Past Due/Delinquent Accounts

Students must pay their account balance in full by the bill due date for each semester. Enrollment changes after the payment due date may create additional tuition/fee charge which is expected to be paid immediately.  Failure to pay the student account balance in full by the due date may result in UMass Chan Medical School imposing one or more of the following actions:

Past due accounts will be assessed with a late payment fee.  If subsequently the account is still not paid in full by the required deadline, the account will be subject to denying class registration, withholding graduation or diplomas, denying readmission, and debt sent to the Commonwealth Intercept Program as well as a collection company with student being responsible for any related charges.

VA students:

  • Students who are eligible and certified to receive Veteran Affairs (“VA”) educational benefits (as defined as Vocational Rehabilitation benefits (Chapter 31) or the Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits Chapter 33) are exempt from the policy pertaining to past due accounts. As such, these students will not be penalized for late VA payments for their tuition and fees.  But students are responsible for any payments not covered by the VA.
  • Students receiving VA educational benefits are charged In-State rate for Tuition.
