- I will receive tuition and costs statements electronically, and I am responsible for viewing and paying my student account e-bill by the scheduled due date.
- Failure to receive my e-bill does not constitute a valid reason for not paying my bill on time.
- My failure to attend class does not absolve me of the financial responsibility associated with my pursuit of an educational program at Techni-Pro Institute.

- After the 75% tuition payment, the remaining 25% of my tuition will be enrolled into TFC (Tuition financing Company) with a minimum of 2% Interest.
- My acceptance of the terms in my SFRA constitutes a promissory agreement in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11USC, Section 523(a) ((8).
- Section 523(a)(8) contains a presumption qualified student loans will not be discharged, and although the presumption can be overcome by a debtor who shows “undue hardship,” bankruptcy courts often seek to have debtors take advantage of federal programs to delay payment, rather than grant a discharge. However, when a debtor is disabled, and there does not appear to be recovered within a reasonable period, courts have favored discharge.
