ACCOUNT RESPONSIBILITIES
Understand Balances, Holds, and Withdrawal
Understand how unpaid charges can affect your registration, transcripts, housing, and other university services. Review payment obligations, disenrollment policies, and what happens to your account balance if you withdraw or plan to return.
Life University reserves the right, at any time during the quarter, to disenroll students from classes for failure to pay tuition, housing, meal plans, and fees/fines.
Student Account Holds
A Student Account hold will be placed on the record of any student with an outstanding financial obligation to the University. Until the obligation is settled, the student will not be permitted to register for further coursework or receive transcripts, including transcripts forwarded to external third parties.

- Register for future quarters.
- Receive, order, or send official transcripts.
- Receive diplomas.
- Graduate.
Disenrollment
If charges on a student’s account are not paid, the student will be disenrolled.
During the disenrolled quarter, the student will no longer be eligible to:
- Continue participating in classes.
- Participate in Work-Study jobs.
- Use meal plans.
- Remain in housing.
- Participate in the clinic/OSCE.
The student will also be assessed a 25% disenrollment charge, based on the remaining unpaid charges incurred during the disenrolled quarter.
