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 by the end of Friday of the second week of term (see chart below); 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. Review the specific course drop deadlines on-line in the searchable class schedule.

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, MasterCard, Discover Card, or American Express will be credited back to the credit card. Overpayments made through InstaFacts will be refunded by check.

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:

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.
