Financial Responsibility Agreement

Prior to registering for the first time each semester, Temple students are required to review and accept Temple University’s Financial Responsibility Agreement, which outlines the financial terms and conditions associated with course registration. 

Students will also receive an e-mail reminder of the Financial Responsibility Agreement whenever a registration transaction is processed by you or an academic advisor on your behalf.

Your registration will not automatically be cancelled for non-payment of tuition and fees.  If you do not plan to attend the semester, you must drop your registration by the end of the drop-add period as shown on the academic calendar.  You will remain financially responsible for your tuition and fee charges if your registration is not dropped.

Student Financial Responsibility Agreement

I acknowledge that by registering for classes at Temple University, I agree to pay all assessed tuition and fees that result from my initial registration and/or future drop/add activity.  I understand that I am responsible to pay for all classes in which I am registered after the final day of the term’s drop/add period, which is published on the University’s Academic Calendar.

I understand that if I am not planning to attend, it is my responsibility to drop my classes as the University will not automatically cancel my registration.

I understand that Temple University will notify me about my outstanding charges and debt via my Temple.edu e-mail account or through TUportal.  I further acknowledge that payments must be received on or before the due dates listed on my e-bills and that I may be charged late payment fees for delinquent payments. 

I agree that Temple University may restrict my right to register or receive other University services in accordance with University policies until I pay all past due balances.  I understand that any delinquent debts may/will be reported to a credit bureau and referred to an outside collection agency and that I am responsible for all additional costs for collecting my unpaid balance.  I also understand that the University reserves the right to cancel any registration because of a delinquent unpaid debt.

In addition, I agree to allow Temple University and its agents to contact me at any cell phone number that I provide now or use in the future, using automated telephone dialing systems, artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messages, or personal calls regarding my obligation to repay my debts to Temple University.  I also authorize Temple University or its agents to contact me via my temple.edu address or an email address that I provide to the University.  I understand that others may be able to access my messages and/or emails and their contents, which may include information about my debt and its status.
