Financial Liability

Students become liable for all charges of tuition and fees upon registration. Completion of the Trocaire Financial Liability Agreement is required at that time to affirm understating of financial obligation to pay all tuition and fees associated with registration.

Financial Liability Agreement

I understand that upon registration for any class or service at Trocaire College, I am responsible for payment of all tuition, fees, and other associated costs assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services. In addition, I authorize Trocaire College and its agents and contractors to contact me at my current and any future cellular phone number(s), email address(es), or wireless device(s) regarding my delinquent student account(s)/loan(s), any other debt I owe to Trocaire College, or to receive general information from Trocaire College. I authorize Trocaire College and its agents and contractors to use automated telephone dialing equipment, artificial or prerecorded voice or text messages, and personal calls and emails, in their efforts to contact me. Furthermore, I understand that I may withdraw my consent to call my cellular telephone by submitting my request in writing to the applicable contractor or agent contacting me on behalf of Trocaire College.

I further understand and agree that my registration and acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in which Trocaire College is providing me educational services).

I understand and agree that if for any reason I drop/withdraw, or I am dropped/withdrawn by administrative college personnel, from any or all of the classes for which I registered, I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the Trocaire College refund schedule. I understand that my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of financial responsibility as described above.

I understand that my financial aid is contingent upon continued enrollment in and attendance of all classes upon which my financial aid eligibility was originally calculated. I must also meet and maintain all SAP, Satisfactory Academic Progress, standards.  I acknowledge that based on federal regulations, some or all aid may be removed as a result of my withdrawal.  I agree to pay any and all remaining charges associated with mandatory return of aid.

Financial Hold

I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due to Trocaire College by the scheduled due date, a balance hold will be placed my student account.  The hold will prevent future class registration and the release of a diploma until the balance has been paid in full.

*Late Payment Charge

I further understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due to Trocaire College by the scheduled due date and my account is not enrolled in a payment plan, I will be charged a late charge of 5% of the total balance due.

Business Office Holds

Student account balances must be paid-in- full, or accounts must be enrolled in a payment plan by the first day of classes each semester. Holds will be placed on all accounts that are not in compliance immediately following the add/drop period of the semester. Holds will prevent registration for future semesters until the outstanding account balance has been resolved.

Collection Agency Fees

I understand and accept that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due to Trocaire College by the scheduled due date, and fail to make acceptable payment arrangements to bring my account current, Trocaire College may refer my delinquent account to a collection agency. I further understand that if Trocaire College refers my student account balance to a third party for collection, a collection fee of up to 30% of my overall balance may be assessed and will be due in full at the time of the referral to the third party. For purposes of this provision, the third party may be a debt collection company or an attorney. If a lawsuit is filed to recover an outstanding balance, I shall also be responsible for any costs associated with the lawsuit such as court costs or other applicable costs. Finally, I understand that my delinquent account may be reported to one or more of the national credit bureaus. In addition, I agree to the terms of the Financial Liability Agreement located in the Student Accounts section of the catalog.
