Delinquent Account Policy

Central Michigan University issues monthly billing statements electronically via the QuikPAY Billing System.  Billing notifications are sent to CMU global email addresses every time a bill is ready for review. For a schedule of when these statements are issued, please visit the Billing Statement Information and Due Dates page. Students are responsible for accessing these monthly email statements for their account balances and payment due dates. Students will incur late fees if the monthly balance is not paid by 5:00pm Eastern Time on the scheduled due date. Past due accounts may be referred to a collection agency and, if referred, the fees assessed to the University by the collection agency will be added to the student's account. Once the account is referred to a collection agency, the past due account will be reported to the Credit Bureau.

All payments that are received are posted to oldest charges on the account first, rather than the most recent charges.

Monthly Late Fees will be assessed to the accounts as follows:

        $0.01 - $9.99 | No late fee
        $10.00 - $59.99 | $1.00 per month
        $60.00 and up | $30.00 per month

Please also note that if any portion of a past due balance includes tuition, a $100 Non-Payment of Tuition Charge will be assessed to the student account.

If you have questions, please email us at recacct@cmich.edu or call (888)-610-4991.
