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 first billing due date for May/summer term) or your past-due account will be referred to Student Account Assistance, 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 the Minnesota Department of Revenue, or a collection agency. Any charges incurred from this action will be assessed to you.
Cancellation policy
According to University policy you must pay in full all past due balances from a previous term or your current and/or future registration will be canceled. Your payment must be received, not postmarked, before the third due date for the current term (first due date for the May/summer term) to avoid cancellation of classes. You are responsible for determining and paying the amount due in full. Here's how:
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.
Payments made online with an electronic transfer from either a bank or credit union checking or savings account are posted instantly to your University student account. 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 Account Assistance will not re-register you for any classes. You must register online at onestop.umn.edu or in person at any One Stop Student Services Center.
Non-degree students late payment policy
Non-degree students (adult special/graduate or professional students filling out the Registration Request for Graduate Credit--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.
