Collection Policy

Students who fail to pay in full as scheduled may have their transcripts, registration, degree conferral/enrollment verifications, and diploma withheld. Additionally, students with outstanding balances may be prohibited from participating in commencement ceremonies until the outstanding balance is paid in full. 

Full payment or a designated payment method must be on file by the tuition due date. Failure to do so may result in the student being dropped from their enrolled courses prior to the start of classes. Course schedules for dropped courses will not be held. Any student with a past-due balance from spring and/or summer may have their fall classes dropped on or before August 1. The university will make every effort to contact the student and collect the outstanding balance. However, if the university’s attempts are unsuccessful, the account may be turned over to a collection agency and also may be reported to the credit bureau. The student will be responsible for all costs, including collection agency fees up to 331/3% on the assigned balance. The account could also be subject to possible attorney fees and variable court costs.
