I was enrolled in a graduate program at a public university in Texas last Fall. I paid for my tuition in cash and took out a subsidized and unsubsidized loan to cover living expenses. I dropped one of my classes and failed the other two. The university claims they tried to contact me regarding my enrollment situation (whether or not I actually performed poorly or if I just stopped attending classes), but I never received any correspondence. When I went online to download my 1098-t, I noticed I had a past due balance to the university. Upon talking to financial aid and the bursars office, they informed me that they were required to send the funds back to the loan company because failed. It was past the deadline to submit any documentation that I actually attended classes. What are the ramifications if I do not pay back the university? I do not intend to ever go back to school there. Do I have any recourse regarding the attendance issue? I've never heard of this before.


Key is STATE school. Tax offset, admin wage garnishment You say you do not intend to go back to school there. If you plan on attending another school, you may have issues. You are required to list ALL schools you attended plus this will show up on your financial aid transcript.

Dropping the course probably dropped down aid and then not attending the classes on the others is a big no no. So get it paid and resolved.
