Cancellations for Non-Payment

Payment Requirements for Course Enrollment

To avoid administrative cancellation of all courses, students must meet one of the following payment criteria by the due dates:

  1. Complete Payment:

    • Pay in full using cash, check, or credit card. Payments can be submitted by mail, in person, or online.

  2. Payment Plan Enrollment:

  3. Financial Aid Submission:

    • Ensure your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is processed by the Department of Education and on file at the College.
    • Note: If after applying for financial aid you find you are not eligible for grants or loans, you are still financially responsible for all classes not dropped.

  4. Additional Funding Sources:

    • Submit a consortium agreement to the college.
    • Provide authorization for third-party agency funding.
    • Secure a scholarship or tuition waiver covering at least 15% of tuition and fees.
    • Make a down payment of either 15% or $300 of the tuition and fees owed, whichever is less. Note that this down payment will maintain your registration but does not prevent a $50 late fee if the balance is unpaid by the 28th calendar day of the term.

Policy and Monitoring

To navigate these policies effectively, consider these options:

  • FAFSA Submission: File a FAFSA for the current school year online as soon as possible.
  • Enroll in Payment Plans: Consider enrolling in the FACTS Payment Plan.
  • Account Monitoring:
    • Regularly check your student account and financial aid status online by logging in with your student tech ID and PIN.
    • Look for indicators on your account:
      • A GREEN GO SIGN indicates that payment criteria have been met and you will remain enrolled.
      • A RED STOP SIGN indicates that you must meet one of the payment criteria to remain enrolled.
    • Report any discrepancies in payment or financial aid information early for resolution.

Important Reminder for Course Withdrawal:

Students planning to withdraw from courses should not rely solely on the Registration Cancellation for Nonpayment process. If you decide not to attend your registered classes, you must:

  • Log-in to eServices and visit “Courses & Registration” and click on “View/Modify Schedule” to withdraw from classes
  • Contact your academic advisor with any questions and to discuss altering your academic plan
