Balances after Dropping

Hello,

I am curious how other schools deal with the issue of students who drop
and owe substantial balances that are not covered by aid. We are a
small, private non-degree school that enrolls students into certificate
programs. On occasion, I have students who drop and end up owing $1000 -
$5000. We have had discussions at the school on what we can do regading
this issue since not too many of them want to pay a balance after they
drop. Do other schools forgive balances? Or send them to collections?
Any ideas, thoughts, policies, etc... would be greatly appreciated.
Also, are there any ideas out there on how to prevent this. I know
having students pay upfront is one, but usually this does not happen.

Thanks,

Julia Lowder
