 approved and scheduled by the University.
 Fee payment (partial or otherwise) or other
 appropriate arrangements for fee payment
 (deferment of third party billing) for the
 courses in which the student is enrolled.
 The university calendar appearing at the
 front of this catalog sets forth the beginning and
 ending dates of each semester. Registration

 date as specified in the calendar. Students are

 sets forth the specific dates.

 Assessment of Fees-Pursuant to Section 6C-
