Fees & Debts Owed to the University

A prospective student who registers for courses offered by the University is obligated to pay fees associated with registration for those courses.  Failure to cancel registration in any course for an academic term prior to the first day of classes of the academic term gives rise to an obligation to pay student fees including any tuition for the reservation of space in the course.   (See Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 41802)

Failure to pay Registration fees by the due date may result in disenrollment from classes.

Should a student,  or former student,  fail to pay a fee or a debt owed,  the University 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 to the University.   (See Title 5, California Code of Regulations, Section 42380 and 42381)
