Missed the due date?
Your student account will be charged a late payment fee of $20 each month that it’s past due. Late fees are costly, and you can avoid them easily by paying the amount due by the due date.
A past due account hold is placed when a student has a financial obligation to the University that is considered delinquent. A student will not be able to make any schedule changes or register for classes until this hold has been released.
Holds will be placed on past due accounts at the beginning of week 5 of classes.
For the 2023-2024 academic year, holds will be placed on the following dates:
Fall 2023 classes begin August 21, 2023: Holds will be placed on September 18, 2023
Spring 2024 classes begin January 08, 2024: Holds will be placed on February 05, 2024
Summer 2024 classes:
Summer I: begins May 13, 2024: Holds will be placed on June 10, 2024
Summer II: begins May 13, 2024: Holds will be placed on July 22, 2024
