Important

The University must receive the FULL amount due on or before the due date indicated on the bill. If full payment is not received by the due date, a Late Payment Penalty of 1.5% of the amount past due will be assessed, and future registration and continuing enrollment will be jeopardized.

A new Late Payment Penalty will appear both as a new transaction, and in the Late Payment Penalty box on the summary line. Adjustments to previously assessed late payment penalties will appear as a new transaction and will be included as either a New Credit or New Charge on the summary line.

If Penn accepts payment that contains or reflects “paid in full”, or other restrictive endorsements, Penn does not lose any of its rights to collect any amount due.
