Great question! The most common reason is it hasn't been reported in MyÂ鶹´«Ã½Fox. Once it has been reported, your Payment Estimator can be updated.
To defer a portion of your balance due to a delayed external scholarship, fill out the Scholarship Deferral Request Form.
Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox requires its full-time students be covered by medical insurance. To opt out, complete the Health Insurance Form/Waiver in your MyÂ鶹´«Ã½Fox Tasks tile. If you opt out, please be prepared to submit your current health insurance policy information and allow 48 hours for charges to be adjusted.
We ask for a guarantor because we want to know who is standing with you in this financial obligation. This is common with most financial agreements, and it increases your options for payment.
