<prompt> Human: Hey yall, I was recently sent an email regarding that I owe my community college 1164 dollars for one class during summer. I registered for the class, but I never showed up the first day due to some circumstances. The thing is, I never officially dropped the class 100 my fault, because I assumed if you dont show up the first day then you will be dropped. 900 of the 1164 is because they considered me an out of state student, I am not, and I have residential proof of. Which I can fix by monday The thing is, their policy stated that I MAY be dropped if I do not show up to class. So that makes sense if I have to pay the amount right? The thing is I recieved an email weeks ago that states Our records indicate you are currently enrolled in a class that will start on the week of June 19, 2017, and this message serves as a friendly reminder to review your class schedule and to attend the first day of your class; otherwise, per the colleges policy, you will be dropped as a no show. We look forward to seeing you on campus. Do I have a case not to pay the amount at all?  <response>: Consider writing an APOLOGETIC letter to the registrar explaining why you never showed up to class and your confusion over the drop class policy. You can hand it in when you show your state residency. I had a similar situation where I signed up to live in a dorm at a college I ended up not attending. 2 weeks before school start I get a bill for said dorm I was not living in. Sent a letter apologizing for not canceling place as I was distracted by my mother being ill the whole summer. Thing was forgiven never heard from them again.
