The appeal must be in writing and directed to the division or department head assessing the financial obligation. Notice of the appeal shall be given within ten days after notice of right to appeal is received. Following such notice, the student shall be allowed an informal hearing with the head or appointed representative of the department or division assessing the obligation. The decision of such hearing shall be final: Provided, That in the event such financial obligation shall prove to be of a magnitude requiring the assessed student to terminate his or her relationship with Columbia Basin Community College, the student shall have a right to a formal hearing as provided in RCW 28B.19.120.

     (2) If the student has not satisfied his financial obligation to the college within ten days after his right to a hearing has expired, the college may take the action provided in WAC 132S-40-090 after providing the financially obligated student with notice of the intended action, whenever such notice is possible.
