Financial Penalties

Students whose accounts are not paid by the established semester payment due dates may be subject to financial penalties such as a Bursar Registration Hold.  A Bursar Registration Hold may prevent a student from registering. An official transcript may be obtained after speaking with the Bursar's Office.  When the student account is paid in full, the Bursar Registration Hold may be lifted.  If your payment is remitted via a paper check a 21-day delay must pass before the lifting of the Bursar Registration Hold.  If your payment is remitted via an e-check a 10-day delay must pass before the lifting of the Bursar Registration Hold. 

Effective Spring 2015 a late payment fee of $100 may be assessed when student accounts are not paid by the last day to drop/add.  A student whose payment is not honored by the bank on which it was drawn may be assessed a return payment fee of $25.00. If restitution is not made within 10 days of notification, the student may be subject to course cancellation, financial penalties and/or legal action.  

Debtors who do not make satisfactory payment arrangements on their past due accounts may have their accounts placed with a collection agency. It is the policy of the University that unpaid accounts will be assessed the costs and expenses of collection, including attorney fees.  Any E-check or Paper Check payment that is remitted on a Past Due account by a previously enrolled student will be subject to a 21-day delay on having their Bursar Registration Hold lifted.
