I understand that by entering into this Student Enrollment and Financial Responsibility Agreement (“Agreement”), I accept full academic and financial responsibility for the courses in which I have enrolled and agree to comply with and be governed by University of Bridgeport policies and procedures as set forth in the Catalog, Key to UB, Handbook, University of Bridgeport website or other publication, as amended from time to time.
Payment of charges/Promise to Pay
I accept full responsibility and agree to pay all charges, fees, and other costs (the “Charges”) assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services. These Charges generally include tuition, fees, housing, meal plans or other miscellaneous costs. I understand and agree that I will make acceptable payment arrangements no later than the first day of University classes. Acceptable payment arrangements are as follows:
- Payment in full
- Approved financial aid covering all charges
- Participation in an approved third-party payment agreement
- Enrollment in an approved payment plan
Additionally, if I elect to participate in a third-party payment agreement or approved payment plan, I understand that I must make all payments in a timely manner in order to be in good financial standing and eligible to receive grades, transcripts, diplomas and future services.
Withdrawal/Temporary Absence
I understand and agree that I will not receive any refund or reduction for any temporary absence from class(es) or residence halls. I further understand and agree that if I withdraw from some or all of the courses for which I register, any refund shall be made only according to the refund schedule delineated in the University’s Catalog. I have read the terms and conditions of the refund schedule and understand that those terms are incorporated herein by reference.
Delinquent Accounts
I understand that two (2) weeks after the first day of class, past due student accounts are considered delinquent in nature. I understand and agree that if I accrue a delinquent balance, in order to continue in the class(es) for which I have registered, I must make immediate payment in full or agree to and fulfill the terms of the Past-Due Tuition Repayment Agreement (the “Delinquency Agreement”).
Cancellation of Registration/Collection
I understand and agree that if I fail to timely satisfy the terms of this Agreement, the University may in its absolute discretion cancel my registration and terminate enrollment, or refer my past due balance to an outside collection agency. I further understand and agree that I am responsible for paying all late fees, costs of collection, and any reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in the collection of my past due account.
Holds
I understand and agree that if my account is past due, the University will place a hold on my account. The hold will prevent me from: registering for additional courses, adding or dropping courses, accessing my grades, requesting transcripts, receiving my diploma and having access to other University services. Further, the hold will not be lifted until my account is paid in full.
Late Payment Charges
I understand and agree to pay a late fee of $75 for any month that my account is past due, which will accrue every 30 days until my balance is paid in full.
Communication
I understand that the University uses UBMail (powered by Google) as the official method of communication with me, and that I am responsible for timely reading any and all email communications, including but not limited billing statements, which are generally emailed to students who have pre-registered four (4) weeks in advance of the first day of classes. I also understand that if I register late, I must request a bill at the time of registration.
The University generally provides reminder statements via email every two (2) weeks, as well as notice of hold or late fees when applicable. I understand and agree that I am responsible for all charges and that my failure to review or receive a billing statement does not excuse my responsibility to pay.
Student Age
I understand and agree that if I am younger than 18 years of age when I execute this Agreement that the educational services provided by the University are a necessity, and I am contractually obligated pursuant to the doctrine of necessaries.

By clicking the ‘Accept’ box accompanying this Agreement online, or marking the box to left of this message when submitting the form in paper format, I am consenting to be bound by this Agreement, thereby (1) obligating me to pay my Charges, together with all fees and costs set forth above, and (2) affirming my acceptance of University policies and procedures, as set forth above.
