Round3, the same thing actually happened to me the past fall semester in my senior year of my bachelors degree. Excess refund scholarship/loan money was disbursed, and a few weeks later everyone in my program got emails that there was some class that we weren’t charged for in the amount of roughly $700. I immediately went online and paid it. Something tells me that you most likely did not make that choice. In addition - if you owed the school ~3,000 dollars for an entire semester, I expect they’ve probably e-mailed you/snail mailed you from the get-go that it had to be paid.

It isn’t the school’s responsibility to pay for your education or whatever you spent the money on, regardless of what mistake they made. In my experience, the lady I spoke to regarding the mistake was so rude, and I still never felt that I shouldn’t have to pay the money. It is a bill that YOU owe…of course you should have to pay it.
