Office of Student Accounts

Paying Your Bill

Students are expected to make payment arrangements with the Office of Student Accounts by the first day of classes each semester or the due date on the bill if registering late or making adjustments to their schedule (see When We Bill). The payment amount should be for the difference between the semester charges and any deferred financial aid (including bank loans), outside scholarships, etc. A $100.00 late payment fee will be assessed if arrangements are made after this date.

• The College accepts the following forms of payment: cash, check or money order (presented in U.S. Funds only!), Visa or MasterCard. Payment may be made in person, by mail, or by phone (see OSA Home for details).
  
  
• If there is any financial aid pending at the time payment is due, the student must sign a promissory note in the Office of Student Accounts in order to complete the registration process and be admitted to classes. If the pending financial aid covers the balance due on the bill, there is no fee charged for signing the promissory note.
  
  
• If payment of the "Total Amount Due" on the bill is not possible by the due date, the College offers the following payment options:
  
  
• The 4-Month Payment Plan: - This option requires a down payment of 25% of the "Total Amount Due" by the due date of the bill and the remaining balance is divided into three (3) equal payments throughout the rest of the academic semester. (** There is a charge associated with this option -- see below - fee schedule).
  
  
• The 10-Month Payment Plan: - This option offers a no-interest, 10-month plan to pay for the academic year's charges (Fall & Spring semesters only). Enrollment in the plan must begin at the start of the Fall semester with 10% of the balance due then and the remaining balance divided into 9 equal payments. (** There is a annual charge associated with this option -- see below - fee schedule).
  
  

  Promissory Note Fee:
  
  Balance : less than $100 - No Charge
  $100 to $300 - $25.00
  $301 to 2,500 - $50.00
  $2,501 to $ 5,000 - $100.00
  Over $5,000 - $150.00

  ** Please stop in or call the OSA if you wish to enroll in either of these payment plans.
  

• Employer Reimbursements: - If a student will be receiving reimbursement from their employer for their tuition, the College requires that a promissory note be signed each semester, as well as a current letter from their employer stating their eligibility for and terms of the reimbursement. The promissory note fee will be waived except for students required to make payments in addition to and/or prior to their employer reimbursement.
  

Please remember:

• The College reserves the option to cancel the registration of any students that do not make satisfactory payment arrangements for each semester.
  
• All financial obligations must be settled in full before any claim is made for a degree, semester grade reports, or transcripts. Students will be charged for collection agency fees and reasonable attorney fees incurred in enforcing collection of any and all outstanding amounts owed to the College.
