4. A negative (-) symbol on your billing statement means you owe that much money. ie (Account Balance: -593)

True

False

A negative (-) symbol means that's much how much money is left on your account that you can use for books or will get in a refund check. Remember if you took out loans, that could mean you have to pay that money back with interest!!! Please borrow wisely and readjust if you need to. Contact the Financial Aid Office for help with that: 262-6454

If the number is positive, that's how much you owe to the college. That amount needs to be paid or you will a.) be removed from classes or b.) be responsible for that balance and it could possibly be sent to collections and affect your credit!
