Fall 2011 Payment Deadlines

A student's current account balance, less awarded financial aid, is due by 11:59 p.m. August 12, 2011. The Bursar's Office closes at 5:00 p.m. so payments made after this time must be made through your LoboWeb account. Students who do not pay this Enrollment Cancellation Balance or set up a payment plan on or before this payment deadline will have their registration cancelled due to lack of financial commitment.

NOTE:

  • Students can view Enrollment Cancellation Balance on LoboWeb.
  • Students registering after July 14, 2011, will not receive an eBill prior to the payment deadline.
  • Failure to receive a Statement of Account does not relieve students of responsibility for payment.
  • Installment payment plans for the Fall semester may be completed online via LoboWeb beginning July 15, 2011.
  • Students registering on or after August 12, 2011, who do not drop within the published refund deadlines, will be responsible for payment of all tuition and fees.
  • Awarded financial aid will be included in the calculation of the Enrollment Cancellation Balance.

A student whose registration has been cancelled and has a past due balance must pay the past due balance before re-registering. A $30.00 non-refundable late registration fee will be added to the student's account for registration on or after August 22, 2011. Re-registration into classes is the responsibility of the student.

Returned Checks Policy

When a check is received by the University and is returned for non payment, an aggressive effort is made to collect the amount of the check from the issuer. The University will take the actions listed below.

  • A returned-check fee of $15 is charged to the issuer.
  • Check, plus any associated fees, is paid in full. After the second occurrence of a returned check, the issuer's check-cashing privileges are suspended for six (6) months. After the third occurrence of a returned check, the issuer's check-cashing privileges are permanently cancelled.
  • A hold is placed on all student registration, transcripts, and other University Services until the amount of the original check, plus any associated fees are paid. If the check was used to pay for charges eligible for Enrollment Cancellation and is not redeemed prior to the Enrollment Cancellation deadline, the student is removed from all classes after seven (7) working days, unless full payment is made prior to that time. The student is notified immediately by letter of the impending removal.
  • If the check was originally submitted for deposit by a UNM department, the amount of the check is charged back to the department originally credited. The Bursar's Office will initiate collection efforts.
  • If preliminary collection procedures are unsuccessful the account is referred to the University's collection agency. Legal action may be taken to collect any returned checks.
