Past due accounts  

A financial hold will be placed on all accounts where the balance is 30 days or more past due.  late payment fees may be applied as follows:

 

Past Due Amount	Late Fee
$20 - $50	$5
$50.01 - $100	$15
$100.01 - $500	$25
$500.01 - $1,000	$35
$1000.01 and above	$50

 

Students with a financial hold will not be able to register for classes, receive refunds, obtain transcripts, diplomas or certificates of degree.  (Arizona Board of Regents Policy 4-103B)

If it becomes necessary to pursue collection of any past due account balance through outside sources (collection agency, AZ Attorney General, or local attorney) reasonable collection costs, attorney fees, court costs, and contingency fees will also be added to the outstanding balance.

Northern Arizona University may also request your state tax refund from the State of Arizona Department of Revenue.  If the university is receiving any payment from a tax refund, written notifications will be sent to the account holder.

Returned checks

Important: Any check returned by the bank will result in the assessment of a $30.00 processing fee.

Payers making payment to clear a  hold with a check should ensure that they have funds to cover the amount of the check.  If these checks are returned due to non-sufficient funds it may result in legal action.

Northern Arizona University reserves the right to refuse credit/debit cards or checks for any transaction.

Paying for the use of other university services by personal check may be disallowed for any individual who has a check returned by the bank.

If any payment tendered is unauthorized, incomplete, or received after the due date, registration fees will be considered as unpaid. 

The university reserves the right to change all fees and charges without notice.
