Enrollment constitutes a financial contract between the student and San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI). The student’s rights to services and benefits are contingent upon the student making all payments as agreed upon. If payments of amounts owed to SFAI are not made when they become due, SFAI has the right to cancel the student’s registration and/or administratively withdraw them from the current term. In addition, balances due to SFAI are reported by our collection agencies, which may impact the student’s credit ratings. Prior to registering for a new term, the student must pay any outstanding balances from any preceding terms. If the student does not pay their outstanding balances or make payment arrangements satisfactory to SFAI, they will not be permitted to register. This policy applies to any outstanding balances with SFAI.
