Alumni and current students of Egerton University are a worried lot after their learning institution published their school debts and fee balances online.
The list of students with fee arrears was uploaded on the University’s website.
The institution then alerted those affected by sharing a link on Facebook.
“Egerton University wishes to notify those listed in the link below have unpaid fees arrears and are required to make necessary arrangements to pay on or before August 31, 2016,” the post read in part.
The university has threatened to report the defaulters to the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) if the money is not cleared before August 31, 2016.
Should the University goes ahead with the threats, the affected students could be denied loans or be lent at exorbitant interest rates as they will be deemed to be risk borrowers.
To be cleared,none has to pay off their debts and then get a CRB certificate of clearance before they can approach any institution for credit.
