The Registrar's Office, Student Life Office or Residential Life Office can place an account on academic hold. Registration for classes is precluded until any pending matter with those offices is settled.
The collections holds will permanently remain on a student account.
Any student wishing to return to the university must pay in full all of
their estimated charges prior to registration. Clearance to return to
the university is issued by the Accounts Receivable Department.
Any student with a credit balance on their student account who is
not registered for a future term or is listed as a graduating senior
will be placed on a Credit Balance Hold. The Revised Code of Washington
(RCW) 63.29 Uniform Unclaimed Property Act requires the university to
forward all unclaimed student account balances to the Washington State
Department of Revenue unless the student requests a refund or donates
their credit balance to the university.
If a student account is past due, a financial hold will be placed.
A medical hold prevents a student from registering if Health Services has not received the Medical History Form or if the student does not have the necessary immunizations.
All students are required to keep a current permanent address with
the university. If mail becomes undeliverable, an address hold will be
placed.
Any student who has written three non-sufficient funds checks or
has had checks returned for other reasons will be permanently placed on a
Non-Sufficient Funds Hold. Any student with this hold is prohibited
from writing checks to any University department.
All students are required to sign a payment contract and select a
payment option for each academic year they attend. The Payment Contract
form may be obtained through the Student Services Center.
Any student with a delinquent student account balance who is not registered for a future term will be placed on a Pre-Collection Hold and assessed a $25.00 pre-collection fee.
