Former Student Past Due Accounts

Former Student Past Due Accounts

All charges are payable by the due date shown on the billing statement. A student’s account is considered past due if there is any unpaid balance as of the last day of classes or if the student is no longer enrolled at the University and has unpaid charges that have remained outstanding for 30 days or more following the last day of the term or their last day of attendance.

Accessing your Student Account as a Non Enrolled Student

Once a student has separated from the university there are two ways to access the account. 

  • Students separating from the university within the first  6 months are eligible to log into your unca.edu/oneport account. 
  • Students separating from the university over 6 months please email studentaccounts@unca.edu for assistance with accessing your account. 

Failure to receive a bill or notice does not exempt a student from the responsibility of paying their account. 

Calculation of Penalty and Interest

In accordance with the requirements of General Statute 147-86.23, interest will be assessed on any unpaid balance. 

Interest is assessed on the unpaid balance when a charge becomes past due and is calculated at the annual interest rate established by the State of North Carolina per year until paid. A one-time 10 percent penalty will also be charged. Late-payment penalty and interest charges are considered payable when charged.

Debt Collection

Unresolved past due balances may result in collection actions being initiated.

The University is required to comply with the State of North Carolina Office of the State Controller Policy 200.04 – Statewide Accounting Policy – Accounts Receivable Collection
