Bill and Payment

Fall semester bills are due July 15, and spring semester bills are due December 15, or upon registration if the due date has passed.  Payment for summer, winter,or spring break intersession is due upon registration. To establish proper payment arrangements by the bill deadline, the Student Accounts Office must receive one or a combination of the following to cover the balance in full:

• Financial aid award, including scholarships, posted to the student's account.
• Personal or third party payment on account. 
• Signed payment plan agreement with down payment.

Please visit the Student Accounts website for more information.

Students and authorized users will receive an email notification when a new statement is available for viewing online. Paper statements are not mailed out.

In an effort to collect past due debt, the University will send collection letters and emails to students at their last known address.  To avoid account referral to a collection agency, students must pay the balance in full, or set up a past due payment plan within 30 days of the notice.  For accounts referred to a collection agency, students are responsible for all collection fees, the balance will be reported to a national credit bureau(s), and the University will no longer accept direct payment--in that the student must make all payments to the collection agency before conducting any further business with the University.

An account is considered past due once the due date has passed.  Student accounts may become past due for various reasons (i.e. inadequate or returned financial aid, missed payment(s) on payment plans, the addition of unpaid charges/courses after the bill due date, etc.) 

If a student does not pay the amount due by the due date, a hold may be placed on the student's account restricting course registration; a student may not be allowed to move into a residence hall until the payment is made; and a student may be subject to class schedule or housing assignment cancellation due to non-payment.  To be reinstated, payment of a $100 non-refundable re-registration fee plus the original account balance in full is required, though availability of the student's original class schedule and housing assignment is not guaranteed.  Past due accounts are also subject to a $50 late fee after a ten (10) day grace period.

Students may request a past due payment plan with the Student Accounts Office, although the hold described above will remain in place until the account balance is paid in full.  The penalties for late/non-payment above also apply to past due payment plans. Failure to make a required payment plan installment within thirty (30) days of any due date will result in the student being withdrawn from the past due payment plan and the account will be sent to a collection agency without further notice.
