Policy

Tuition and fees for all College students are due and payable prior to the beginning of each term unless other financial arrangements are in place such as financial aid, sponsorship or a payment plan set up through the College. A student’s registration shall be subject to cancellation when a prior term, past due charges have not been resolved before the current term end. Outstanding account balances will result in a student’s account being flagged which will prevent registration, obtaining official transcripts, and/or graduation diplomas.

Non-Student accounts receivable or uncollected billings that may be submitted for collection include, but are not limited to:  salary overpayments, contract work completed by the College for which the College has not received payment, fees owed to the College, deposited checks returned unpaid for insufficient funds, and nonpayment for goods or services purchased from the College.

Any outstanding balance is subject to the College’s collection process.

Should final efforts prove unsuccessful, approval to write off the account will be requested from Trustees. Writing off the account balance does not relieve the student’s legal obligation to pay the debt.  When requesting write-off approval, the history of the collection attempts will be included. Documentation will be held on file for a period of three years from the point of write off. If the write-off debt is later collected, then the resulting funds will be recognized as a recovery of the write-off.
