Student financial debt procedures.

(1) The college may take the following actions for nonpayment of outstanding student debt:
(a) Place a hold, also called a negative service indicator, on a student's account if they owe a debt for housing, financial aid, tuition, or other college fees. A negative service indicator prevents enrollment for future quarters.
(b) Drop students for nonpayment of any debt at any time.
(c) Refer past due debts that exceed $100 to a collection agency. Prior to referral, students will receive notice via their Bellevue College email. The notice will include at a minimum the following information:
(i) The amount of the debt owed;
(ii) The nature of the debt;
(iii) Information on how to pay the debt;
(iv) Contact information for the finance office and/or staff member who can provide more information, and/or set up a payment plan;
(v) The deadline for payment of the debt; and
(vi) Any consequences that may result from nonpayment of the debt.
(2) Reporting requirements: The college follows the state reporting rules related to the use of negative service indicators, debt levels, and collection practices.

Debt dispute and appeal.

Students who believe that exigent circumstances exist, or an error occurred that may require reduction or removal of a debt, may submit an online appeal form, available on the enrollment services website, for review of the debt.
