Why do we require confirmation of attendance and charge a late registration fee?
Because students are allowed to enroll or make class reservations many months in advance of the semester starting, a student is required to take some form of independent confirmation once they actually receive their Registration Bill regarding their intent to attend the semester. Independent confirmation is needed for the disbursement of federal financial aid or other types of aid and/or to issue a refund of excess aid. Additionally in many cases, the student’s action is taken as consent that the student intends to defer payment if there is a balance outstanding on the account. Receipt of payment confirms intention to attend the semester. If no payment is required, the student MUST confirm their intention to attend the semester by clicking on the Confirm Attendance button when viewing the bill in STUINFO or by selecting the Confirm Attendance menu item in STUINFO. Confirming Attendance is also a way that MSU reserves class space for the student. MSU does not take official attendance. W
