Freshman without Money

If your balance for fall remains unpaid, you might accrue late fees and will be unable to register for classes next semester.

Your transcript will be held until you pay what you owe.

If you just quit during the semester, you will mess up your GPA, future financial aid, and the school might have to return loan money and Pell Grant to the Dept of Education and you will owe the school that money as well.

The best chance is to go see the registrar, bursar and housing office on Tuesday and see if you can still get a full refund for tuition and fees and possibly a pro-rated refund for housing/meals, if you withdraw now.

If it’s still within the add/drop deadline, that would give you a fresh start. It is better to attend a more affordable college next year, than to stay at a school you can’t afford to stay at, and be forced to drop out and owe money.
