Important Information This Schedule of Fees is your resource guide to financial services at Morehouse College. Consult it first when you have basic questions about transactions on your student account. Actual charges and payments are reflected on your student account, which you can access via Tiger Net.

PAYMENT OPTIONS You must have one of these payment arrangements in place by the payment due date or your class registration may be canceled.

HOLDS & DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS Student Financial Services is committed to helping you resolve your delinquent balance. If your account becomes delinquent, contact our office immediately so we can discuss your options. All charges due to Morehouse College must be paid in full by the payment due date published each semester. Students whose accounts are delinquent will not be permitted to register for the next term or receive transcripts or diplomas. Morehouse College may require payment of a delinquent account to be in the form of certified funds, such as cash, money order, or a cashier s check. Collections Process The student receivable process begins when charges are posted to your student account. If your student account is not paid by the due date, a past due balance hold will be placed and further collection efforts will be made to collect the amount owed. If your account is sent to an external collection agency, additional fees may be added to the balance due. These fees may add up to over 33-1/3% of the original balance due. In addition, a delinquency report may be filed with a credit bureau. Page 3
