Consequences of non-payment
- If you are an admitted student and your payment is not received by the initial billing due date, you will be automatically enrolled in the installment payment plan. The installment plan is not available during the May/summer term.
- Your payment in full must be received by the third installment date (or second billing date for May/summer term) or your past-due account will be referred to Student Financial Collections, the University office that collects past-due account balances. A hold may be placed on your student record any time you miss a payment.
- If payment in full is not received by the end of the current term (or second billing due date for May/summer term), your registration for future terms will be canceled.
- Seriously delinquent accounts may be referred to a collection agency.
Cancellation Policy
University policy states that all students who owe the University money for a past due term will have any current and/or future registration canceled unless/until all past due balances have been paid in full. Payments must be received, not postmarked, before the 100 percent due date for the current term to avoid cancellation of classes. You are responsible for determining and paying the amount due in full. Here's how:
Check your online student account
The total amount due will appear as the "All Accounts Balance." Tuition and fees may post to your student account two days after registration, but no earlier than six weeks before the beginning of the term.
Pay electronically with UM Pay
UM Pay is the quickest way to submit payment. Payments made online with an electronic transfer from either a bank or credit union checking or savings account are posted on the same day, if submitted by 5 p.m. central time. For information on other payment options, go to Past-due accounts.
Re-register for classes
Once you are canceled out of your class(s) for nonpayment, you will not be allowed to register until payment in full has been posted to your student account. Be advised that you have no guarantee that the same class(es) will be available. Student Financial Collections will not re-register you for any classes. You must register online or in person at any One Stop Student Services Center.
Non-degree students late payment policy
Non-degree seeking students (adult special/graduate or professional students filling out the Request for Graduate Credit for Non-Degree Students form) are required to pay all tuition and fees by the University’s first payment date for the current term. If you are a non-degree student who does not pay, you will be canceled from your class(s) for the current term. If you are canceled from a class(s) for nonpayment, you must contact a One Stop Student Services Center to re-register. Look here for registration information for non-degree students.
