All University Students must comply with the Student Account Policies as the Financial Responsibility Agreement indicates. The Office of the Bursar is authorized to place a Student Account Hold on future quarter registration for a past due balance on a Student Account.
Once a Student Account Hold is placed on a Student Account, the past due balance must be paid in full for hold automatic removal.
If the student cannot remit their past-due balance in full, they can appeal this hold.
Appeals require students to acknowledge that they have a past-due balance and have exhausted all external and institutional funding options available to them. This includes all financial aid types (loans, scholarships, grants, etc.).
Students must consult with their Office of Financial Aid and/or their Academic Program Office to confirm this outside of this appeal.
Appeals are only considered for the following circumstances:
· Students are requesting an extension to pay the past due balance in full by the term Bill Due Dates for their next term of enrollment. *Students must also submit a payment toward their past balance. We ask that students please advise us of the payment amount they will be submitting.
· Students have been approved for financial aid/scholarships to fund their past-due balance.
· Students have submitted proof of payment reflecting payment in full, which will be forwarded to the University.
Please have the student provide details to support their selections above and upload attachments for review if applicable to their circumstances.
The Student Account Hold Appeal will be reviewed within 2-3 business days, and a decision regarding their appeal will be communicated via their UChicago email account.
