handle is hein.gao/gaobadljo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: T.iHE COMPTROLLER IENERAL OIECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASmoNGTON. 0. 0. 2054U PiLE: B-212848 DATE: October 24, 1983 MATTER OF: The University of Virginia DIGEST: 1. As a general rule, GAO must receive claims against the government within 6 years after they accrue. State university's claim for tuition for two Army members enrolled during 1974-75 academic year, first received in 1983, therefore may not be paid. Moreover, university's attempt to recover amounts due from Army in 1980 does not toll running of 6-year period. 2. Exception to 6-year statute of limitations for claims of a state, set forth at 31 U.S.C.A. S 3702(b)(1)(B) (formerly 31 U.S.C. S 71a (1976)), does not apply to state university. The University of Virginia, by letter dated August 19 and received in our Office on August 25, 1983, requests that we consider a claim for tuition for two students in the Army Nursing Program during the 1974-75 academic year. We find the claim is barred by the statute of limitations. The University has forwarded correspondence between it and the Army regarding Educational Service Agreement No. DABT59-75-A-0011; however, no copy of the basic agreement is available. It appears that Pfc. Mary M. Oakley and Pfc. Valerie S. Robbins, among others, attended the University as liberal arts students. Handwritten notes on a delivery order, issued by the Procurement Division, Fort Lee, Virginia, on August 21, 1974, indicate that their tuition for the fall semester was paid; in any event, it is not being claimed by the University.
