Deliquent Payments

Failure to make payments as agreed will result in the University terminating all financial arrangements, canceling registration  and denying all University services until the balance is paid in full. 

All prior and current semester charges must be paid in full by the semester payment deadline to avoid cancellation of registration. If the account balance is not paid in full or a payment plan has not been established by the published deadline, the account is subject to a late payment fee and a Financial hold is placed on the student account.

Financial holds are not removed until the account balance is paid, a payment agreement is established, or there is sufficient "approved" financial aid pending to clear the balance and to obtain financial approval. Furthermore, financial aid must be awarded and accepted by the student. For more information, see Financial Approval of Registration or our FAQ on completing an Authorization to apply federal Financial Aid to prior-year charges

The University requires that all accounts be paid in full by the end of the semester.  Any account that remains delinquent will be transferred to the  Student Loan Department for servicing.  Once the account is transferred, the Student Account balance is subject to, but not limited to, accrued interest, late charges, collection fees, court costs and any legal fees associated with the collection of this debt. In accordance with California State law, all unpaid balances accrue 10% interest, per annum, on the balance remaining, from the date of default. Additionally, the Student Note will be reported monthly to one or more of the major credit bureaus, and/or forwarded to an outside collection agency or attorney for assistance in recovering the debt owed to the University. 

A student with a prior collection account is required to pre-pay all future charges of tuition, room and meal plans,  insurance costs and other miscellaneous fees, in guaranteed funds, prior to registering for any courses at the University.
