For context my friend has already signed their contract and was supposed to ship a week after graduation. However they will now have to retake an online honors class due to their payments getting abruptly cancelled before graduation and will now receive their diploma at a later time than what their contract stipulates. Their recruiter is really adamant about letting them ship after a later date but is open to it. What would typically happen to them?

They are scared they are going to get arrested but I explained to them that that isnt going to happen unless they outright refuse to ship. Is that correct?

(Btw this is actually for a friend. This is the only flair that fit what Im asking.)
