Failure to Pay fees

Failure to pay college financial obligations will result in a hold on your student account. Consequences of a hold are withholding of diplomas, and/or block of registration privileges.

  • All mandatory fees should be paid at the time of enrollment. Fees not paid, by the beginning of the semester, will result in a delinquent debt to the institution and a restrictive hold to your student account (future enrollment transactions). If you drop a class and have not paid the fees, you are still responsible for the debt on your account.
  • It is the responsibility of the student to drop classes by the published refund deadline dates. Mandatory fees for classes dropped after deadlines will remain on the student’s account - if not paid, and are subject to a restrictive hold being placed on student records.  Add/drop dates can be found on the Admissions and Records page under College Catalog/Class Schedule.
  • The item or items being withheld shall be released when the student pays the financial obligation. (Education Code Section 72237)
