If you have questions regarding collection holds, call Student Accounting at (818) 677-8000, option 2 or email:

I. ACCOUNTS THAT ARE 30 DAYS OVERDUE WILL HAVE A CREDIT HISTORY HOLD (FCH)

Collection e-mails will be sent to the student’s e-mail account on file and portal alerts will be posted to the student’s "myNorthridge" page. Collection letters will be sent to the student’s address in Solar.
