[Oacrao-l] Dropping students for nonpayment

[David Fulmer]

At ORU we charge a late fee for returning students who have not settled their account by the Friday after the first day of the semester. That same evening they are dropped from their classes. This is only for returning students. They can immediately go into our self-service system and re-enroll in open classes. These students along with all new students have until the end of our drop/add period to wrap up their finances and then they all get dropped.

I will be the first to wonder about the effectiveness of this, however, as faculty still allow the student to attend class even though they are not officially enrolled.

Subject: [Oacrao-l] Dropping students for nonpayment

Good afternoon, all,

(For once, I'm not emailing about the conference...but if you still need to register, here's the link!: http://www.cvent.com/d/2fqhz9/1Q ) :)

The real reason I'm emailing is to ask you this:  Do any of you drop students for nonpayment?  If so, what's your process, and has it proved to be beneficial to drop them rather than charge late fee(s)?

UCO dropped students for nonpayment years and years ago, but it was stopped as we had tons of frustrated students stand in line waiting to get re-enrolled for courses and ended up having an awkward schedule and/or not enough open classes to consider attending that term.  From what I heard, it didn't seem to make a positive financial impact for the campus either-mostly just frustrated students & staff.

Thank you for any feedback you can provide!
