In those cases where a student does not meet their financial obligation, the College employs the service of collection agencies. If an account is sent to collections, the student is responsible for all associated costs including interest, contingency fees, legal fees, and administrative fees if the account is returned uncollected. Fees associated with collection of a delinquent account can be as much as one-third of the balance in default at the time of collection. Students with accounts in collection will not be able to register for a future semester until their account is paid in full.
