultaneously at Edinboro University shall complete
the Simultaneous Dual Degree Request for Undergraduate Students form (available in Hamilton Hall and online at
the Edinboro Records and Registration website) at least one calendar year prior to the student's anticipated
graduation date.
Pursuant to PASSHE Procedure/Standard 2018-34, a student who simultaneously meets all of the degree
requirements for two undergraduate degrees may obtain two degrees, subject to the following rules and
procedures:
1.
2.
3.

4.

5.
6.
7.

8.
9.

The student must earn a minimum of 120 credit hours total. Note that, in order to meet the degree requirements
of certain combinations of undergraduate programs, the student may have to earn more than 120 credit hours.
The student will be assigned an academic advisor for each degree program.
The student, with the student’s assigned academic advisor or chair from each program, will develop a
plan of study for completing each degree program, based on each program’s regularly scheduled rotation
of courses. Each plan will be approved by the student’s academic advisor for that program and the dean
of that program.
For record-keeping purposes only, the student, on the Simultaneous Dual Degree Request for Undergraduate
Students form, shall designate one of the degrees as the “first” degree and one as the “second” degree.
Designating one degree “first” or “second” does not make one degree of greater or lesser significance than
the other.
A student’s academic transcript will list both degrees, while the student will be issued two diplomas, one
for each degree earned.
When applying for graduation, the student will clearly indicate that the student is applying to be awarded
two degrees.
A student who completes the requirements of more than one concentration within a single degree program
(for example, a student pursuing a BFA in Studio Arts who completes all of the requirements of
concentrations in Ceramics and Painting) has completed a “dual concentration” and has earned a single
degree, not two degrees. A student wishing to pursue more than one concentration within a single degree
program must complete the Concentration Request Form. Note that a student who is pursuing two separate
undergraduate degrees simultaneously (e.g., a BS in Mathematics and a BS in Computer Science) may
declare concentrations within those degrees (e.g., Actuarial Science and Network and System
Administration) and still earn two degrees.
If a student wishes to earn more than two degrees simultaneously, the student must obtain permission from
the dean or deans of the degree programs.
If a student no longer wishes to pursue two degrees simultaneously, the student must so notify the Registrar in
writing.
