Policy Statement
Students enrolled in credit classes will be eligible to enroll in the College’s tuition payment plan. The payment plan is intended to provide students with flexible options for paying tuition and applicable fees over time.
Guidelines
Students who enroll in the payment plan are expected to comply with the terms and conditions established by the College for each academic term. Payment plan options, payment schedules, eligibility requirements, and applicable deadlines will be communicated through the College website or other official College publications. If administratively feasible, the College will strive to consistently offer a payment plan that requires no down payment.
An enrollment fee may be charged to students who participate in the payment plan. The fee will be approved by the Board of Trustees.
For any given term, the administration may permit students to use the payment plan to satisfy current tuition and fees as well as certain previously incurred financial obligations to the College, as determined by the administration.
Failure to comply with the terms of the payment plan may result in administrative action, which may include deregistration from currently enrolled classes prior to the start of the semester, deregistration from the payment plan or other collection actions in accordance with College procedures.
Outcomes
The implementation of the payment plan supports the College’s goals to:
- Encourage timely registration,
- Provide students with flexible tuition payment options,
- Support student retention, and
- Improve the College’s ability to collect outstanding receivables.
