Reference:  Section 8710.1, State Administrative Manual; Section 42008, 
Article 5, Subchapter 4, Chapter 5, Title 5, California Code of Regulations.

Although the California Code of Regulations provides that "all [student 
housing] fees are due and payable in advance", situations may arise that delay 
payments to the housing program.  The following guidelines are provided to 
assist in developing procedures on campus to insure that outstanding 
accounts receivables are collected in a timely fashion:

1.	Notices of account past due should be issued no later than three days 
	after the payment deadline.

2.	If the student does not respond to the past due notice within five days, 
	a notice of eviction should be issued and the student should be placed 
	on Business Obligation System hold.

3.	If the student fails to respond to the notice of eviction within three 
	days, formal eviction proceedings should be initiated.

4.	Further collection efforts should be conducted in accordance with 
	Section 8710.1 of the State Administrative Manual.
