Important information to know before taking on debt
Delinquent tuition accounts for prior semesters are referred to Student Debt Management. This is in addition to the monthly 1% service and late payment charge subject to all past-due accounts. If your account is referred to a third-party agency, you must pay any collection costs and attorney fees allowed by the Uniform Consumer Credit Code.
Late payment charges:
Past-due charges are assessed as once-per-term late charges, as well as monthly service charges on past-due balances. The late charge amount is based on the past-due balance. Please see the table below. The 1% service charge is 1% of the past due balance and is assessed every month a balance remains outstanding.
