The Returned and Invalidated Payments on Past Due Student Balances, approved and signed by President Tripathi, is available in the University Policy Library

Overview

The University at Buffalo requires students to meet all financial responsibilities owed to the university. Payments submitted to the university, including those to satisfy past due balances, must be valid and collectible. Payments made to resolve past due student account balances and to lift registration holds that are later returned, reversed, or invalidated, due to non-sufficient funds (NSF), stop payment, or disputed credit card transactions may result in immediate administrative action. 

Applicability

This policy applies to:

  • All students and authorized payers
  • Payments made by check, electronic check (ACH), or credit card
  • Payments to clear past due balances to allow registration for current or future semesters
