Late Fees

Any account not enrolled in a payment plan or paid in full by August 15th  in the fall and January 15th in the spring, is subject to a $100 late fee. For each month thereafter a $25 late fee will apply.

All students must not owe more than $500 in order to register for subsequent semesters, receive transcripts, or diplomas. 

Registration Reminders

Returning students 
Returning students must have their account in good standing in order to be eligible to register for future semesters (not owe more than $500). Any accounts that are not current and in good standing will be placed on ‘hold’ and must be cleared by the Business Office.

NOTE: Students who are not returning in the Fall need to notify the Dean of Students’ office, in order to avoid penalties on their student account. 

Registration Holds
Students with Financial Registration holds must come into Student Accounts in the Business Office and make payment arrangements. Students with holds on their registration who do not clear the hold by the first day of classes with payment or a payment arrangement will be assessed further late fees and may have their classes canceled.  This includes students with permission to return late. 

Important Notice

While  returning students pre-register in the spring, registration is not  confirmed until all financial obligations have been satisfied. This includes payment of all previous term balances including but not limited to summer terms.
