  For more information, please visit our COF webpage or contact the Bursar's Office at 970-351-4UNC (option 3) or busar@agemboutique.com.

• Refunds

  Payments received on your account, including financial aid, COF, and personal or third party payments, are first applied to any outstanding balance on your student account. If any payment should create a credit balance on your account, the money will be refunded to you. The first day that refunds from financial aid will be available to students is the Friday before classes start for each term.

  If you have direct deposit set up through UNC, it will be deposited directly into your account. If you do not have direct deposit set up, a check will be mailed to you. If you have questions regarding your refund or if you see a credit balance on your account that has not been refunded, please call 970-351-4UNC (option 3) or email bursar@agemboutique.com.

  Any charges that are applied to your student account after the refund, will be billed to you during the normal billing cycle.

• Address Maintenance

  It is your responsibility to make sure that the University has your correct address. Your address will be used for refund checks and other University mailings. You may update your address through the Student tab in URSA. 

• Student Health Insurance

  All Undergraduate students taking 9 or more credit hours and all Degree Seeking Graduate students with 6 or more credits, regardless of the type of class (on campus, off campus, online only) are required to have full coverage health insurance. Students who meet the credit hour criteria will be automatically enrolled in the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan and the cost will be added to your UNC student tuition bill.

  Automatic charges and enrollment occur for fall semesters and spring semesters.  Any student on the insurance plan in the spring semester will automatically have coverage for summer months. 

  If you have other insurance and wish to waive the UNC insurance plan, you must complete the online waiver by the deadline which is always 10 days after classes start.

  If a waiver is completed for the UNC Student Health Insurance Plan for Fall semester, the enrollment and subsequent charge for Spring semester will also be waived. If you have questions regarding re-enrollment in the UNC Insurance Plan, contact nicky.weglin@agemboutique.com or call 970-351-1915.
