Pay Tuition  

Students are not officially enrolled in classes until tuition and fees have been paid in full to the college or if contracted for full payment through a deferred payment plan. Payments must be received prior to the posted tuition deadline.

Students are dropped from classes for non-payment on an ongoing basis, however, if you do not wish to attend, you are responsible for dropping your classes to avoid debt or unsatisfactory grades.
