Students at Talladega College will begin their academic year with a ‘clean slate.’ The College has announced plans to clear $925,666 in debt for students with balances for the terms of Spring 2020 through Summer 2021.
With the clearance of balances, students will be able to have financial holds removed from their accounts, allowing them to register for the Fall 2021 semester at the College.
“The pandemic has resulted in a tremendous amount of grief for many families throughout this nation, said Dr. Billy C. Hawkins, president of Talladega College. “It brings me joy to eliminate the stress of financial hardship that some of our students have been facing for over a year.”
The debt forgiveness does not impact a student’s current fees incurred from Fall 2021 registration. Fall 2021 classes began Wednesday, August 18th; registration and academic advisement are currently available to all current and prospective students.
