Should a student or former student fail to pay a fee or a debt owed to the institution, the institution may “withhold permission to register, to use facilities for which a fee is authorized to be charged, to receive services, materials, food or merchandise or any combination of the above from any person owing a debt” until the debt is paid (see Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Sections 42380 and 42381).
Prospective students who register for courses offered by the university are obligated for the payment of fees associated with registration for those courses. Failure to cancel registration in any course for an academic term prior to the first day of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to pay student fees including any tuition for the reservation of space in the course.
The institution may withhold permission to register or to receive official transcripts of grades or other services offered by the institution from anyone owing fees or another debt to the institution. If a person believes he or she does not owe all or part of an asserted unpaid obligation that person may contact the Bursar's Office. The Bursar's Office, or another office on campus to which the Bursar's Office may refer the person, will review all pertinent information provided by the person and available to the campus and will advise the person of its conclusions.
Failure to pay full registration fees when due or to clear any debt by the given deadline will result in an additional Administrative Fee or cancellation of classes. Also, for failure to respond to university collection efforts, delinquent accounts will be referred to outside collection agencies. Students are responsible for any collection costs that accrue.
