Nonsufficient Funds
For any payment that is returned or denied for any reason, you will be sent a notification informing you of the amount due and how to pay. A returned/denied charge of $25 will be applied to your account and you risk loosing eligibility to participate in future payment plans.
Payment must be received within 15 calendar days from the date on the notification in person or the student may be dropped from class(es). If a second payment is returned/denied, eligibility to participate in the payment plan may be denied. Because a check payment has been returned, your payments must now be in the form of cash, credit card, debit card, money order or cashier’s check.
Drop for Nonpayment

Refunds for Credit and Noncredit Courses 2.102
Refunds are contingent on a student formally withdrawing from a course(s) and the amount is determined by when a student formally withdraws. More»
In the event emergency medical, job or family reasons prevent a student from obtaining a satisfactory tuition refund according to the college’s refund schedule, the Tuition Adjustment Advisory Council (TAAC) may provide for financial adjustment in a timely, fair and reasonable manner.
The student must first submit a completed TAAC form along with proper documentation to the Student Accounts Office, SRC 141, within ten (10) working days of dropping the course(s). Get maps & directions»
The TAAC committee meets the first Tuesday of every month to review requests. Letters are mailed to students to notify them of the outcome by the first Friday of each month. Students may appeal the TAAC decision to the vice president of business & finance.
