Late Fees and Penalties
Failure to make full payment (or the first payment in a payment plan) by the payment due date may result in course cancellation or a hold on your account that will prevent course registration, release of diplomas, and enrollment/degree verification. At the end of each semester, delinquent accounts will be referred to a collection agency.
Please note, students who have three or more Returned Checks/Not Sufficient Funds payments, will be blocked from making any new 'Electronic Check Payments.' Students will be required to pay any current or future term balance via Cash, Cashiers Check or Credit Card Payments.
**The Bursar's Office reserves the right to withhold refund checks until any past due balance is settled.**
The following fees may apply as the result of late or non-payment:
| FEE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Collection | A $50.00 non-refundable fee will be charged when an account is sent to a collection agency. |
| Due Date Late Payment |
After the initial payment due date, a $100.00 non-refundable fee will be charged for partial payments or accounts not enrolled in a payment plan. **Failure to pay the semester bill in full or enroll in a payment plan by the semesters' due date will result in AUTOMATIC enrollment in a payment plan and a $100.00 due date late fee. You will also be charged a $60.00 installment fee to be enrolled in the payment plan.** |
| Late Payment | Each month (after the initial payment due date) a $50.00 non-refundable fee will be charged to accounts with an outstanding balance that are enrolled in a payment plan. |
| Late Registration | A $50.00 non-refundable fee will be charged to students registering for class(es) after the drop/add period as noted on the academic calendar. |
| Reinstatement / Re-Registration | A $50.00 non-refundable fee will be charged to be reinstated/re-registered in your
courses if you were dropped for non-payment. |
| Return Check Fee |
A $50.00 non-refundable fee is charged for any check that is dishonored/returned to the University. Please note, if a returned payment is remade via Electronic Check, the university will wait 7 business days before releasing the hold to ensure the check clears. If the payment is remade via Cash/Credit Card, the hold can be released immediately. |
Bursar Holds:
The holds listed below are placed on student accounts when a student has an outstanding balance past the published billing due date, a past due payment plan installment or an outstanding prior semester balance. A hold will be removed when the student account is brought current.
