University of Massachusetts-Boston student account questions

What happens if I have an unpaid balance at UMass Boston?

A $70 late payment fee is assessed per school term on past-due invoices. An administrative hold is placed on your account, blocking registration, grade access, and graduation. If your balance exceeds $500 after a returned payment or payment plan default, your class schedule may be dropped. Bills unpaid 3 months after the semester end are sent to collections with a 25% collection fee. Contact the Bursar at Bursar@umb.edu or 617-287-5350, or visit the One Stop at theonestop@umb.edu or 617-287-7800.
