    Default Can a College That You Never Attended Charge You Tuition

    If a student enrolls in college using an online application, and is admitted, but then decides that it is too expensive to attend, can the college bill the student for the tuition for the full semester? The student never set foot on campus.

    Default Re: Can a College That You Never Attended Charge You Tuition

    Once you contract with a college to become a student, you are bound to the contract. Colleges typically offer refunds based upon the date of formal withdrawal, with the amount of the refund being reduced as the semester progresses, then eliminated after the drop period ends. If you enroll but fail to withdraw, you agree to pay the tuition -- and that is reasonable, as the school held a spot open for you in each of your classes, even if you didn't use it.
