Registration payment due dates:
The College has a pre-registration period for each semester. During this time you may pre-register for classes without paying your balance in full. However, in order to secure your selected class schedule, the balance on your tuition and fees must be paid by the stated pay-by date for each semester. If the balance is not paid by the stated pay-by date, the College will delete your registration from your selected class schedule. After the semester pay-by date, a student may register and payment is expected within 3 days. If payment is not received by the stated time, the college will delete your registration.
Methods of Payment:
Payments can be made in person at any campus location (Wye Mills, Cambridge Center, Center for Allied Health) by credit card via telephone, by credit card via CRAB or by mail - if paying by check please include the name of the student and social security number or student identification number. The College accepts VISA, MASTERCARD, or DISCOVER.
Paying a Balance Forward:
Payments for balance forwards as shown on CRAB must be made in person or via the mail. CRAB will not accept payments for any balance forward.
Financial Aid Students:
Financial aid students are required to come in person to the Business Office at one of the three campus locations (Wye Mills, Cambridge Center, Center for Allied Health) to finalize their class schedule each semester. At this time, the staff of the College will review your account balance to your financial aid, collect any balance due or issue a bookstore card for any surplus financial aid. If pre-registered, this process must be done by the stated semester pay-by date.
Deferred Payment Plan:
A deferred payment plan is available to credit students for the fall and spring semesters with a minimum balance of $400 in tuition and fees. To participate, you must come in person to the Business Office at one of the three campus locations (Wye Mills, Cambridge Center, Center for Allied Health) to sign a promissory note and pay a deposit equal to 60 percent of your tuition and fees balance. Financial aid may be used as part or all of the deposit. If pre-registered, this process must be completed by the stated semester pay-by date. If registering after the semester pay-by date, the deposit is expected within three working days of registration. The remaining balance is paid in two equal installments, approximately 30 and 60 days after classes begin. A non-refundable deferred payment fee of $25 will apply and is added to the deferred balance. The standard refund/withdrawal policy will apply.
Employer Billed Tuition and Fees:
Advance payments by company check are welcomed at the time of registration. The College can also directly bill a company (sponsorship). Please provide to the College, at time of registration, a company purchase order or a completed sponsorship authorization form . A link is provided to the form. If pre-registered, the College must receive the purchase order/authorization form by the stated semester pay-by date. After the pay-by date, the purchase order/sponsorship form is needed at time of registration. Students are not confirmed in their classes until the College receives one of the above forms of authorization. The standard refund/withdrawal policy will apply
Financial Aid Refunds:
Each semester the College refunds to students surplus financial aid remaining on their accounts after bookstore charges have been applied. This process is done, approximately four weeks after the semester start date.
Senior Citizens Waiver:
Tuition for credit courses will be waived for Maryland residents 60 years or older registering during the two weeks prior to the start of the semester. Seniors will be responsible for all applicable fees. Seniors wishing to register prior to this date must pay full tuition and fees. The tuition waiver policy for co-listed courses offered through Continuing Education is the same as the credit courses. Seniors registering for other Continuing Education courses, except those designated as CES, AFC, or FTW will have tuition waived at any time. Proof of age required.
Students receiving Social Security payments based on a disability are eligible for a tuition waiver for both credit classes and continuing education classes (excluding CES, AFC and FTW courses). The tuition waiver certification form must be completed, verified by a social security office and received by the College prior to tuition being waived. The certification form must be completed for each semester. The student is responsible for paying the balance on their account in accordance with the College's stated payment policies.
