Student Account Information

Student Financial Obligation / Student Payment Agreement

By registering, students automatically incur a financial obligation to the college in the form of tuition, fees, and other charges.  Prior to census date each semester, students will be required to either have their bill paid in full or have completed a Student Payment Agreement indicating that they understand they are responsible for paying for tuition, fees and other related charges.  Failure to make full payment or commit to a payment plan by census date will result in student being dropped from all classes.

Note:
The US Department of Education requires that institutions ensure financial aid funds are used to pay for courses that apply to a student's degree program. The Course Program of Study (CPoS) will be considered when determining Federal Financial Aid eligibility. If a student is enrolled in courses that do not count towards their degree, the student will be responsible for those course costs. Students should verify their curriculum to ensure CPoS will approve financial aid funding.

No student who has a prior financial obligation to the college will be allowed to register for any new semester. Financial obligation shall include tuition and fees, room and board charges, and any other financial holds placed on the student’s record showing a balance owed to the college.
