FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AGREEMENT

COMMUNICATION

I understand and agree that Washington University uses University-assigned email accounts and University-supported systems as valid communication with me.  I am responsible for reading University communications in a timely manner. I authorize Washington University in St. Louis to contact me at current and future cellular phone numbers, personal email addresses, or wireless devices regarding my Student Account or other general information.

PROMISE TO PAY

I understand and agree that when I register for any class at or receive any service from Washington University in St. Louis (“University”), I accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees, and other associated charges assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services such as housing, dining, and other university-provided items that exceed financial support provided by the university, university payment plan, or other third party by the scheduled due dates shown on my Workday student account.

FAILURE TO PAY

I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my Student Account balance by the scheduled due dates, the University will place a Financial Hold preventing me from registering for future classes and could assess a Late Fee on the past due portion until my past due amount is paid in full. Failure to pay will result in a Delinquent Student Receivable Account. I understand and agree that Delinquent Student Accounts will be referred to University’s Collection Services department. Collection Services may report my Delinquent Account to one or more national credit bureaus, refer my Delinquent Account to a third-party collection agency, and may pursue all legal and equitable remedies to collect the monies owed to the University.

I acknowledge the published University policies regarding Student Accounts, payment options, late fees, holds, and refunds. I further understand that my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as described above.
