Payment of Invoice

As you prepare for the academic year, we would like to provide you with information about relevant financial policies and procedures related to your upcoming payment obligations.

 FALL SEMESTER

The payment deadline for Fall Semester charges is August 31.  If you anticipate a problem meeting the payment deadline, please contact the Office of Student Accounts prior to August 31. Unless your account is paid on time, a 1.5% late fee (minimum $5) will be charged to your account. If you are not enrolling for the fall semester, please notify the Dean of your school by the deadline. It is Vanderbilt University's objective to reduce financial risk to you and the University; therefore, unless your account is cleared by August 31 your Vanderbilt Card Account funds and YES access may not be available and you will not be allowed to register or attend classes.

 SPRING SEMESTER

The payment deadline for Spring Semester charges is December 31.  If you anticipate a problem meeting the payment deadline, please contact the Office of Student Accounts prior to December 31. Unless your account is paid on time, a 1.5% late fee (minimum $5) will be charged to your account. If you are not enrolling for the spring semester, please notify the dean of your school by the deadline. It is Vanderbilt University's objective to reduce financial risk both to you and the University; therefore, unless your account is cleared by December 31, your Vanderbilt Card Account funds and YES access will not be available and you will not be allowed to register or attend classes.

Students and guarantors will be responsible for payment of all costs, including reasonable attorney fees and collection agency fees, incurred by the University in collection monies owed to the University. The University will assess a $25.00 fee for any check returned by the bank and reserves the right to invoke the laws of the State of Tennessee governing bad checks.
