Delinquent Financial Obligations / Returned Checks

Grades, transcripts, and other student records will not be released to those students who owe parking fines or library fines. Payments on library fines are collected at the Library. Payments on parking fines are collected at the Cashier’s Office.

Students with delinquent financial obligations, including loans, veteran deferments, Federal Direct Loan deferments, returned checks, and student financial aid over awards will not be allowed to register, to obtain transcripts, or other student records until all obligations have been satisfied. All costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the College in collecting the debt are the responsibility of the student.

Students who have defaulted on a Federal student loan are not eligible for further federal or state financial aid nor may their college transcripts be released until such time as the student makes documented satisfactory repayment arrangements.

It is a violation of Florida law to give a worthless check or to stop payment on a check given to satisfy a valid obligation. It is not acceptable for students to stop payment on a check in order to drop classes. Students must follow proper procedures to drop classes for a refund. Students who do not pay for checks returned as uncollectible will be administratively withdrawn from all classes; withdrawal does not relieve the student of responsibility for payment of the obligation. Students may apply for reinstatement after the obligation has been satisfied. Students who give uncollectible checks are subject to prosecution by the College to the fullest extent provided by law. All costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the College in collecting the debt are the responsibility of the student.
