Due to Federal regulations on a student's right to privacy, bills are in the student's name and therefore the student has the responsibility of payment. For this reason, bills and information about the students account can only be sent to the student's name and address that they provided us with in our system. If a parent/guardian is accepting responsibility for making payments, it is the student's responsibility to forward the necessary paperwork to the parent/guardian.

There are several reasons for why students have holds. The most common reasons are:

Student Accounts Office: You may have an outstanding balance.

Health Services: You may need to turn in a copy of your immunization records.

Counselor: You may need to set up an appointment with a counselor.

If you have recently taken care of one of these issues and still have a hold, it can take up to one full business day to clear the hold. If it has been longer then that, please contact the appropriate office directly.
