TUITION STATEMENTS:
Monthly tuition statements are mailed to the address you have on file with the University. If you move, it is your responsibility to report the new address to the University.

INTEREST CHARGES:
Interest charges of 1.5 percent of your unpaid tuition balance is added to your account on the last day of each month. Charges for classes that have not started prior to the date that the interest charges will be applied are deducted from your account balance before the interest is computed.

A late payment penalty of $50.00 is added to your account if you still have a tuition balance on the last day of the semester.
FINANCIAL HOLDS:
If you have an unpaid tuition balance when pre-enrollment for the next semester begins, a financial hold is placed on your account. Enrollment in future semesters while you still have a tuition balance is prohibited.
