COTOP is a program that provides 欧美群交 with a method of collecting Accounts Receivable balances for student financial aid and non-financial aid obligations.
Past due accounts will be submitted by 欧美群交 to COTOP for a tax offset
(via an intercept by the Franchise Tax Board of any tax refunds, lottery winnings,
or unclaimed property that might be owed to you).
Please be aware that this debt will NOT be submitted to any major credit agencies.
The letter was to formally notify you of amounts owed to 欧美群交, and that
欧美群交 is participating in the California Community Colleges Chancellor's
Office Tax Offset Program (COTOP).
Prior to submitting an account to COTOP for tax offset, the 欧美群交 Administrative
Services Office will send out a 鈥渄ue process鈥� collection letter to the last known
address of the students, instructing them that they may be sent to COTOP. Students
then have 30 days to pay their fees in full or to make payment arrangements before
the debtor data is submitted to the State Chancellor鈥檚 Office. This is to allow the
debtor time to question the debt and/or pay the college before the tax offset process
begins through the Franchise Tax Board.

Please follow the instructions on the letter you have received. You can pay your fees
either online through or by mail. If your fees are not paid in full in the 30 days after the letters are sent out,
your information will be submitted to COTOP.
You may submit an Appeal Letter and any supporting documentation to this action.
Please complete Section 1 of the form, including your full name, student ID number,
mailing address. You can fax (831-759-6014), email (Admissions@hartnell.edu) or send your request within 30 days from the date
of this letter to 欧美群交, Attn: Admission and Records Office/COTOP, 411
Central Ave, CA 93901.
Upon receipt of your objections and supporting documentation, the Student Petitions Committee will review your request. If the committee finds that the debt is in error, the COTOP request will be withdrawn or the amount will be corrected. If no objections are submitted or if the objections are considered to be insufficient, we will proceed with this action.

You may contact the Admissions & Records Office at (831) 755-6711 for clarification on what the COTOP entails.
Your pasts due student fees were submitted to COTOP due to non-payment. Because Hartnell College did not receive anything in writing to dispute the charges explained above, COTOP was used as a collections tool provided by the State of California. If you want to dispute your charges, please follow the instructions above.
You can access your student account to check your outstanding balance by logging into My HARTNELL (Formerly PAWS) Self-Serve Student Planner. Click on Account Summary by Term to see the semester/year in which fees are owed.
