The university requires that all deposits and fees be paid by stated deadlines, or penalties must be imposed. This includes notifying the Bursar's Office of changes of address, so that mail affecting the student's financial relationship with the university will not be delayed or returned. College Park sponsors a deferred-payment plan.
All charges incurred during a semester are payable immediately.
Returning students will not be permitted to complete registration until all financial obligations to the university, including library fines, parking violations, and other penalty fees and service charges, are paid in full. Payment for past due balances and current semester fees is due on or before the first day of classes. Students who register in advance must pay their bills in full prior to the general registration period. Students who register after the initial registration period are required to make full payment by due date indicated to avoid cancellation of their enrollment and loss of their classroom seats to other students. Although the university regularly mails bills to students, it cannot assume responsibility for their receipt.
