Due Dates, Late Fees & Holds

Billing & Due Dates

Regular monthly billings are prepared the first full week of each month and due by the 1st for the following month.

 

Late Fees and Holds

Late payment fees will be assessed on balances over $500 if financial aid has not been received and there is no payment plan set up for the current term.  Late payment fee is $100.

Financial registration holds are posted to students with delinquent accounts of $501 or more during the semester.  Students will not be permitted to register for courses until the registration hold is released.

Transcript/Diploma holds are posted to students with delinquent accounts of less than $500.  Transcripts and diplomas will not be released until the account balance is paid in full.  You will still be permitted to add additional courses and register for future semesters with this hold.

Once the semester has ended, financial holds are placed on all delinquent accounts regardless of the balance. Students will not be permitted to register for courses, add additional courses, or receive academic records (transcripts and diplomas) until the entire balance has been paid.
