Late payments and when Citations Become Past Due

If payment of your citation has not been received in the cashier's Office or Parking Office by 4:30 pm on the 28th day after the ticket was issued, the original fine amount will increase to a maximum of $25 and a $5 administration fee will be added. This escalated charge will then transfer to your account in MyCWU.

The collection of the fine is also handled by Student Financial Services and, if not paid in a timely manner, could be sent to a collection agency.
