Any address or phone number associated with an account, currently or in the future, including wireless telephone numbers, regardless of whether it incurs charges or not, can be used in this collection effort.
In the event that a student or client of the University defaults on payment, the student or client will be required to reimburse to the University the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 33% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys鈥� fees we incur in such collection efforts.

The Accounts Receivable Office is responsible for collecting outstanding debts owed to many departments in the University by students and staff in the student account. The Accounts Receivable office does not house back up documentation supporting charges. Questions about individual charges should be directed to the department. If the department agrees to issue a credit they will notify the department of Accounts Receivable to make an adjustment to the student account. Only the department that initiated the charge can authorize a credit/removal.
