Grand Canyon University [GCU] review: A bill and payment that the school is saying that I owe

I enrolled in Grand Canyon University to seek another degree. After I enrolled, I got COVID. I had to withdraw from school. I never attended any classes. I was unable to withdraw by the date because of my medical condition, when I did withdraw, they told me that I was too late and they are charging me for that semester. I did not attend classes. Due to me having COVID and the pandemic was going around the country, the university should have been more compensating and helpful.

The Department of Education recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic created many unique challenges for postsecondary institutions. The Department provided a variety of special guidance and regulatory flexibilities due to the President’s declaration of the COVID - 19 national emergency on March 13, 2020. In addition, Congress passed legislation offering relief from certain statutory requirements related to the Title IV, HEA programs.

Although COVID-19 continues to affect the lives of many Americans, the COVID-19 national emergency ended on April 10, 2023, through enactment of H.J. Res. 7, Public Law No. 118-3. Additionally, the COVID-19 public health emergency ended on May 11, 2023. These actions will trigger the sunset of many waivers and flexibilities for the Federal student financial aid programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I should have not been billed for withdrawing from Grand Canyon University, The university has sent this to collection and is reporting it on my credit report.
