Payments are due in Student Financial Services by the due dates listed on the Registration & Tuition Fees page.

A $30 non-refundable late payment fee will be assessed for each registration fee or tuition payment deadline that is missed.

Debts owed to the institution

Holds are placed on students for the following reasons:

1. Monetary/Financial

Fees or monies owed to the university, such as registration fees, housing charges, library fines, dishonored checks, Extended Education fees, lost key charges, etc.

2. Non-monetary

Exit interviews for Perkins loans, Plant Operations keys, etc.

These holds will prevent you from registering, receiving grades and transcripts, etc. Information about holds on your account can be obtained by accessing your student account on the web. You will need to allow one business day after clearing a hold, before attempting to register or receive other services.

Failure to pay fees or debts incurred by specified due dates may result in collection action, including collection agency referral and/or small claims court, where you will be responsible for all applicable collection and/or court costs.

The university no longer sends out bills for student registration/tuition fees. It will be the student's responsibility to check their student account online through Student Center to retrieve their account balance information. Fees are assessed to a student's accounts immediately after registering for classes. If you add or drop classes which move your unit load to a different fee category, ( 0-6 units or 6.1+ units) your fees will re-calculate automatically.

A student whose check or e-check is returned from their bank will be assessed a $25 returned check fee.

Anyone paying for a university fee or service with a check or e-check that is dishonored by the bank is subject to legal action within the limits of the law. The privilege of writing checks or e-checks to the university may also be revoked.
