Student accounts are considered educational debt per Southern Adventist University's Financial Responsibility Agreement and constitute a student loan which is generally not dischargeable under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. ยง523(a)(8). Recognizing that the discharge of a debt through bankruptcy proceedings prohibits a creditor from subsequently pursuing the collection of the debt, Southern Adventist University, upon notification by the court of such filing, will comply with this legal prohibition. No further services will be extended. The bankruptcy of a financial sponsor in no way changes the underlying financial obligation of the student to pay their student account and/or student loans.
