ECSI Corporation will be processing the 1098T tax forms for 2012. Students will have the option to receive their tax forms either electronically or by mail. Please watch your IUP e-mail for the electronic consent information that ESCI is requesting through the Bursar’s Office. The e-mail will provide you with a link and step-by-step instructions for signing up to receive your statement electronically.

The IRS deadline for mailing of the IRS tax form 1098T is January 31. Students who opt to have their forms delivered electronically will have access to the forms earlier than those sent by the traditional mailing process.

All 1098T forms processed prior to 2012 tax year will still be available through URSA.

With peerTransfer, you are offered excellent foreign exchange rates, allowing you to pay in your home currency (in most cases) and save a significant amount of money, as compared to traditional banks. In addition, the posting of the payment into your IUP account will be faster, and you will be notified via e-mail when it is received.

Visit the IUP peerTransfer webpage to begin the payment process:

• To get started, select the country from which funds will be coming and the payment amount in U.S. dollars you wish to make to your student bill.
• In most cases, the U.S. dollar amount will be converted into your home currency at preferential exchange rates, which will translate into savings for you.
• After providing some additional basic information, you will book the transaction and will be instructed via e-mail on how to pay peerTransfer from your home country bank account.
• peerTransfer will then forward the U.S. dollar amount to IUP, where it will be directly credited to your student billing account.
• You will receive an e-mail to confirm receipt of payment.
• At any time, you will have a peerTransfer dedicated customer service team reachable via chat, Skype, e-mail, and phone to answer any of your questions.

Students will have the option of paying their student account in full by August 20, 2012, or enrolling in a three-payment plan. For that plan, the first installment will be due August 20, the second September 20, and the final payment October 20.

Students who register through the drop/add period will have a two-payment plan option only, with the first payment due September 20 and the final payment due October 20. There is a $40 installment payment fee for enrolling in either of the plans.

Students are notified through their IUP e-mail accounts that a bill is available to view, so the Office of the Bursar recommends that students check e-mail often. Bills may be viewed by logging into URSA. Students may authorize parents/guardians to view and pay bills through the IUP EasyPay system.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The Federal Perkins Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) has been updated to reflect changes to the terms and conditions of Perkins Loans that were made by the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (CCRAA) (Pub. L. 110-84) and the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) (Pub. L. 108-315).

The Department of Education (the Department) has developed an Addendum to explain the changes made by the CCRAA and the HEOA to borrowers who sign the current Perkins MPN before the revised MPN is implemented, or who previously received Perkins Loans under an MPN or promissory note that was signed before the Addendum was made available. The statutory changes reflected in the revised Perkins MPN and Addendum include the following:

• Change in the number of consecutive monthly payments required for loan rehabilitation from twelve to nine.
• Change in forbearance requirements to allow for oral forbearance requests.
• Changes to the active duty military deferment provisions and addition of a new post-active duty deferment.
• New loan cancellation provisions for attorneys employed in a defender organization, firefighters, tribal college or university faculty, librarians, and speech-language pathologists.
• Expansion of teacher cancellation to include teachers who perform qualifying service at a school or location operated by a low-income educational service agency.
• Expansion of Head Start cancellation to include full-time staff members in a pre-kindergarten or child care program that is licensed or regulated by the State.
• Increase in the maximum amount that may be cancelled for military service from 50 percent to 100 percent.

In addition to the changes described above, the revised Perkins MPN includes, on page 1, a new authorization that allows for the use of automated telephone dialing equipment or artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messages to contact the borrower regarding his or her loan request or loan(s) at any current or future number for a cell phone or other wireless device that the borrower provides.

The full Perkins Loan Addendum is available to you for your review on line.
