In accordance with the financial responsibility agreement that each student is required to sign, finance charges are assessed on a monthly basis at 1.25% (15% annually) on all bursar and CornellCard accounts. In addition, accounts are imposed a collection fee once they become 90 days or more past due and are transferred to ECSI, Cornell's billing partner for inactive students with past due balances. 

In the event that ECSI deems an account uncollectible, the account may be referred to an outside collection agency, such as Conserve or General Revenue Corporation. At such time, additional collection and/or legal fees will be assessed by the collection agency. Fees may range from 25% to 45% of the total balance due. As the account holder, you are responsible for these fees.
