Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Student Accounts
Q: When are Fall 2018 bills out? When are they due? |
|
A: Fall 2018 semester eBills should be available by July 11th. All students will receive an automatic email letting them know their bill is available to view online through their myHeliotrope account. We do not mail paper bills out. Fall 2018 bills are due on August 15th, 2018. Once the bills are released, students can sign up for payment plans and waive the medical insurance. Please review our Dates and Deadlines page for further important information. |
Q: How do I access my eBill? |
| A: Simply log on to myHeliotrope and you will find the “View my Semester eBill” box located in the Student Accounts tab. You will need to use your Purchase credentials to log in. Review, download, and save your eBill for future reference. You can also e-mail your eBill to your parent/guardian or to companies that need a copy of your semester charges such as college savings plans, military or employee benefits and private insurance proof of semester activity. |
Q: How do I get rid of the school’s health insurance? |
|
A: YOU WILL BE ABLE TO WAIVE YOUR INSURANCE FOR THE FALL 2018 SEMESTER ONCE THE EBILLS ARE RELEASED ON JULY 11th. IMPORTANT: THE LAST DAY TO WAIVE THE HEALTH INSURANCE IS SEPTEMBER 13TH, 2018. In order to waive this process students must complete the online waiver with their current health insurance information. To access the waiver form the student should follow the steps below:
From here please follow the steps as they prompt you to complete the required documents in order to waive your Purchase College Health Insurance. IMPORTANT: Although your eBill will be updated almost immediately upon your completion of the health insurance waiver so as to reduce your balance with the College, the waiver will remain subject to further review by the office of the Purchase College Association. This review process will verify the following two points:
If the Purchase College Association finds either of the above two points lacking, the waiver will be removed from your bill. This will result in an increase of your balance due- to include the cost of the College’s health insurance . If your waiver is removed, you will be offered the opportunity to submit a correction to your original waiver. You must meet the deadline you are advised of in such correspondence in order for your correction to be considered. ** Foreign Students must contact the Office of International Programs and Services. You must provide proof of coverage on or before the deadlines indicated in your eBill. Providing your health insurance coverage is required every year to successfully waive the college coverage. |
