below.
4. Student is currently or was recently enrolled at Dickinson.
5. Student opened a Student Receivables Account (hereinafter "Account") with

Dickinson, agreed to pay Dickinson for all charges made to the Account.
7. Student received and accepted all goods and services provided by Dickinson and
thereby agreed to payment for said goods and services.
