Penalties and Late Registration Fees
Late Payment Penalty. There are severe penalties for failure to pay student account balances and installments by their specified due dates. If a payment is delinquent when a semester ends, the student will be blocked and may not receive credit for academic work performed. Students will not be readmitted to the University until all past due balances, including late charges, are paid. A $25 late fee will be assessed for each payment not received on or before its due date. If a student is removed from the rolls of the University or is withdrawn for failure to pay amounts owed the University, a $50 reinstatement fee will be assessed in addition to any other late fees or penalties already incurred and must be paid before the student will be reinstated.
Late Registration Fees. Students who register on or after the first day of classes are assessed a $100 late registration fee. Students who register after the official census date (12th class day for fall or spring and 4th class day for summer) are assessed a $200 late registration fee. Students who add classes after the official census date are assessed a $50 late add fee. Note: Penalties, late registration and late add fees also apply to students who are required to reenroll because their registrations were canceled for nonpayment.
Use of Collection Agencies and Credit Bureau. If amounts become past due, the University reserves the right to report the account to the Credit Bureau. This will also initiate internal collection efforts and could cause the University to employ an outside collection agency to recover the debt. If any collection efforts must be made, the student will be required to pay all collection costs, including collection agency fees, legal fees and other costs incurred in collecting the amounts due.
