RE: Extending Temporary Amendment 1E SBCCC 200.2 – Time Due,

Deferred Payment, Failure to Pay

DATE: February 23, 2021

On April 17, 2020 the State Board of Community Colleges adopted the above temporary amendment in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The amendment gives colleges the ability to enroll or distribute an academic credential to a student with an outstanding balance if the college determines that the balance is due to a COVID-19 related reason.

The amendment was set to expire on April 12, 2021, but the State Board has readopted it and extended it for another 180 days. The new expiration date is October 9, 2021. The State Board may extend this duration again, if necessary. The temporary amendment will be published on the NC Community College System’s website, www.nccommunitycolleges.edu. under “State Board Code.” For your convenience, a copy of the temporary amendment is attached to this memorandum.
