If an account is not paid by the established due date for any given semester, the college will place the account with a licensed collection agency and/or with the Revenue Division of the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, under authorization of Act 372 of 1983 and Act 987 of 1985, for application of any future income tax refunds.
The College reserves the right to report delinquent accounts to the appropriate credit bureaus which could negatively impact the student's credit standing.
Collection Agencies

The debtor is responsible for paying all collection and/or attorney fees, in addition to his or her account balance.
Non-Residents
UA-PTC students are governed by the University of Arkansas - Pulaski Technical Colleges Board of Visitors policy on student residency status. Those classified as nonresidents of Arkansas must pay higher tuition in addition to regular tuition and fees.
