Bursar's Office
The Bursar's Office serves as the Institution's Cashier, responsible for accurately receipting, recording, and depositing Institutional monies. We also maintain bills, collect student account receivables, and provide customer service.
Fees
Fees are paid on a semester basis at the time of registration. The precise amount of a student's fees depends upon a number of things, the most important of which include the following:
- The number of courses taken
- The number of credit hours assigned to the courses
- The residence status of the student
It is the student's responsibility to be informed of and observe all regulations and procedures regarding tuition and fees and the entitlement to refunds.
Deferred Tuition Plan
A minimum payment of 65% of all tuition and fees must be paid at the time of registration.
Outstanding Balances
Outstanding balances not paid on or before the published due date will be placed on a Financial Hold and charged a $20 default fee. All student accounts remaining delinquent at the end of the semester (please refer to the college calendar for the specific date) will be charged an additional semester delinquency fee of $30.
Note: ALL RETURNING STUDENTS WHO HAVE AN OUTSTANDING BALANCE MUST PAY 100% OF THEIR OUTSTANDING BALANCE BEFORE THEY CAN REGISTER FOR THE CURRENT SEMESTER.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
All tuition, fees and deposits are due at the time of registration. Students that opt for the deferred tuition payment plan must pay a minimum of 65% of total tuition and fee(s) for the current term. Payments may be made online by check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, American Express, or ATM debit transfer.
Cashless Registration Process
The District does not accept cash. Students may opt to pay by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, or ATM debit transfer. It is recommended that the student review the cost of tuition and fees in the class schedule before registering. Where applicable, please remember to consider the fees for student activities, labs, admissions, and registration when calculating tuition costs.
Important Registration Information
You are officially registered when the registration staff enters your classes into the registration system or once you click the“submit” button if registering online. You must pay at least 65% of your tuition and fees at the time of registration. Once you are officially registered, you are responsible for all tuition and fees incurred, including the non-refundable registration fee. You must officially withdraw from your class(es) within the refund period to be eligible for any refund. The unpaid balance of tuition and fees is still due when you drop a course after the refund period ends. Therefore, any course dropped after the 50% refund period must be paid for in FULL.
Withdrawing from Classes
Officially withdrawing from classes may entitle students to full or partial refunds. See the refund table for important dates and percentages of tuition refunds.
Refunds
Classes cancelled by the District will result in a 100% refund. The District reserves the right to cancel classes. Students substituting another course must process a drop/add form as soon as possible without additional charge for the added class. If students do not wish to substitute another course, a refund is automatic and there is no need to process a drop/add form. Classes dropped by the student after the refund deadlines will result in ‘‘no refund.” Tuition, student activity fees, technology fee, and all course designated fees are refundable within the deadline requirements. However, registration, drop/add and deferred fees are not refundable unless the College cancels one or all of a student's classes.
