J-650 Student Financial Obligation

Students are expected to pay all program and material fees, student fees, student loan obligations, or other financial/property obligations a Student owed to the District in full before the first scheduled day of the semester or class. In lieu of payment in full, the Student must select an approved payment plan or have accepted their Financial Aid award, which covers their full tuition and fees. Any Student who has not satisfied their financial obligations may have a hold placed on their record and may be withdrawn from all classes.

Students with a past-due balance over $200 will not be allowed to register or enroll in any other program or classes until the past-due obligation is paid unless the student meets the eligibility requirements and completes all steps required by Procedure J-650.1 – Course Registration with Past-Due Balance. In addition, the College reserves the right to withhold Student transcripts in full or in part or other student documents until the outstanding financial obligation has been paid, except when prohibited under 34 CFR 668.14(b).

After exhausting reasonable efforts to collect past due financial obligations, the District reserves the right to use a collection agency or initiate legal action against anyone with unpaid fees, except when prohibited under 34 CFR 668.14(b).

The College will establish and maintain an accounting system for identifying and tracking student financial obligations. The system shall include procedures for turning past due obligations over to a collection agency or when to initiate legal action.
