She knew she owed that money.
Come of folks, stop giving Allen a free pass. It is their job to manage these things.
So what should they have done? Run around and beg her to pay her bill? Jokers know how to work the emotions of folks in the Business Office...crying...all the sad stories...the come up. So blame the school for giving you the opportunity to be in school knowing you have a bill?
If anything Mc_____ came in there and said this has got to stop and put that hammer down. LOL
If your money aignt right....go to a cheaper school...or take out more loans...get a part time gig....do something. Don't wait until it's all due NOW it's an issue and say the school didn't do something to fix it.
I like Allen...I have family who went there. but she shouldnt have been able to enroll with a balance. and I know that enrollment would drop. but people gotta pay. and I dont think she should be able to graduate with teh debt. now allen should have let her know she had the debt sooner, but I do agree that she knew she wasnt paying the full amount so she owed something. there is fault on both sides....but she shouldhave to pay before she graduates....
this is the same issue SCSU had. students carry balances...some drop out and never pay them. the school pays for teachers, services, food etc, for students, some of which who have not paid. so teh school absorbs that debt......now that sacs can puniosh you for carrying to much debt, schools are less likely to let a student carry a debt......
