1. All financial obligations and accounts owing to St. Petersburg College are to be paid when due. Financial obligations include not only amounts due directly to the College, but also loans made or guaranteed by the State of Florida or the federal government and administered by the College. Delinquent student accounts are sufficient cause for cancellation, prevention of registration or withdrawal from classes. Registration, graduation, granting of credit or release of credit or release of transcripts may be withheld on any student who has an outstanding financial obligation to the College.




2. When a financial obligation is not paid when due or when a check or draft received by the College in payment of a financial obligation, or a check cashed by an employee, is returned by the financial institution on which it was drawn, the President shall attempt collection with due diligence. The President shall establish procedures to carry out such collection. Student will be assessed a collection amount equal to that which is payable to the collection agency if said account is turned over to the collection agency.




3. The president is authorized to assess a $25 dishonored check charge when appropriate.




4. Students with an outstanding financial obligation to the College's contracted bookstore will not be permitted to register for classes.




5. When the College offers courses at other colleges or schools and makes arrangements for students to use the library facilities at those institutions at no additional charge to the students, the College may withhold registration, graduation, granting of credit, or release of transcripts for any student who has an outstanding financial obligation to the cooperating institution because of overdue, lost or damaged books, periodicals or other library materials.




6. If the student has been withdrawn from classes, subsequently satisfies all financial obligations to the College and desires to be reinstated, the student must obtain the authorization of the instructor for each course involved, re-register and pay the late registration/reinstatement charge.

The payment of fees is subject to a "due date." When a student's registration has been completed, the student is given a date by which to pay fees. Failure to do so results in cancellation of the student's schedule. Although the student is free to re-register, the student may not automatically re-instate the canceled schedule.
