Student Account Statements
Account information is available on WebAdvisor under Financial Profile.
Past Due Account
Business Office holds are placed on student accounts with past due balances. Students are not allowed to register if they owe money to the college. GTCC can withhold transcripts, degrees, diplomas, and certificates until students have paid their college bills.
Collections
Delinquent accounts 90 days past due may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection of the debt. The consequences for a student’s account being turned over to collections are as follows:
- Student will be responsible for repayment of the outstanding debt plus collection costs, court costs, and attorney’s fees related to the collection of all delinquent debts owed to the College.
- The North Carolina Department of Revenue may withhold the student’s tax refund and remit it to the College as payment toward their outstanding debt.
- The student’s account may be reported to one or more nationally-recognized credit-reporting bureaus.
- Arrangements for repayment must be made with the outside collection agency, not the College.
