Account Balance and Collection for Non-Payment

Students must pay in full or make payment arrangements with the Business Office before they can complete registration and officially enroll in classes. Any student who has not satisfied their financial obligation either by payment in full or satisfactory payment arrangement prior to the beginning of the term may have their registration voided. Students with past due account balances cannot attend class or live in residence halls. Outstanding account balances will also prohibit future course registrations, transcript processing and release of diplomas. Students whose accounts remain unpaid may be sent to a third party for collection. Upon registration, students agree to reimburse Piedmont College the fees assessed by any agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 33.3% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in such collection efforts. More information can be found on the Student Financial Agreement, which is displayed during online registration and additionally can be provided by the Business Office as a hard copy upon request.
