Hi Pam, at Wentworth, we do place holds on student's accounts if they owe a
balance for the current term and Wentworth is getting ready for the Open
Registration period (students can register without paying). W

We also "cancel" or "deregister" students who do not pay by the due date,
yet we use the term "due date" loosely. In other words, we work the
accounts and accept payment for about two weeks after the due date, during
that period we send a reminder notice to those who did not pay imploring
them to do so in the next 10 days or they will be deregistered and then we
keep our promise and deregister those who still owe at the end of the two
weeks. Of course there are always some exceptions, but that is what
happens to the majority of students.

Hi gang:

Gotta a couple 'simple' questions, I hope ...

Who cancels students for non-payment, how do you handle it and
when (timing) do you cancel?

If you do cancel, how many do you end up cancelling and how
many ends up being reinstated?

If you do not cancel, what are some safeguard measures that you
use to tackle those that do not pay? Do you use special wording
when they register, holding them responsible for payment? Do
they sign something?

Who 'holds' (blocks) students from registering if they have
outstanding debts?

Any info would be helpful. Thanks, Pam J
