Virginia Commonwealth University student account questions

What happens if I have an unpaid balance at VCU?

Any unpaid balance can trigger a registration hold or diploma hold — VCU does not publish a specific dollar threshold. A late fee of 10% of your unpaid balance (up to $100) is assessed after the payment deadline. Delinquent accounts are referred to VCU Account Resolution Services and an additional fee will be assessed. To resolve your balance, contact the Student Financial Management Center (SFMC) at sfmc@vcu.edu or (804) 828-1550, or Student Accounting at stuacctg@vcu.edu or (804) 828-2228.

Common questions about Email Cheat Code at VCU

Does Email Cheat Code work with VCU email?

Yes. Virginia Commonwealth University uses Google Workspace (Gmail) for student email. Email Cheat Code connects to your @vcu.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.

What emails does Email Cheat Code monitor at VCU?

We monitor your Virginia Commonwealth University 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 VCU 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.
