Delinquent Accounts/Offset of Funds

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS

In the event of a past due balance of any nature on the student’s account, diplomas will not be issued; enrollment for subsequent terms will not be allowed; college credits will not be transferred; and transcripts of college credits will not be released until the balance is paid in full.

Failure to meet financial obligations of any kind to the University could also subject the student to eviction from University housing; suspension of future services; referral of the student’s delinquent account to a collection agency; and the assessment of additional late payment charges, transcript hold fees, attorney’s fees, and other costs and charges necessary for the collection of any amount not paid when due.

 OFFSET OF FUNDS

If a student’s University account has an outstanding balance and the University has in its possession any funds payable to the student (from payments or credits applied to the student’s account, payroll checks, and/or any other source except as noted in the "Use of Federal Financial Aid to Pay Prior Year Charges" section), the University reserves the right to withhold the funds necessary to clear the student’s outstanding balance and to cover any collection costs incurred. Once those amounts are paid, any remaining funds are paid to the student.
