Late Payments

Student account balances not resolved by their due date, will be flagged with a financial hold. This financial hold will prevent students from registering for classes, changing their course schedule, participating in senior week activities, the graduation ceremony and from obtaining diplomas.

Accounts with unresolved balances are subject to late payment fees of $100.00.

If a balance remains unpaid the account will be assigned to the Bentley University Collection Department.  If an acceptable payment arrangement cannot be reached, the account will be assigned to a collection agency.  There are several consequences that accompany that action:

• The account will be reported in a default/collection agency status to the credit bureau.  This may prevent the student from obtaining credit in the future.
• The student will be assessed collection fees between 25% and 50% and possible legal fees in addition to the outstanding balance owed to Bentley University.
• Any future classes that the student plans on taking at Bentley University must be prepaid (in full) via certified funds.
