What if I am a business and need a suspension?

We do not suspend active businesses.

Suspension length will vary based on your financial situation. We grant suspensions for a specific period, and we will work with you to determine the timeframe. When your suspension period expires, the collection process will continue unless you pay in full or set up a payment agreement.

We may:

• Contact you to discuss your current financial situation
• Require you to send us documentation detailing your:
  • Income
  • Expenses
  • Assets
• Deny your request

Note: A suspension does not prevent your state or federal tax refund from applying to your debt. If we apply a refund, we will reduce your balance.

If you are experiencing financial hardship, you may apply for deferral directly to the school. If granted, the school will recall the debt from us.
