Delinquent Accounts
Students experiencing financial difficulties should contact the Office of the Bursar promptly to arrange for the payment of their outstanding balance to avoid the following collection actions.

When University charges (room, meals, fees, and others) are not paid on a timely basis, the Office of the Bursar will seek to collect the past due monies. As part of this process, service charges will be assessed. It is possible that a student's grades and/or transcript and other services may be withheld and room, meals, and/or registration may be cancelled. If satisfactory arrangements cannot be made to clear an outstanding account, as a last resort, the account will be referred to a third party for collection and the delinquency reported to the credit bureau. When extra costs (collection, attorney, litigation) are experienced, these costs will be added to the unpaid balance and will become the responsibility of the person/party owing the unpaid balance.
