Coppin provides students with payment plan options that allow you to pay tuition costs at a later date. Please note: tuition payment plans are only available for students who enroll in the current semester, and cannot be used to pay prior semester balances.

The Bursar/Student Accounts Office consults with students to arrange payment terms and due dates. Students may also need to pay a non-refundable fee to set up a payment plan.

There are multiple ways to pay, including online, in person, or phone:

If paying online:

• Log into your EagleLINKS account to pay via Web Pay.

If paying in-person:

• Visit the Cashier’s Station on the second level of the Administration Building.
• After hours, leave payments in the dropbox located at the Cashier’s Station. We empty the dropbox each morning, and send receipts via mail.

If paying by telephone:

• Contact the Bursar/Student Accounts Office at (410) 951-3691.
• Reach out to the cashier directly at (410) 951-3677.

Yes, everyone who applies to CSU must submit this fee with a completed application. Please note, this fee in no way affects other student charges for which you are responsible.

Military service members and veterans must adhere to the same payment requirements as civilian and non-veterans students.

If you don’t pay your tuition and fees, your student account becomes delinquent. There may also be other consequences, including additional costs, impact to your credit rating or possible legal action, if you don’t pay your outstanding balances.

Per Maryland regulations, Coppin State University pursues collection of all monies owed. Coppin refers all accounts not paid to the State of Maryland Central Collections Unit (CCU). Please note, if your account is transferred to CCU, you are still responsible for the outstanding balance and additional collections costs that may equal 17% of the unpaid balance.

To confirm your eligibility for a student refund, log into your EagleLINKS portal, then select “Detailed Account Summary” to review.

The State of Maryland Comptroller’s Office issues and mails refund checks to your student address on file. If you’re a student or paying for a student, make sure the student’s home, billing, and permanent address are kept updated.

Still have questions about student payment or refund policies? Reach out to the Student Accounts Office at (410) 951-3677.

Students only have the option to waive the health insurance fee, and this option is only available if you have current health coverage. Go to your EagleLINKS account to learn more information and see next steps. If you qualify, be prepared to provide documentation of your current health care coverage.

Your textbooks and classroom materials are not free, but you may qualify for a book voucher through the Office of Financial Aid (OFA). You must submit a requested amount to OFA for approval. If your requested amount is approved, it reflects as a charge on your student account.

Still have questions about book vouchers? Contact OFA at (410) 951-3636, then select option 6.

All tuition and fees are due before each semester begins. Check your current semester’s bill and important due dates in your EagleLINKS account. The Bursar and Student Accounts Office also posts tuition and bill alerts in the blue “EagleLINKS Announcements” box on your EagleLINKS portal homepage.

Still have questions after reviewing your student account online? Reach out to our office at (410) 951-3677.

Please note: Coppin does not mail tuition billing statements, so be sure to regularly check your EagleLINKS account to view your electronic billing statements (eBill).

Pay your bill with cash, checks, CSU payment plan, and all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Be sure to bring all cash payments to the Cashier’s Station; do not put cash in the mail!

If paying by check or money order, remember to:

• make checks payable to Coppin State University (CSU) for the exact amount of charges
• write your student ID number on all checks and money orders to Coppin
• submit either personal or cashier’s checks ONLY. CSU does not accept two party, post-dated and starter checks

You should receive an eBill notification or a detailed account summary at least one week before your semester begins—if you do not have access or have not received an eBill notification by this time, contact us immediately at the Bursar and Student Accounts Office.

Yes, every student is responsible to pay tuition and fees charges for all your admitted and enrolled courses. You are still responsible to pay all tuition and fees charges regardless of if you attend classes or receive financial aid. There are many ways to secure funding prior to registering for classes, including financial aid, scholarships, private or federal loans, etc.

Coppin has transferred your student account balance to the State of Maryland for payment collection. You will not be able to register for classes until all outstanding accounts are paid in full.

An Alternative Work Schedule (AWS) is a change from a traditional 8-hour work day/40-hour work week, designed to enhance a work-life balance for employees as well as to ease the burden of costly commutes.

The options include Flextime, Compressed work weeks, or teleworking.

Flextime is an AWS that offers an arrival and departure time, that differs from the standard operating hours of 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Flextime will differ by no more than two (2) hours. For example, a flextime arrangement may be arriving at 10:00 a.m. and departing at 6:30 p.m. with a ½ hour lunch.

A compressed work schedule is an AWS comprised of four 10-hour days per week or 80 hours in a two week period worked over nine days instead of ten.

• Following the 4/10 schedule, employees work four 10-hour workdays per week either Monday - Thursday or Tuesday-Friday each week [total of 40 hours] earning Friday or Monday off for a three (3) day weekend.
• Following the 5-4/9 schedule, employees work four 9-hour days and one 8-hour day in week 1, and work four 9-hour days in week 2 with either Monday or Friday off for a bi-weekly total of 80 hours.

Teleworking is an AWS that allows employees to perform their usual job duties away from their primary work place (i.e. at home or in a satellite location). Teleworking is limited to two (2) work days per week/four (4) days per pay period. Other provisions are described in the teleworking policy.

No. Participation in AWS is voluntary and subject to the approval of the Manager or Department Head.

No. All Regular and Contingent II employees are eligible to participate in AWS. Faculty are not eligible.

Employees that have not completed their probationary period, employees that have been subject to disciplinary action during the previous 90 days or employees who did not achieve a “Meets Standards” rating or above on their most recent performance evaluation may not be eligible to work an AWS. Employees who work in departments such as Public Safety, which require 24/7 coverage, are also not eligible to participate in AWS.

Eligible employees must submit a written request to their Manager or Department Head using the AWS request form.

An AWS request form may be found in K:/Forms (Campuswide) or K:/HUMAN RESOURCES/Forms, and it may be downloaded on the “Forms” link on HR’s webpage.

You may request a specific schedule; however, your Manager or Department Head must consider departmental staffing needs and may modify your requested schedule.

No. Employee wages and benefits will not change as a result of working an AWS.

No, vacation and sick leave accrual will not change. When leave is taken, employees are charged for the hours (i.e. 8 or 10 hours) they were scheduled to work.

The maximum number of hours that can be worked per day is ten (10) hours.

No. All employees must take at least a 30 minute lunch.

Yes. Employees may request a change in schedule with two (2) weeks advance notice.

No. Special codes will not be used. Non-exempt employees will continue to enter their hours worked. Exempt employees will enter time line by line. Employees should also enter AWS in the comments column of time entry.

Yes. Non-exempt employees may be asked to work overtime. Exempt employees may also be required to adjust their schedule, as needed, to perform their job.

No. When a holiday falls on a scheduled day off, the employee will receive another day off during the week.

Holidays will remain at 8 hour days. AWS employees must use their own accrued leave to supplement leave over 8 hours. Therefore, employees must enter 8 hours as HOL, plus 2 hours of personal or annual leave.
