It is the student’s responsibility to read all correspondence from the University and if they do not understand it, to seek the advice of the department that has sent it.

Past Due Accounts

In the event that you fail to pay your account, causing it to be referred to a collection agency, you are responsible for payment of the account, all additional collection fees, attorney’s fees, and related charges. Delinquent accounts are reported to credit bureaus. This will have a negative impact on your credit history. Transcripts, diplomas and registration will be held.
