Delinquent Account/Collection
Students understand that when they register for any class at Greenville University or receive any service from Greenville University, they accept full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of their registration and/or receipt of services. Students further understand and agree that their registration and acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C.523(a)(8)) in which Greenville University is providing them educational services, deferring some or all their payment obligation for those services, and they promise to pay for all assessed tuition, fees, and other associated costs by the published or assigned due date.
Students understand and agree that if they drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which they register, they will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the published tuition refund schedule at https://www.greenville.edu/files/assets/withdrawalandrefundpolicy.5.20241.pdf.
Student Accounts Hold: If a student fails to pay their student account bill or any monies due and owing Greenville University by the scheduled due date, Greenville University will place a financial hold on that student account, preventing them from registering for future classes, or receiving their diploma. Semester courses may be cancelled/dropped if students have not paid/made payment arrangements by the start date of each semester.
Former Student Account Balance: Greenville University maintains a partnership with Heartland ECSI. ECSI manages all delinquent account balances for former students. If a student leaves Greenville University with a balance due remaining on their student account, their account balance will be forwarded to ECSI for repayment.
Collection Agency Fees: If a student fails to pay their student account bill or any monies due and owing Greenville University by the scheduled due date and fails to make acceptable payment arrangements with ECSI to bring their account current, ECSI and Greenville University may refer their delinquent account to a collection agency. The student is responsible for paying the collection agency fee (which can exceed 50% of outstanding balance) of their delinquent account, together with all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, necessary for the collection of their delinquent account. A delinquent account may be reported to one or more of the national credit bureaus.
