• If payment is not received in full or if you are not enrolled in a payment plan by the payment due date, your courses will be dropped.
• An overdue balance may prevent access to services, such as future enrollment, transcripts and diplomas.
• Unpaid accounts are subject to collection procedures and will be sent to the State Central Collection Unit; a 17% collection fee will be added to the unpaid amount.
