due payment with an electronic check or debit card on a semester that has a billing hold, you will be subject to a 10-business day waiting period before your billing hold is removed to ensure the check clears and is not returned by the bank. Please know that this 10-business day waiting period will begin on the date of the most recent returned payment, and this waiting period will be enforced for one calendar year. If you have no other returned payment within that year, the student will no longer be
subject to the 10-business day waiting period when paying with an electronic check or debit card. If you have 5 or more returned payments, you will then have to wait 10 business days for any payment made with an electronic check or debit card going forward before your hold is removed.
Lastly, please also know that when a payment is returned by the bank for insufficient funds( or any other reason), the bank charges a returned payment fee of $ 50, that will need to be paid by the student.

Additional information can be found on the Student Billing webpage. Students can sign up for the payment plan through their Self-Service account under the Student Finance tile on their Colleague Self-Service account.
