Tuition & Fees

Student Responsibilities

When you register for a class, you agree to pay for it and you will be responsible for all charges and any grade you receive, whether or not you attend.

You are responsible for full payment of all charges on your account even if another party is paying. If you cannot make payment arrangements you are responsible for dropping your classes by the drop with refund deadline.

You will not be dropped from your classes for nonpayment.

Refund Policy

College cancels a class: you will get a full refund of tuition and fees.

You drop a class that meets for the entire term within the first two weeks: you will receive a refund of tuition and fees as long as you have no outstanding debts.

Less than full-term classes: These classes have a shorter refund period.

You will not receive a refund or credit toward another class for any classes dropped after the end of the refund period.

Refunds for classes paid by Visa or Mastercard will be credited back to the credit card.

Refunds are not issued for amounts under $5.

Changes in the number of hours for which you are registered may affect your financial aid, agency or veteran's benefits.

Late Fees

Late fees will be assessed on unpaid balances as follows:
$25 - 10 days after you register
$25 - February 15, 2008
$25 - March 14, 2008

The maximum late fee per term is $75.

Failure to pay
A past due account may result in denial of future college services including registration, withholding of transcripts, denial of future credit, impairment of credit history, and additional assessment of collection charges and attorney fees.

Installment Plan

Installment plans for winter term will have a due date for the second payment of Friday, February 22, 2008.

Make sure your schedule is complete before finalizing your contract. To defer any additional tuition for added classes, you will need to pay another non-refundable $15 fee. A late payment fee of $10 will be charged on all installment plans not paid by Friday, February 22, 2008.
