Tuition Adjustments
Will Dropping courses or withdrawing from classes impact my financial aid?	Yes, withdrawing from courses after receiving financial aid/disbursements may result in the repayment of aid funds to the college.
Will I receive a reduction in instructional and general charges if I drop or withdraw from courses?	The tuition adjustment amount is based on the date of drop or withdrawal.
Payment Plans
Do You Need a Payment Plan?	The payment plan is designed to cover your full tuition balance, no matter how it will eventually be paid—whether by financial aid, scholarships, or personal payments. Payment plans will be assessed a fee of $30.
	If your preliminary financial aid is enough to cover your tuition, you do not need to enroll in a payment plan—even if one is available.
Payment Options

	You can make one payment or multiple payments, as long as your balance is paid in full by 1:00 PM on the due date.
