Failure To Pay
Failure to Pay Policy
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to define a student’s failure to pay all fees or charges to the student’s account and outline potential consequences for such action.
Policy
By registering for ANY Surgical Technology and/or Sterile Processing course, students are agreeing to financial responsibility for their account balance, including but not limited to charges for tuition, textbooks, lab fees, and all miscellaneous charges.
Failure to comply with SVSTI's payment policies may result in further collection activity by an outside collection agency or attorney. When this action occurs, students are responsible for paying all collection expenses which may exceed 50% of the original balance owed. Although every effort is made to contact a student prior to submission to a collection agency or attorney, SVSTI reserves the right to submit a student’s account for collection at any time when the student fails to remit the payment portion of the account balance.
