Financial Obligation to the College
Failure to meet financial obligations to the College may result in the student’s automatic withdrawal with no credit for the semester. Additionally, such a student may be denied enrollment in subsequent semesters. The College will withhold copies of educational records of students who have outstanding debts to the institution. After the college has attempted to collect a debt from a student, the debt owed to the college will be sent to a collection agency to collect the debt on behalf of the College. The student will be responsible for any reasonable collection fees, up to 33.333 percent of the delinquent amount. This collection attempt will include, but is not limited to, collection attempts made by phone calls, mailed notifications, placement with credit bureaus and, up to and including, placement with local magistrate court.
The College also makes attempts to collect financial obligations owed to the College prior to the start of classes for each semester so that the student will not lose course enrollment due to non-payment. The College accomplishes this by using a third-party messaging system that enables the College to contact many students at once. This is a complimentary service to the student as a reminder only, and it is the responsibility of the student to ensure all fees and tuition are paid in full prior to attending class on the first day of each semester.
