Beware of Tuition Payment Scams

Scammers may approach you with offers to pay your tuition, usually in exchange for personal information or a "small fee." These offers are fraudulent and can lead to financial loss or identity theft.

Verify Unsolicited Offers: Any offer to pay your tuition should be approached with caution. Verify the legitimacy of such offers through official university channels before proceeding.

Official Payment Channels: Always use the university’s official payment system for your tuition fees. Be wary of requests to use alternative payment methods like wire transfers, gift cards, stolen credit cards or cryptocurrency.

Protect your username/Password: Do not share your username and password with anyone.

General Tips to Avoid Scams

What are "Holds"?

Holds are placed on student accounts when students have not completed paperwork required by the university or have not paid a bill. You can check to see if you have a hold on your account through your Highlander account.

What do I do if I have a "Hold"?

Make sure you take the action required to remove the hold before you are scheduled to register for classes.

Can I register before I take the required action to remove the hold?

No. Many students are unable to register during pre-registration because they are blocked by holds. You will not be able to register for classes until the hold is removed. That is why it’s important for you to take action immediately.
