Payment Policy Link to section
All students are required to complete a Financial Responsibility Agreement when onboarding in UR Student. Students are unable to register for classes until this agreement is completed.
If full payment is not received by the due date, the University will assess a late payment fee of 1% of the amount past due.
A Past Due Balance hold is placed on all accounts with a past due balance of $100 or greater. Students with a Past Due Balance hold are not allowed to register for the next semester, drop/add courses, or participate in a housing lottery. Students with delinquent balances at the end of a semester may be withdrawn from the University. All prior-year balances must be paid in full before the start of the next academic year. Students who submit a check or ACH payment that is rejected by their bank are subject to cancellation of registration for the current semester and withdrawal from the University unless acceptable arrangements are promptly made. For additional information, students should contact the Bursar’s Office at bursar@rochester.edu.
