New Beginnings Program

As encouragement from the College for students who have withdrawn from the College to re-enroll, to attend classes, and to complete a program, as well as to remove a financial impediment to re-enrolling in a program, the College agrees to forego collection efforts on, to set aside, and to forgive the outstanding balance remaining on a student account as a result of a prior enrollment at the College, provided the student successfully completes their current program.

• The student must meet all re-entry requirements of the College as determined by the Director of Admissions, Director of Education, Accounts Receivable and the Director of Financial Services.
• The student must have previously withdrawn from the College with an outstanding balance.
• The student’s participation must be approved by the Campus Director.
• The student must be enrolled in any approved program.
• The student may use this program only one time.
• The student must voluntarily complete an Allocation of Title IV Credit Balance Form and select Option1.
