Assistance for Balance Due
This page contains general information for students with student account balances due and/or registration holds. When a student fails to pay the balance due on his/her account, the Student Accounts Office may place registration holds on those accounts. A hold blocks schedule changes, pre-registration, and the processing of transcripts and/or diplomas.
Please review this information carefully. If you feel your situation calls for individual attention, please do not hesitate to contact the office indicated. A staff member will be happy to assist you. Office hours are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm weekdays.
