• you will not be able to register for classes

• your account may go to an outside collections agency

• you will be responsible for additional collection fees and interest which may be assessed and will be due in full at the time of the referral to the third party. The collection fee will be calculated at the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, but not to exceed 33 1/3% of the amount outstanding. If a lawsuit is filed to recover an outstanding balance, the debtor shall also be responsible for any costs associated with the lawsuit such as court costs or other applicable costs
