Late Payment Penalties—Drop for Nonpayment

The University must receive the full amount due on or before the bill’s due date or have a payment agreement in place. If full payment is not received by the due date, a late payment penalty will be added. Requests to waive the late fee will not be granted.

Students who do not satisfy their account by the specified deadline will also be dropped from classes for nonpayment.

Students dropped from classes for nonpayment may re-register for classes until the semester add/drop deadline. Re-registration requires students to promptly satisfy their semester bill. Original schedules will not be preserved; re-registration will be subject to course availability.

If you are dropped for nonpayment, you will need to follow the action items presented to you in your Pace Portal account.

Students who cannot resolve their account issues are encouraged to cancel their housing application as soon as possible to maximize their eligibility for a deposit refund.
