The primary functions of the Business Office are the billing and collection of tuition and fees. Although most students receive financial aid including Stafford Loans, parent PLUS Loans, and Federal Perkins Loans, there are times when a balance remains to be paid.  In those instances, the Business Office staff will work with students and parents to determine how and when these balances will be paid.

To assist families in meeting their financial obligation, the College offers two monthly payment plans – TuitionPay and TMS.

For your convenience, we also accept following credit cards: MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.  Online credit card payments are available through Web Advisor “Make a Payment”.

Monthly billing statements, showing account activity of the current semester, are mailed in the student's name to the home address until the semester balance is paid in full. Students must notify the Registrar's Office of an address change in person, in writing, or through WebAdvisor to keep records up-to-date. While students and/or parents should deduct pending financial aid not shown on the statement from the balance due, it is strongly recommended to contact financial aid as the semester progresses and aid is not disbursed.  This may be an indication of further required action on the part of the student to become eligible to receive the aid funds. If the entire balance is to be covered by pending aid, no payment needs to be made at that time.

Approximately a month before the beginning of each semester, a billing packet, including a tuition statement and instruction sheet, is mailed to all registered students. It is very important to follow enclosed instructions in order to maintain Web Advisor access to view their class schedule. In some cases, if financial aid is not confirmed or loans are not approved by the payment due date, we may ask the student to sign a promissory note or enrollment contract. All prior semester balances must be paid before registration for the upcoming semester may be approved, and grades for the current semester released.

We hope the information provided above is helpful to you. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us. We have found that as long as we keep in contact with each other there are very few situations we cannot resolve.
