Collection Department (Past Due Not Currently Enrolled)
Students with outstanding balances at the end of the term or who withdraw during the term and have a balance owing are subject to the following collection actions:
- Registration and Transcript service blocks prevent students from obtaining their grades, and transcripts.
- Students enrolled in future terms may be subject to having their classes administratively canceled for non-payment of their previous balance.
- YSU will attempt to contact the student via e-mail, letters, and calls. If we are unable to establish an In-House payment plan, the account will be turned over to the Ohio Attorney General as required by state law. Once an account is turned over to the Ohio Attorney General fees (10% AG fee, 3% Interest, 21% Collection Agency Fee, 25% Special Counsel Fee) will be added to the balance due depending on the actions necessary to collect the debt due the University. All payment arrangements must be made through their office.
- Once in collections with the Ohio Attorney General, under no circumstances may a student be allowed to obtain an official transcript or enroll at the University until the entire balance due is paid in full. In addition, the student will now be considered a pre-pay and must pre-pay for all future terms enrolled.
- YSU will report the outstanding debt to the major credit bureaus.
In-House payment arrangements
Students with outstanding balances have the option of making payment arrangements with YSU which will keep the account from being reported to the Ohio Attorney General.
- In-House payment arrangement will suspend collection activity as long as the student continues to honor a mutually agreeable payment plan.
- The In-House payment plan is serviced through Educational Computer Systems, Inc. (ECSI). ECSI will bill and accept payments on behalf of YSU.
- YSU will not report the outstanding debt to the major credit bureaus as long as the student continues to honor a mutually agreeable payment plan.
- Three consecutively missed payments will result in the account being turned over to the Ohio Attorney General
