I am wondering if a late tutition payment is something that will show up on my credit report and effect my credit score? This is a payment directly to the school and not a loan payment to a student loan servicer.
I'm currently on a co-op and only registered for 3 internship credits for the semester. The employer I am working for was supposed to have sent the school a list of interns and then they would pay for the internship credits. Somewhere along the line, something got stuck and all the charges that were supposed to have been due on the 29th of January are still posted as unpaid and late. I'm currently trying to resolve this, but should I be worried about it showing up on a credit report? Late charges aren't applied until the middle of March, but that probably doesn't make a difference.

Nah, much like a parking ticket unless it goes out to collection it's a non-issue. That would be pretty extreme for any school: typically from my own experience they'd simply revoke your class registration
