Your Bill
Student Financial Services bills for tuition approximately three months prior to the start of the semester with a tuition due date the Friday before the semester begins. As an e-billing institution, account balances, including charges and payments, are reflected in Self-Service in real time. You should not expect to receive billing statements mailed to your home address. For specific financial dates and deadlines, please refer to the published Academic Calendar.
After the initial posting of bills for an academic term, charges, along with any changes done by add/drop actions, are reflected immediately. Once you have been registered for classes, you agree to:
- Assume financial responsibility for any charges and/or fees as posted to your student account.
- Abide by the official College policies regarding withdrawal from the College.
- Assume the responsibility for understanding the College’s official policy concerning schedule changes and satisfactory academic progress, which may result in additional charges or the loss of eligibility for certain types of financial aid.
All accounts must be paid in full in order for students to enroll in succeeding terms or to receive copies of certificates, diplomas, and transcripts. Failure to pay tuition bills in full may result in the use of a third-party collection agency. In this case, reasonable collection fees and a report of negative credit may apply.
If any charges remain unpaid after the due date, or if you made a payment that was rejected by your financial institution, your student account will be assessed late fees and finance charges. In addition, a hold will be placed on your student record that restricts access to College services, including registration, transcripts and diplomas.
Students with past due balances who are not currently enrolled in courses at the College will be contacted via mail and email in regards to their balances. If a balance remains unpaid, student accounts can be sent to a third party collection agency.
A Past Due Balance Hold is placed on student accounts when a student has a past due balance or a student has not paid their bill by the tuition due date. It is important all students review the Tuition Due Dates each semester. This hold will prevent a student from using College resources such as adding or making changes to their class schedule and accessing official transcripts.
Students with past due balances will not have their holds removed until all past due balances are paid in full.
