Collections Policy

Delinquent accounts will be subject to an interest rate of 1% per month. This late charge will be waived for Student Loan amounts processed by the College prior to the due dates for payments.

Students are required to complete payment of their tuition and fees by the stated deadlines to maintain active enrollment status and their ability to register for courses for future semesters. Gettysburg College policy requires the withholding of all credits, educational services, issuance of transcripts and certification of academic records from any person whose financial obligations to the College (including delinquent accounts, deferred balances and liability for damage) are due and/or unpaid. If any overdue obligation is referred either to the College Collection Department or to an outside agency or attorney for collection efforts and/or legal suit, the debt shall be increased to cover all reasonable costs of collection, including collection agency and attorneys fees and court costs. By registering for any class at the College, each student accepts and agrees to be bound by the foregoing College policy as applied to any pre-existing or future obligation to the College.
