University policy:

The tuition is charged and payable the first day of each month. If the tuition isn’t paid by the 30th of the month (same month as incurred) services will be suspended until payment in full is received.  Typically, Accounting does not check balances until billing for the next month with the new month’s fees added.  A notice of suspension of services is sent to the program director who then notifies the family. At this point the full balance on the account should be paid before services are reinstated. Families who are continually in arrears, may be required to pay the full amount of the remaining tuition before reinstatement of services.
