All students enrolled under agency programs through a workforce center or other organization must have an official agency authorization on file in the Accounts Receivable Department prior to the due date of tuition. It is the student’s responsibility to see that proper authorization has been issued to Southeast Technical, failure to do could result in the dropping of courses.
