deduct the award from their amount due. All charges not covered by deferments must be paid by the due date. Continuing students who do not pre-register and therefore do not receive the first bill of any semester will be charged a late fee. This fee is nonnegotiable and must be paid. A late processing fee will be charged to any student attempting to register for the first time on or after the FIRST DAY OF CLASS. This fee will apply to all students including those who receive late admission to the University. Failure to pay the amount due by the penalty date will result in the automatic assessment of a late- payment fee of $40 per billing. This fee is nonnegotiable and must be paid. Students should apply early for any financial aid that they expect to use to pay their University bills. Students who submit completed applications for student loans by the deadline date will not be subject to the late fees if the loan amount meets or exceeds the current balance due. University bills are sent to the permanent address that is on file with the Records and Registration Office. It is the student's responsibility to keep the address correct. FAILURE TO RECEIVE A BILL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AS A REASON TO WAIVE THE LATE PAYMENT FEE. Students who pay their bill in full (resulting in a zero balance) will not receive any further communication from the Office of Student Accounts in the next billing pass. See: http://studentaccounts.buffalo.edu/ Holds Administrative areas of the university, including bursar, parking, International Student and Scholar Services, etc. may place "holds" on student accounts that prevent any account activity until the student addresses the issue involved. It is critical that students clear these issues a quickly as possible as the account is locked to all parties for registration, forced registration or other activities that may be time sensitive. Withdrawal from Program Students who wish to withdraw should send a letter indicating this intention to the Graduate Programs Office, 203 Alfiero Center, for FT MBA and MS Programs or Jacobs 108 for PMBA and EMBA programs. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw from any classes for which he or she may have registered for subsequent semesters. If a student withdraws from a master's program and wishes to complete the curriculum requirements at a later date, he or she must petition the Admissions Committee for re-entry.
