So I know from reading previous posts that my school will have to send a bill to SMART and then SMART will pay the bill off. I wanted to hear from scholars who have gone through this process how it worked for you and if you had any issues with SMART paying the bill in a reasonable time.
I got a little nervous the first time around, but I have never had any issues. The way my school does it, I get invoices before each semester, as if I was paying it myself. I'm supposed to pay my portions (dorms, food, etc.) and ignore the rest. Then SMART is invoiced and pays their portion. To the outside observer it seemed like SMART was paying their part very late, but according to my school, they only bill SMART after the add/drop date for classes (weeks after the start of the semester), so SMART is actually paying everything on time.
