Late Fees

At the time a student registers for classes the student agrees to assume financial responsibility for any charges and/or fees as posted to his/her student account. This financial obligation is legally binding whether the student accesses the electronic billing information on CARMELink or the account is being paid by the student or by another person.

A $100.00 late registration fee is charged to a student who fails to register for classes before 10 business days prior to the semester start date (Fall, Spring or Summer).

A $150.00 late fee may be charged to a student who fails to pay the projected account balance or who does not have a Bursar’s Office approved payment plan by the due date on the Course and Fee Statement. To determine the projected account balance, deduct the approved financial aid for the semester from the account statement balance. Payments must be received by the Bursar’s Office by the due date indicated on the Course and Fee Statement in order to avoid the late fee. A postmark prior to the due date is not sufficient.

If an account must be sent to collection or litigation due to nonpayment of the outstanding balance, Mount Carmel reserves the right to recover all costs involved with the collection and/or litigation of delinquent accounts. Mount Carmel College of Nursing is a non-profit institution of higher learning. As such, student receivable accounts are considered to be educational loans offered for the sole purpose of financing an education and are not dischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings.
