Due Dates, Late Fees and Holds

BILLING & DUE DATES

E-billing statements will be sent monthly and due the 10th of each month throughout the semester.

LATE FEES AND HOLDS

Late payment fees will be assessed on balances over $500 if financial aid has not been received and there is no payment plan set up for the current term.  Late payment fee is $100.

Financial registration holds are posted to students with delinquent accounts of $501 or more during the semester.  Students will not be permitted to register for courses until the registration hold is released.

Once the semester has ended, financial holds are placed on all delinquent accounts regardless of the balance. Students will not be permitted to register for courses, add additional courses, or receive academic records (transcripts and diplomas) until the entire balance has been paid.

RETURNED PAYMENT FEE

In the event your payment is returned unpaid for any reason, a $30 Return Check Fee will be added to your myPennWest student account and a registration hold will be placed on the account until repayment is received.  Repayment should be made with a certified check or money order. Please include a copy of the notification you receive, make the check payable to PennWest University, and mail to:

PennWest University
Student Accounts Office
