Charge Inquires & Collections

Collections

Unpaid student account balances are subject to delinquent fees, academic holds, and other restrictions. Balances that remain unpaid are subject to collection action and fees. Delinquent accounts may be turned over to external contracted collection agencies of the University.

Student Financial Solutions (SFS) is responsible for managing the University’s Accounts Receivable portfolio. SFS engages in monthly billing and account monitoring to validate account balances and determine which accounts should be processed for continued collection efforts through third-party agencies.

If you have been contacted by one of the agencies referenced here regarding the balance due to UCSD please pursue resolution of your account with that agency. Additional questions can be directed to Student Financial Solutions by going to the UC San Diego Services & Support portal.

Tax Interception

Outstanding balances and unpaid fees on student or employee accounts are subject to being referred to the State of California's Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for interception of any state tax refund, lottery winnings or unclaimed property available to an individual.

To avoid interception, please pay off any outstanding charges to the appropriate department or collection agency by November 6th, 2023. If you don't know which department assessed the charge, contact Student Financial Solutions.
