How to Request a Waiver of Late Registration Fee
The late registration fee of $80.00 is assessed on student bills not paid by the first day of class for a semester. This late registration fee is authorized for all students. An additional late registration fee in the amount of $80.00 will be assessed to all students who, with the University's approval, register after the 15th instructional day.
The University reserves the right to extend the registration period or waive the late registration fee if circumstances reasonably beyond the control of the student caused the student to be unable to pay for their schedule. All waiver requests must be timely and not more than 30 days after the start of a semester. Documentation to substantiate the student's claim is required.
