Current Account Collection Policies

Each semester, a student must have their account balance, less any eligible financial aid, paid in full or be current on a monthly payment plan otherwise their classes will be dropped on the last day for a 100% refund. Once classes are dropped, students can only have them reinstated if the account is paid in full, the payment plan is brought current, arrangements are made with the Student Finance Office or a different financial agreement is approved by the Financial Appeals Committee. Students who cannot reach a satisfactory financial agreement by the census date (last day to add a class), will need to stop attending classes and if applicable, will be given one week to move out of campus housing.

Eligibility for returning students to register for future semesters will be based on having their account balance paid in full, less any eligible financial aid or current on their monthly payment plan.

Statements will be generated no later than the 5th business day of each month. Notification will be sent when the electronic statement is ready. Payment is due at the beginning of the semester, unless enrolled in a monthly payment plan, whereby the payment amount and payment plan due date will defer to the online payment plan. An automated reminder email will be sent two days before the payment plan due date and if necessary, a second email is sent once the payment is late. A $25 late fee will be charged fourteen days after the payment plan due date or at the end of the month, if not enrolled in a payment plan.

When a non-current student account is brought current, and has previously been reported to the credit bureau, it must continue to be reported until the account is paid in full and has had no activity for six months. Current students whose accounts are being reported to the credit bureau may not be eligible to sign up for a monthly payment plan.
