Spelman College student account questions
What happens if I have an unpaid balance at Spelman College?
If you don't pay your semester bill in full by the deadline (July 15 for Fall; January 4 for Spring) and haven't enrolled in the payment plan, a $200 Deferred Payment Plan Fee is added to your account. If you still haven't paid by the purge date, Spelman will drop all your classes. A financial hold is placed on accounts with remaining balances by November 2 (Fall) and April 2 (Spring), blocking access to Banner services including registration and transcripts. Contact the Office of Student Accounts at studentaccount@spelman.edu or 404-270-5178.
What is the 'purge' at Spelman and how do I avoid it?
The purge is Spelman's process of withdrawing students from all classes for non-payment. You are protected from the purge if you: (1) pay your semester balance in full by the payment deadline, (2) have a completed financial aid file showing sufficient accepted aid, or (3) have an approved third-party scholarship agreement on file. Even a single missing financial aid document can leave your file incomplete—do not assume you're safe. Check your account via the Student Account Suite at spelman.edu/touchnet.
How does the Spelman semester payment plan work?
Students who don't pay in full by the deadline must enroll in the Semester Payment Plan. Residential students pay $18,000 upfront; commuter students pay $11,500. The remaining balance is split into 3 equal installments (Aug. 30, Sept. 30, Oct. 30 for Fall; Feb. 1, March 1, April 1 for Spring). There is a non-refundable $200 enrollment fee per semester. Missing an installment results in a $10 late fee and a financial hold on your Banner account. Enroll via the TouchNet Payment System.

Common questions about Email Cheat Code at Spelman College
Does Email Cheat Code work with Spelman College email?
Yes. Spelman College uses Microsoft 365 (Outlook) for student email. Email Cheat Code connects to your @spelman.edu account with read-only access and sends you SMS alerts when critical emails arrive - financial aid deadlines, registration holds, bursar notices, and academic notifications.
If you're among the first students at your school to connect, your IT department may need to approve the app first - we can help with that.
What emails does Email Cheat Code monitor at Spelman College?
We monitor your Spelman College inbox for the emails that actually matter - financial aid deadlines, FAFSA verification requests, registration holds, tuition payment reminders, academic standing notices, and advisor communications. Newsletters, club emails, and campus-wide blasts are filtered out. You only get a text when something needs your attention.
Is my Spelman College email account safe with Email Cheat Code?
Yes. We connect through your provider's official OAuth sign-in - the same process you'd use to connect any trusted app. We can only read your emails, never send, delete, or modify them.
Email content is never stored - only a short alert summary is saved. Our security was independently verified through a CASA Tier 2 audit by TAC Security for the App Defense Alliance. You can revoke access anytime from your account settings.

No. FERPA governs how a school discloses records, not whether a student authorizes an app to read their own inbox. Here is why the "impossible" claim is wrong.
