Financial Obligation Agreement

Each semester that a NDSU student registers for classes they are required to electronically sign and agree to the terms of the North Dakota University System Financial Obligation Agreement (FOA). 通过这样做, you acknowledge that you 理解 that NDSU is advancing value to you in the form of educational services; that your right to attend classes is expressly conditioned upon your agreement to pay the University pursuant to the Agreement; and that you have read, 理解, and agree to pay the University pursuant to the Agreement.

When you register for classes, spaces in classes are reserved for you. Decisions about how many class sections to offer and other commitments of instructional resources are made based on the enrollment data provided after the registration process is complete. Other students may be closed out of a preferred section if the last available space is reserved for you. In exchange for the University's commitment of resources on your behalf, you assume a responsibility to:

  • Pay the fees assessed for those classes, and
  • Follow proper procedure to notify the University by the published 最后期限 if you are unable to attend so that the class spaces may be released and made available to other students.

Before registration begins for an upcoming semester, an FOA hold will be placed on each student's account, 这会阻止注册. After the FOA has been read and electronically signed, the registration hold will be automatically removed.

As a student, you will pay all tuition, fees, fines, and other costs imposed by the University. If any of those charges remain unpaid, you may be charged the University's cost of collection, 包括, 但不限于, 合理的律师费, 收集费用, 以及诉讼费.

The University will not automatically cancel your registration for non-payment or non-attendance. Therefore, if you decide not to attend NDSU, it is imperative that you follow the proper 退出程序. If you do not properly request that your registration be canceled, your name will appear on the class rosters, and you will remain responsible for full fees until such time as you complete a total 撤军 through the Office of 注册及记录 and will be subject to the NDSU 撤军时间表. If you are still on the final rosters for the term, you may receive grades of "F" for the courses in which you were registered.
