It is University policy to collect bills as expeditiously as possible. Money owed the University is due and payable when the first statement or billing is issued. An account is considered overdue if payment is delayed more than 30 days after billing and an account becomes delinquent if it remains unpaid 60 days after the first bill is issued.

Delinquent accounts of University employees, including employed students (with the exception of those on work-study), shall be recovered by deduction from salaries or wages if there is a written authorization from the employee.

Delinquent accounts of non-University persons, including students and employees whose association with the University has been terminated, shall be referred to a collection agency. In addition, the University will not issue transcripts for former students having delinquent accounts with the University. Accounts must be paid in full before transcripts are issued.
