Payment Guidelines

Below are the general expectations for payment of your Tuition & Fees:

Billing fees will be assessed to students based on account status.  To avoid ALL Billing Fees (Late Fees), tuition must be covered IN FULL by the first day of classes, or have a Payment Plan in place.

Your tuition and fee charges can be covered by any combination of:

  • Personal payment
  • Financial Aid (Loans/Grants)
  • Scholarship
  • Workforce Development Career Voucher (such as Career Link, VA Benefits, etc.)

which are posted to or "Pending" on your CAMS account by the first day of class, depending on which session you are attending.

Overdue accounts:

Any accounts with an open balance after the 30th day of classes will be charged a $50 late fee. 

ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE NOTE:  Any student with an unpaid balance may be dropped from their classes at the discretion of the College. As such, please keep in contact with the Bursar's Office if you begin to experience unexpected financial difficulties or extenuating circumstances that would prevent you from paying in a timely manner.

Please see this helpful link for more information on how to review your CAMS account.
