Deferred Payment Plan
Summer 2008 Deferred Payment Plan:
Michigan Tech offers a deferred payment plan that can divide your student billing expenses over 3 payments during the semester for a non-refundable $50 fee per semester.
Deferred payment plan contracts will be made available when on-line bills are available.
** Please wait until you receive an email confirming your payment plan is approved before making the first payment.**
The first payment is due by 4:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, May 7th and will be 100% of any prior unpaid balance plus one third of the current semester’s balance. The current amount due is all charges for tuition/housing for the semester less that semester’s financial aid. This payment confirms the student’s enrollment for the summer 2008 semester. Payments made after 4pm on May 7th and up to 4pm on May 14th are subject to a non-refundable $50 late enrollment fee. If payment is not received by 4pm on May 14th the student’s course schedule is dropped and the payment must be processed before the student can reschedule their classes. Payment made after 4pm on May 14th are assessed a non-refundable $100 late enrollment/registration fee.
The second payment is due by 4:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, June 4th and will be one half of the current account balance. If payment is late a non-refundable $25 late payment fee will be assessed and a hold will be placed on the account preventing registration and receiving of grades, transcripts, or diploma until payment is made.
The third payment is due by 4:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, July 2nd and will be the account balance in its entirety. If payment is late a non-refundable $25 late payment fee will be assessed and a hold will be placed on the account preventing registration and receiving of grades, transcripts, or diploma until payment is made.
Please review your account on Banweb before making the second and third payments as the amount of the payments will be adjusted if you make changes to your schedule or housing arrangements or if there is an adjustment to your financial aid award.
Rent payments are due according to your rent contract.
Financial Aid can not be used to make all or part of any payment, this includes private loan checks. Payments are calculated according to the amount the student owes less all financial aid. If you receive additional financial aid please contact the Accounts Receivable Office so that your payments can be adjusted.
Future deferred payment plans may be denied if the student defaults on their current plan. The student will be responsible for any collection costs associated with the collection of the account balance.
To take part in the deferred payment plan the Accounts Receivable Office must receive and approve the signed deferred payment plan promissory note. The note is available by clicking the button at the bottom of the on-line bill and must be printed off, signed and returned to the Accounts Receivable Office for approval. If you have defaulted on prior deferred payment plans this button will not appear. The student will receive an email once the promissory note has been received and approved by the Accounts Receivable staff. The student can then sign on to the Student Information Services Banweb and click on the payment plan button at the bottom of the on-line bill to make their payment. If the promissory note is not received payment for the full amount is required to confirm enrollment.
Fall 2008 Deferred Payment Plan dates:
First payment due by 5:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, August 27th
Second payment due by 5:00pm Eastern on Wednesday, September 24th
Final payment due by 5:00pm Easter on Wednesday, October 22nd

Installment Payment Plan

Michigan Tech Delinquent Accounts Policy
Student accounts are the financial responsibility of the student and the student is considered the account holder even if payments are being made by another person such as a parent or guardian. In accordance with FERPA we are not able to give out account information to anyone but the account holder.
The following information also applies to non-student accounts with Michigan Tech.
All account balances are due within 30 days unless otherwise posted on the billing statement or on-line bill. Holds preventing university services are placed on past due accounts. A hold may prevent registration, future enrollment, and release of a grades, transcript or diploma, or further business with the university until the debt is paid in full.
Accounts that are more than 90 days past due are subject to additional collection action and in some cases additional collection fees. It is advised that if the account holder is not able to pay the delinquent balance in full at this point that they refer to the Delinquent Account Payment Plan Contract or contact the Collections Coordinator at 906-487-2243 or 800-576-6484 to discuss payment options.
If we do not hear from the account holder concerning payment on a delinquent account before the account is 120 days past due we will refer the account to an outside collection agency. An account that is referred to a collection agency may be subject to additional collection costs. Michigan Tech will also disclose that the account holder has defaulted, along with other relevant information, to credit reporting agencies which will have a negative impact on the account holder's credit history.
Delinquent account holders may use the Delinquent Account Payment Plan Contract prior to the account being 120 days past do to set up a payment plan. Ideally we would like to see the account paid in full within one year's time. For student accounts, a hold preventing university services, including registration for classes, release of grades, transcript, or diploma will remain on a delinquent account until the balance is paid in full. For vender accounts, a hold preventing further business with the university will remain on a delinquent account until the balance is paid in full.
Delinquent Account Payment Plan Contracts are subject to approval by Michigan Tech and once approved, it is the account holder's responsibility to make monthly payments. We accept cash, check or credit cards for payment. Please note that we do not accept any payments by fax or phone.
If a payment is missed the account will be assessed a $25 a month late fee. If there is a default in payment as agreed the account will be referred to an outside collection agency and may be assessed additional collection costs.
It is important that the Accounts Receivable Office has a current mailing address and email for the account holder as this is our primary way of communicating with the account holder.
To discuss payment options please contact the Collections Coordinator at 906-487-2243 or 800-576-6484.
Once an account has been referred to an outside collection agency the account holder must contact that agency directly to discuss payment.
