3361:20-17-01 Collections: student billing policies.

(A) Students are billed for tuition and fees prior to the beginning of a term or upon registration for the term. Tuition and fees generally include the instructional, general, information technology and instructional equipment (ITIE) fees, residence life fees, student health insurance and other fees that may be approved. Certain non-tuition-related charges will also be included on a student’s bill and be subject to the established due dates. (B) Due dates are established each term for the payment in full of tuition and fees. An externally administered payment plan is available to students who are unable to pay in full by the due date. This plan offers several payment options to students with each term’s fees due and payable by the end of that term. The third-party administrator of the plan is responsible for billing the students who enroll. The administrator is also responsible for communicating the student’s account status to the university and for remitting the fees collected from students to the university in accordance with an agreed upon schedule. The accounts of students who default on their payment plan are returned to the university for billing and collection. (C) Students are allowed to register for subsequent terms and to receive grades, transcripts and diplomas only when they are in good financial standing. Students are considered to be in good financial standing when all obligations owed to the university of Cincinnati are paid in full. Financial obligations are cleared through the finance division.
