In no case will a student be permitted to register for any semester if they have unpaid charges from the prior semester. Students are not officially registered until tuition, food and housing, and all other required fees are paid in full. Grove City College reserves the right to withdraw a student from classes and dismiss them if the account balance is not paid in full by the payment deadline.
Financial Services may grant a student an extension beyond the semester payment deadline for extenuating circumstances only; however, in such cases, the student account will still be subject to late payment fees. Financial Services may waive this initial late fee for transfer students who are accepted within a three-week period prior to the first day of classes and for students who have been awarded state grants, outside scholarships, and loans for which the Office of Financial Aid has received written notification from the funding body but has not yet received the funds.
Unpaid balances are subject to monthly late payment fees of 1% of the balance due with a maximum fee of $150 and a minimum fee of $25. In no case will a student receive grades, transcripts, or diplomas during any period in which they have any unpaid student account balance. A fee of $25 will be charged to the issuer of any check returned by the payee’s bank, and a fee of $10 will be charged for returned electronic check (e-check) payments.
All outstanding debts to the College remaining unpaid after 30 days from billing may be subject to all legal collection costs, fees, and practices.
