Each semester (Fall, Spring and Summer), it is your responsibility to notify the office student accounts of the number of credit hours you are registered for and your student account will receive a conditional credit for the pre-approved PACT tuition rate. 

  1. Go to jsu.edu/bursar
  2. Choose the ‘Contact Us’ Link
  3. Complete the required information and choose PACT as your subject
  4. You must include your full name, your JSU Student ID #, the semester and number of credit hours you are enrolled

We will bill PACT after the final drop/add period for the semester in order to include your completed schedule.


What else should I know?

Please monitor your JSU Email on a regular basis. If you receive notice that you have an outstanding tuition balance, you should view your MyJaxState, View Account/Make Payment for balance and accuracy.  If you do not see PACT listed as payment, please ensure that you have emailed your enrolled hours to our office as instructed.  

Failure to make timely notification and/or updates may result in your entire class schedule being cancelled for non-payment. Classes will not be reinstated if you fail to contact us in a timely manner.
