PAYMENT PLAN

All tuition and fees are due and payable by the first day of classes. By prior arrangement, a student may defer tuition and fee charges. The following is a list of key features included in our billing system.

 

       VARIOUS DUE DATES

 

In recent years colleges have become more creative in course offerings to address the needs of students. Many courses are now offered outside of the traditional semester schedule. The system provides for various courses which start on different dates throughout the semester. Payment is due on the first day of the semester for most courses; however, for those courses starting later in the semester, payment will be due on the first day of classes. The statements show various due dates.

       DEFERRED PAYMENTS

 

All payments must be made by the due dates specified on the statements to avoid finance charges. The student may choose to defer any portion of his/her account balance throughout the semester; however, a monthly finance charge will be assessed on the overdue portion of the account balance. Final payment is due by the end of the semester. Also, it is important to note that the account must be paid in full to take advantage of early registration for subsequent semesters.

       MONTHLY BILLING

 

The College will send statements monthly to all students who have account balances. The monthly statements will also include finance charges which were added for overdue amounts for that billing period.

STUDENT TUITION ASSISTANCE

Tuition subsidies are currently being provided by the State of Pennsylvania. After subsidies are received, they are applied to Pennsylvania students’ account to reduce tuition charges for courses taken at the Pennsylvania Campuses. Tuition subsidies are not guaranteed each year, but the College will continue to seek these funds.
