In 2010 Summer session. I authorized in a timely manner for the federal government to pay my summer session but not to pay for the following semester. These were option given to me at the federal website. I declined the funds for the following semester because of a divorce that I was going through. WELL!! Regis University un-known to me declined those funds saying I was not allowed to except partial loans. They declined what I authorized the federal government to pay and left me with a 4000 dollar liability between me and the 3 classes I needed to graduate.
Can an institution of higher learning decline a proper student loan and then hold the student responsible for the very monies they declined?
In short, no.
