Prioritization Notes

Level 4

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

PBIE ranking 4. Part Time Collection Clerk Bursar’s Office ($16,850.00/15,000.00) With recent increases in student enrollment, comes a problem for the college regarding non-payment of tuition and other fees. Whether it is total default of payment or partial, a dedicated part-time collection clerk has the potential of collecting five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) in outstanding tuition per academic year. The positive impact on the operating budget of the college is obvious. The person in this position will work in a positive, personal, proactive, and non-threatening way to collect outstanding student accounts. This will make the student’s experience here at OCCC a more favorable one, instead of having to deal with a collection agency.
