with Accounts Receivable, then the account will become delinquent.

A. Students owing a balance for any semester at the university are not permitted
to register for future semesters. Transcripts and diplomas are not issued until
the debt is paid-in-full. If satisfactory arrangements are not made with the
Accounts Receivable Office, the student may also face action from a third-party
collection agency.
