Late Fees, Refunds for Withdrawals

Late Payment Fees

The U of M third party billing policy includes a late fee of $90 per student when payment is not received within 45 days of the billing date.

If payment is not received within 45 days of the billing date, a late payment fee of $90 per student will be assessed to the school. After 60 days of nonpayment, a hold will be placed on the school’s record that will prevent students from being able to register for future U of M courses offered through CIS. The hold will not be released until the past due balance is paid in full.

After sending the initial invoice, Third Party Billing cannot guarantee they will contact schools regarding nonpayment. Notification of the account hold will be sent to the high school’s billing address.

Refunds for Withdrawals

If a student drops a class during a registration period, the school or district will not be billed for that student’s registration in that class. If the school or district has already been billed for that student, a credit will be issued. If a student withdraws after the deadline to register/drop, the U of M and CIS will not grant a refund.

U of M bills are mailed directly to the contact person designated by the school on the annual Memorandum of Agreement between the school and CIS. Invoices are sent monthly. Students in the same class may be registered in different University billing periods, which would cause the school to receive more than one invoice for a single class. While a school may receive more than one invoice for a U of M course offered through CIS, the school will be billed only once for each student registration.
