Letter to Parents of First Year and Transfer Students
from Steve Woods
Director of Student Accounts
Note: Payment of tuition and all other fees becomes an obligation of the student at the time of registration. Prior to the deadline for adding classes, students must have their accounts paid in full (with the exception of pending financial aid), or have a current monthly payment contract. An account is considered past due if the balance is not paid within 30 days after the beginning of the semester. According to University policy, no student may begin a new term with a balance owing from previous term attended.
Any student owing a balance and not currently registered may request extended billing for an additional $100 enrollment fee. CLU has contracted with an off-site billing service to provide monthly billing to non-registered students.
