High School Checklist
We're looking forward to having you at UNCSA! Please follow the checklist below to complete your enrollment and prepare for the school year.
Every Parent/Guardian Must:
To reserve your student's space in the fall class, we must receive the Enrollment Deposit as soon as possible. Log in to the Applicant Portal to view the status page to pay.
A refund of a deposit will be granted if the request is made in writing and received in the Office of Admissions prior to May 1. No refunds will be issued after this date. If you are admitted after May 1 your payment must be received within 10 business days of receipt of your acceptance letter.
Student Access to TouchNet. The easiest way for a student to access TouchNet is by logging in to E-Z Arts. Once there, click on the “Student” tab, followed by “Student Accounts Center” and finally “TouchNet.” Students will automatically be signed in to TouchNet via this method.
Authorized Users. Parents or other individuals will only receive email billing notifications if they are set up as an Authorized User in TouchNet. Once in the system, a student may add Authorized Users by clicking the link on the right-hand side of the screen and setting their permissions as necessary. Authorized Users have a specific log-in page with direct access to the system.
Tuition and fees for the entire 2024-25 school year will be billed in two semesters, Fall and Spring.
Fall Semester:
- Bills will be mailed to the permanent address on file on or before Friday, July 5, 2024.

Students who have not paid their bill or enrolled in a payment plan by the bill due dates are subject to a hold on their account, a late payment fee or other actions as outlined in UNCSA’s Student Payment Regulation 317.
Payment Plans. Payment plans are available in TouchNet and are offered on a semester-by-semester basis. The earlier you enroll, the more months you have to spread out payments. More information, including the full semester’s schedule and instructions, is available in this UNCSA Campus announcement.
Direct Deposit for Refunds: If you receive an overpayment in excess of $10, a refund will be issued. Students and families are encouraged to assign banking information to their account for refunds if they wish to receive their funds sooner. If a student does not sign up for electronic refunds in TouchNet, a check will be mailed to their permanent address on file. Checks will not be available for pickup.
Health insurance is required for all students. The University offers Student Blue from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. If your students will continue to be covered by an individual plan or through a parent's plan, you waive out of the Student Blue plan.
You must enroll into Student Blue or waive out of the insurance at studentbluenc.com. Take action by Sept. 9, 2024. Student Blue waiver and enrollment requests for Fall 2024 cannot be submitted after the decision deadline.

Remember that when a department or office has placed a hold on your account, you will need to take action with that particular office right away. Only the department that places a hold can remove it.
Among other restrictions, holds will prevent your student from being registered or having their class schedule updated. Students who are indebted to UNCSA are not permitted to attend classes until the debt is settled.
