Under university policies, students who owe the university tuition money, are blocked from registering for new classes and cannot obtain transcripts, diplomas, etc. until their account is brought current.However, you are legally required to enroll for classes and carry a full course load each semester.Failure to do so places your legal status in the United States in jeopardy.
If at any time during your academic career you find yourself in financial difficulty, contact the ISSS director as early as possible to discuss your situation. You will also be referred to the professional staff in the Office of Financial Aid. It is important to work with these individuals to seek a solution to your financial problem. It may be necessary to seek other sources of financial assistance to continue your education. These other sources may include obtaining a loan.
