Agreement To Pay Tuition And Fee Charges

In consideration of Longwood University allowing me to register for courses, thus incurring costs to the University, I promise to pay Longwood University tuition and fees assessed for my registered courses by the published payment due date for each semester. Also, I agree to pay for any additional fees and interest charges assessed to my account each semester. Any account not satisfied by the final payment due date will be referred to an attorney or a collection agency, and collection fees of up to 32% of the outstanding balance will be added. Any account not satisfied by the final payment due date may be reported to the credit bureaus, and may be listed with the Virginia Department of Taxation through the Debt Set-off Program. Listing with the Virginia Department of Taxation may result in the seizure of funds from a tax refund, any refund from another state agency, and/or a lottery claim.

I understand the principal amount is calculated based on my registration each semester. All outstanding tuition account balances are considered qualified educational loans under I.R.C. 221 and are extended with the express understanding that future repayment shall be made to the university. I further understand that my acceptance of these terms represents my acknowledgment and acceptance of my tuition and fee account balances qualifying as a qualified education loan under I.R.C. 221, and as such, its exemption from discharge under the federal bankruptcy code, 11 U.S.C. 523(a) (8).

I understand, agree and authorize Longwood University to use my social security number for internal and external credit reporting and collection purposes for all charges incurred for the duration of my enrollment with Longwood University.

I expressly consent to you, your affiliates, agents, and service providers may contact me using written, electronic, or verbal means as the law allows. This consent includes, but is not limited to, contact by manual calling methods, prerecorded or artificial voice messages, text messages, emails and/or automated telephone dialing systems. I also expressly consent to you, your affiliates, agents, and service providers contacting me by telephone at any telephone number associated with my account, currently or in the future, including wireless telephone numbers, regardless of whether I incur charges as a result. I agree that you, your affiliates, agents, and service providers may record telephone calls regarding my account in the assurance of quality and/or other reasons.

This agreement is subject to the laws of the State of Virginia, without regard to its conflict or choice of law provisions. I irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Prince Edward County, Virginia, in any lawsuit arising out of or concerning this agreement, or the enforcement of any obligations under this agreement, including any lawsuit to collect amounts that I may owe as a result of this agreement.
