Tuition and Fees

Any past due student account (i.e. balances created by withdrawal from the institution or reduction in financial aid) deemed as uncollectable (180 days) may be referred to an outside collection agency. A student, who is delinquent in their financial obligations to the University, or to any facet of the University community, will not be allowed to register for the next term, to transfer credits to another school, to receive academic transcripts, or to graduate from the University. In some instances the financially delinquent student may be enjoined by the appropriate University official from attending classes for which enrolled and/or from taking final examinations.

Payment must be made by cash, check, money order, credit card or a confirmed financial aid award. Registration is complete for students paying by check or credit card when the check/card clears the bank.
