Service Blocks

The University Rules authorize the Collections Office to restrict any services, including the release of records (grades, transcripts, and diploma) and registration for future quarters, until any past due amount owed to the university, including but not limited to fees, tuition, charges, fines, and loans due to the university, are paid in full.

University Rule 20-17-02, item B states that the necessary procedures are adopted to ensure that payments on account are made promptly and for the full amount due. Procedures to guarantee payment of such accounts shall include, but not be limited to: billings; collection letters; telephone contacts; use of collection agencies; referral to counsel for litigation; withholding transcripts, grades and diplomas; and denial of the ability to register for future terms.

University Rule 20-31-06, item C states that the student shall be responsible for discharging all his/her university financial obligations, such as payment of deferred fees, housing fees, tuition, laboratory fees, matriculation fees, or delinquent obligations. Students who are delinquent in paying charges accrued in a previous quarter may be denied the right to receive transcripts, grades, or diplomas until such fees are paid in full.

If you have been informed that you have a service block on your account, you must contact the university office that initiated the service block. The office will instruct you in the specific procedures you will need to follow to clear the service blocks. Each university office is responsible for removing its specific blocks.
