Not 100% sure but regardless of what happens to the TC in this situation, in the long run could he still get stuck with the bill since by registering he is taking up a seat that another potential paying student could have taken?

Granted in practice we all know at the start of a quarter/semester some students will have dropped said class and by the end the class might be down to half of what it started off with. Also I'd imagine it depends on the policies of said college/university.

TC stated the financial aid office said he only won't be allowed to register for the spring classes and grades might be held but I feel that is only the short term consequences if he doesn't obtain said scholarships within a month which still seem like a very small window.

On another note. TC, I hope you read this tidbit in AU's payment and disclosure statement. I'd imagine it is standard wording in any disclosure involving money but what the financial aid office told you might just be the tip of the iceberg.

The University has the right to take action to collect the balance, including, but not limited to, the following: prohibit you from scheduling classes for the following semester; withhold course credits, academic transcripts, and diploma until the balance is paid; turning over your account to a collection agency; and taking legal action to collect the balance due. You also authorize the University to release financial information about your account to those concerned with collecting the balance owed. If the University incurs any expenses in collecting your account, you shall pay all the University's cost of collection up to 15% of the total outstanding balance. This includes, but is not limited to a collection agency fee and/or reasonable attorney's fees.
