A list of tuition and fee delinquencies will be sent to the Finance Committee. Please notify the office as soon as possible if you are unable to pay delinquent fees or tuition. If tuition and/or other fees have not been paid by the end of the semester without making previous arrangements with the administration, a student's placement will not be held for the next semester.
