Well, sadly you are not the only one that did not believe me. My family, the closest to me, said the same thing, and it took a while to convince them i was not in california to play.. that is after coming back empty handed / degreeless.

Please refer to the FAQ from the university i was studying at. #10 to be exact https://sbs.fullerton.edu/about/FAQs.php I was late to pay the tuiton, only because the bank account was suddenly frozen, on a long weekend.

This is the program i was talking about, you can review the eligibility, which states that the student must be currently enrolled. https://www.fullerton.edu/basic-needs/

How long did the bank hold on to your money?

To me that says "talk to us before the deadline if you've got problems paying". What did they say when you said your bank was having problems?

I don't have any context into OP's story that isn't in this thread, but there's no legal requirement for a bank to immediately give you access to your funds if your account is closed, especially if its closed for suspicious activity. My wife had a PNC account closed when she was in college and their official position was that they would mail a cashier's check to the address on the account within 90 days. I'd be shocked if anyone in this situation has gotten access to their money within 30 days.

They said they got access in 1 week. That they got their roll in univ revoked in 1 week that happened to have a long weekend is dubious sounding either side - it all happened in 1 week feels tooshort on univ side or 1 week sounds too short on the bank side

They also said elsewhere that this "1 week" revocation of their university enrollment was the end of a long string of them not paying, not purchasing required insurance, etc.

Basically this happened at the worst possible time and by then the university had had enough of them not paying the bill and not following required policies.

Yeah, I am not believing this story at all.

No University is going to disown you if you are late 1 week. The rest of the story is just as weak.
