<p>Hello guys. I just received a letter from my previous school saying that I owe them money in 2 years ago.
I didn't know until I got this letter. I registered for the classes but I attended the other school cuz I have already transfer out. I was told that the classes would be dropped if there they don't receive the money. Now I looked back the transcript, they assigned WN, and I got no credits for the classes too. Does anyone have similar experience can share their experience? I know I was careless! But I didn't attend any class at all. They mailed me a letter after two years. The guy in the register office said the classes would be dropped if I didn't pay. I don't know what to do now. Anyone can help, please?</p>
<p>The schools I have experience with, you have to actually drop the class by the drop date to avoid having to pay for the class. At my daughter’s school you had a week to drop with 100% fee cancellation and an additional few days for 50%. If you don’t drop the class by those dates, you have to pay in full. If you never show up for class they will eventually drop you from it, but you would still have to pay as you were still enrolled and taking up a spot in the class that another student might have signed up for. You need to talk to the school and see if there is anything they will do. If not then you owe the money and need to pay it.</p>
<p>Agree with Swimcatsmom. Talk to the school about the money owed. It sounds like you didn’t drop the classes in time to not be charged. If that is the case, you owe the money.</p>
<p>Is this a very large amount, or something that can be paid. Is it federally funded money of any kind?</p>
<p>Examine the written drop policy of the school. What swimcatsmom said is the usual procedure. You likely didn’t pay enough attention to the details involved at the time. This info should be in the student handbook and online.</p>
<p>Yea…I know I made this mistake. 
I was too careless. It’s a couple thousand dollars.
Even though the guy in the register office told me that my classes would be dropped,
most people must say it is the student’s responsibility …<br>
I rely on financial aid (state and FAFSA) to pay for the tuition.
For that semester that they said I owe them money, I had used the financial aid on the other school.
I feel like there is nothing I can do now…I deeply regret now…
Actually, they are both public schools (CUNY). I transferred from Queens College to Baruch College
I even tried to find if there is anything on CUNY website about issue like this, but I’m not sure…I think the first thing is to contact Queens College first, but
I have emailed Queens College and I called them also, no one in Queens College replies me. :[ </p>
<p>You need to talk to the school and explain, that you went to a whole other school. When you register, you have to drop the course by a certain time, or you are charged. You won’t find exceptions because they don’t want to make any. If you were in dire medical or other straits,that may be a reason, but just not bother because you thought the classes would be dropped is not. But try to get an appt, show you went to a whole other school and see if anything can be worked out. You may find your aid cut off as well if this isn’t addressed. Do not just leave it. </p>
<p>Every college has a calendar listed on their website including the last days that you can drop/add courses with out penalty and the art day to drop to get a partial tuition refund.</p>
<p>You can not simply tell someone that you are dropping classes and walk away. As the student, you are responsible for filling out paperwork, taking it to the registrar and signing that paperwork to have your courses drop. Some schools may even ask for a signature from your advisor. If you just told someone and walked away and you did not file any paperwork, you unofficially withdrew from classes (due to non attendance). You still owe the $$</p>

<p>It is your fault that you did not follow the process and you will still owe the money. baruch may end up dropping your courses due to an outstanding balance. You need to check with them so that you are not unofficially withdrawn from those classes leaving you to owe more $$.</p>
<p>If you are receiving financial aid, this may count toward you financial aid limits. You need to also find out how your unofficial withdrawal from Queens will affect you satisfactory academic progress at Baruch (they will eventually get the QC transcript) to see all of the unofficial withdrawals (NC = F)</p>
<p>Write a letter asking to late drop the classes with financial consideration. Find out to whom to send the letter. Include copy of transcript from other college to prove you attended another school. Do not ignore your situation. I would guess all schools have an official process for dealing with students who did what you did. The schools are also having to follow Federal guidelines on this, so you might be out of luck…but, maybe not. </p>
<p>WN = Assigned to students who never attended and did not officially withdraw from a course</p>

<p>Dyiu, this OP had these issues in a previous term at another college. It’s too late to ask to withdraw without financial consideration. She stopped attending classes without properly withdrawing.</p>
<p>To the OP, you need to contact the first college and arrange a payment plan for your debt. Your second college could very well deny you further aid if your fist debt isn’t settled.</p>
