Part 5. Registration Charges

§ 3-509 Students in Debt to the University

(a) A monetary penalty of $25 is assessed the student for each check he or she presents to the University that is returned by the bank to the Office of Student Accounts and Cashiers for insufficient funds or other reasons. The privileges of paying by check may be suspended when more than one check is returned to the University. Additional penalties, including dismissal from the University, may be imposed on students who permit their University accounts to become past due or who issue checks that are returned to the University unpaid.

(b) A student who is in debt to the University at the end of any academic term shall not be permitted to register in the University again and shall not be entitled to receive his or her diploma or an official statement or transcript of credits until the indebtedness has been paid or suitable arrangements for payment have been made unless there is pending a bankruptcy petition of the student seeking a discharge of all such indebtedness or all such indebtedness has been discharged.
