In order to complete registration requirements, a
student must pay tuition, student activity fees, Technology fee, and a
consolidated services fee in full at the time of registration. If a student is
not able to pay the full amount at registration due to extenuating circumstances
a student may be able to apply for a hardship deferment.
The University's Hardship Deferral Program allows a
college to defer a portion of a student's tuition liability until after the
semester has begun. The guidelines for full-time/part-time,
resident/non-resident students are as follows:
-
No tuition deferment for
any student shall be granted for a total tuition liability of less than the
community college undergraduate resident part-time rate per billable
equivalent credit multiplied by six[6] or $720 dollars.
-
Under no circumstances
can the Student Activities, Technology Fee, and Consolidated Services Fees
be deferred.
-
The initial payment
determined by the college is required for the student to be considered
registered.
A student not paying full tuition at registration
and being granted a hardship deferral, must sign the
Bursar Invoice which includes a Hardship Deferral
Policy [Promissory
Note]. If the student does not meet the
terms and conditions of the Promissory Note, a hold will be placed on his/her
permanent records and the student will not be allowed another hardship deferment
again.
The terms and conditions of the Promissory Note
include the following:
-
A
second payment of at least 50% of the remaining balance [deferred amount] is
due 30 days after the first day of the semester.
-
The
third and final payment [of the remaining balance] is due 60 days after the
first day of the semester.
If a student defaults, at any time, on the terms of
the Promissory Note, [i.e. misses the payment date] a
$15 Non-Payment Service Fee will be added to the remaining balance due. If a
student totally defaults on payment of the remaining balance his/her account
will be referred to the University's collection agencies.
