If tuition and fees are paid by someone other than the student (such as financial aid, third party, scholarship, etc.), a valid document or formal letter from the sponsoring parties must be presented to the Bursar at the time of registration. Otherwise, students must pay the bill in full.

If a student account is not paid in full by the end of the semester or term in which it is due, the account will be turned over to a collection agency and the student will be responsible for all additional fees associated with the collection of the amount due. These collection fees will be in addition to any late fees already assessed to the account.
