4.6 Student Obligations
General Information
Accounts owed to the University must be cleared before the student will be allowed to preregister for subsequent terms. The University reserves the right to refuse diplomas, degree verifications, and letters of good standing to students whose financial obligations have not been satisfied. Students who withdraw from the University are responsible for any balance remaining on their account.
Any student account that remains unpaid at the end of the term and is not paid within thirty days may be turned over to an outside collection agency. To cover the collection agency costs, a fee will be added to the amount owed by the student.
Identification Cards
All enrolled students are issued a student identification card. The identification card will provide admittance to campus and into campus buildings. The identification card may be used for attaching monies for use at dining services on campus. The identification card may be used to verify identification for check distribution, admission to University events, and/or purchase of University event tickets. Students should keep identification cards with them at all times. Use of another person’s I.D. card constitutes fraud and will result in disciplinary action.
Residential students are issued identification cards to use for obtaining their meals in the Dining Center and for access to the residence halls. Residential students must have their identification card to dine in the Dining Hall, or must pay for their meal.
Lost or stolen identification cards must be reported to the MUW Police Department. A replacement fee will be directly applied to an individual’s banner account. In order to receive a replacement identification card, a picture governmental identification card must be presented to the MUW Police Department.
Parking Decal
Any individual who regularly operates or parks a motor vehicle or motorcycle on the campus and streets of Mississippi University for Women must register the vehicle and display the appropriate decal on or before the first day of classes or within twenty-four hours (excluding weekends and holidays) after it is first brought on the university campus or streets. A fee of $25.00 is charged for a parking decal.
