<prompt> Human: I had attended the first half of a semester at this particular college. The payments of this college were bi-semester, I had paid the first half.However I stop going to this college because I landed a full-time job... paying enough to not worry about college. I had no formal leaving notice. So for all the college knew I could have just died.Now, 120 days later I get a phone call from their tuition office. He saying Ive got to either appeal the fee, or pay the 4K for the second half of the semester. Without any action, theyre going to get a collection agency to start barking at me. Im currently filing the appeal, hoping the appeal gets approved. But I know its not -- colleges are just as greedy as banks now in days.Im not paying 4K for a half-semester that I never went to. To my knowledge I have no legal obligation to pay it. Or do I?Thanks!  <response>: You gave them no notice you were leaving how do you expect them to know you are not attending the other half. I would say you are on the hook for the whole semester. I would assume that the bi-semester is a payment plan and that they will really not care that you stopped coming.
