What happens to my student account if I owe outstanding debt to the College?

  • When a student has an outstanding, delinquent balance at the College, and consequently, owes outstanding debt to the College, a “BO” hold is placed on the student’s account. The outstanding balance can result from unpaid charges for tuition, residence halls, damage, library fines, etc.  When a student’s account is placed on hold, the student is not permitted to register for or attend future courses, to revise class schedules, or to receive official documents, such as grades, transcripts*, and/or diplomas. *Transcripts maybe redacted and released based on federal regulations. Students with outstanding balances are encouraged to contact the Business Office to set up individualized payment arrangements. Student referral to collection agencies and credit bureaus is at the discretion of the College. Collection costs and/or legal fees, up to and including 50% of the delinquent balance, may be charged to the student’s account by Goldey-Beacom College in the collection of a delinquent balance. Once the outstanding debt is cleared, the student’s account is taken off hold allowing the student to receive official documentation from the College.

 

  • Students are eligible for payment plans if no outstanding debt is owed to the College and previous payments were made according to the established payment agreement.  When a student utilizes a payment plan to assist in making payment to the College, a “soft” hold is placed on the student’s account.  A soft hold allows the student to register for future courses and to revise class schedules, but prevents the student who are not up-to-date on payments from receiving official documents, such as transcripts, or diplomas.  The College utilizes various types of student account holds to clarify the student’s status.  A student’s hold status can be viewed on Campus Web.

 

  • The College will not impose any penalty on any covered individual because of that individual’s inability to meet their financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from US Department of Veterans Administration under Chapters 31 or 33.  Those penalties include assessing late fees; preventing the enrollment in a subsequent or current academic term; denying access to academic resources (i.e. library, Wi-Fi) or other institutional academic facilities; or requiring that a covered individual must secure alternative or additional funding. To avoid any such penalties, a new student must provide the VA’s Certificate of Eligibility to an Advisor prior to the start of the academic term with a written request to be certified for Veterans Benefits. Every semester, prior to the first payment due date, all students with an outstanding balance must complete and submit the GBC Academic Term Payment Plan to secure their course schedule and avoid Business Office holds.

 

What is the SAM License & Certification Program?

  • Goldey-Beacom College provides the SAM License and Certification Program*.  SAM is an interactive online learning environment that helps students master Microsoft Office software concepts essential to academic and career success.  This Program provides students with access to SAM and one Microsoft Office certification exam voucher. This Program is also financially beneficial to students because it enables them to utilize SAM at a reduced rate.

 

  • This Program provides an effective learning experience for students as it eliminates the need for them to purchase SAM access at a higher cost and prevents them from purchasing incorrect versions or expired licenses.  It ensures that students have the required access they need beginning with the first day of class.  Learn more about SAM by contacting the instructor of the course which uses SAM (ITG 148, ITG 149, ITG 325, IT 253 and IT 349).

*Notes

  • Participation in the SAM program is mandatory for students enrolled in any of the following courses: ITG 148, ITG 149, ITG 325, IT 253, and IT 349.
  • Each course requires a SAM license and therefore will be billed per course.
  • Each enrolled student will be provided one voucher to take the Microsoft certification test for the course at no charge.  Should the student need to retake the test, a charge of $45 may apply.
  • Once a student activates the SAM license, the activation cannot be reversed and the charge of $90 will apply.
  • The SAM license is not transferable and may not be sold/resold to other students.

If I have a credit on my student account, to whom will the refund be made payable?

  • All refunds will be made payable to the student, with the following exceptions:
    Refunds resulting from outside scholarships

    •     Refunds resulting from payments made by an employer or third party organization
    •     Refunds resulting from payments for unearned Chapter 33 tuition assistance will be made payable to the Veterans  Administration.
    •     Refunds resulting from payments for unearned Department of Defense (DOD) tuition assistance will be made payable to the DOD.
    •     Refunds resulting from PLUS loans
    •     Upon written request by the student, refunds will be made payable to another party
    •     All credit card payments will be refunded to the card used to make the payment/purchase

My account has been sent to a collection agency, what now?

Student accounts are placed with a collection agency after all in house collection efforts have been exhausted. The College partners with two collection agencies; Conserve and Reliant.  While at a collection agency student may experience collection fees added to their account balance as well as credit reporting for their outstanding balance.

If your account has been placed with Conserve, please use the contact information is below:
