Is a college application form considered a contract? I was a minor when I signed it is it now null and void?
I applied for college when I was 17. 2 weeks before my first class my mother and I had a falling out and I was unable to purchase school books, or even travel to college. I signed this application 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. I never dropped the classes and now I am being charged $1400 + interception of my State tax return. Is this "application/contract" considered null and void?

In general, yes, it is a contract.
Also in general, minors cannot be held to contracts.
If you were 17 when you applied, the college or university probably would have required a parent or guardian's signature. That person would be initially liable under the contract.
However, if you turn 18 and behave in any way consistently with the contract that you signed as a minor, then you are considered to have "ratified" the contract through your conduct as an adult.
Even if your parent did not sign on your behalf, if you didn't drop the classes before your 18th birthday, your are considered to have ratified the contract through your inaction. Thus, on the day you turned 18, it became a valid contract.

You're not talking about an "application". An application is what you send first to the college and they decide if you are accepted. Then they send a letter back telling you if you are or not. If you are, then you must ENROLL in the college, sign up for classes, apply for housing, etc. All that would have been done weeks or months after the application was signed so you were already 18 anyway, but even if you weren't you parents would have had to sign for you for it to be accepted. I sent five or six "applications" away, but I only ENROLLED in one university.

it truly is an occasion of what Jesus stated as 'the traditions of adult adult males'. The catholic church placed this in place, besides the shown fact that it isn't everywhere got here upon in the bible in any respect. The catholic church has all varieties of what they call 'saints' while the recent testomony calls all believers saints (because of the fact we are being replaced, and cleansed). The catholic church grabbed this meaning for themselves, and pin-pointed particular holy human beings (as they observed it) to be saints, of this, that and the different, and particular human beings pray TO them instead of to the Lord or God. mixed up, suited? I only stay with God's notice, way less demanding, and clearer and don't address those different factors in any respect.
