Southern Miss applies a monthly periodic rate of 1.5 percent to all unpaid balances and transactions.
The corresponding annual percentage rate is 18 percent. The late fee on a student’s
account is calculated after deducting any payments or credits from the balance billed.
The full month’s charge will be assessed the first day the payment is late.
The Director of Student Financial Services is responsible for the review of this policy every four years (or whenever circumstances require immediate review).
