Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice. I’m currently an adjunct student—not here in the States, but over in Canada—attending a public university. I’ve decided to pull the plug on my studies after passing a few exams.
So far, I’ve paid off about 70% of the total $850 tuition. There’s just one installment left, which isn't strictly tied to a specific date, though they usually split it into two payments per semester.
If I head down to the registrar's office to officially withdraw, would they demand that I settle the remaining balance immediately, or charge me some sort of hefty withdrawal fee?
My contract technically lists me as a state-funded student because I originally enrolled as a full-time student and then submitted a request to switch to adjunct status, though I didn't sign any extra paperwork for the change. This leads me to a slightly gray area: if I were to play it a bit sneaky, grab my official documents temporarily, and then just never come back, would they actually have any legal ground to come after me? I know I’d still technically be enrolled on their books, but my main goal is to get my papers in hand without any messy legal fallout later.
I could always try to claim the documents aren't valid, but honestly, I just want to know if they can legally pursue me for the money. From a logical standpoint, I don't see how they could justify it; since I’m paying my own way rather than relying on government grants or state funding, it doesn't seem right for them to demand the full amount, especially since I haven't even sat for the second semester's exams, which I've already partially funded.
