Student Obligation

Students are responsible for the semester tuition charges/distance fees once they enroll in a course. Students who do not pay fees by the end of the term may be turned over to an outside collection agency for assistance in collecting. The prevailing collection cost rate will be added to the amount owed by the student to cover the collection agency cost. If an attorney's services are needed to collect an unpaid balance, the student shall be responsible for payment of the attorney's fees, plus all court and other collection costs incurred.
