A College Payment Plan is available to assist students in meeting their financial obligations.

In the event that a student’s financial aid exceeds the cost of tuition and fees charged in a semester, the college will issue a refund check. Refunds are issued after the college officially receives the funding. Depending on the funding sources, this could take 8-10 weeks after the semester starts.  NOTE: If the college is waiting for aid to be received, that aid source will appear on your tuition invoice with an asterisk (*) beside it. When the college receives the aid source the asterisk (*) will disappear. It is possible for a student to receive multiple refund checks in one semester based on the timing of funds received. 

In the event that a student has urgent financial need, they can contact the Business Office to request an advance. Advances are granted on a case-by-case basis.

In the event that a student’s aid and/or loans exceed the cost of tuition and fees charged to a student’s account, a student can request a Bookstore Voucher to use in the College’s Bookstore. This voucher allows a student to purchase books/items at the College's Bookstore using the credit on their student account. The voucher cannot exceed the amount of the credit available. To be eligible, the student’s financial aid file must be complete and have no conflicting or missing information. For example, verification (if applicable), master promissory note (MPN), entrance counseling, etc. must be complete. If borrowing a private loan, the loan must be certified by the Financial Aid office at least 10 days prior to the issue of the voucher.
