Payment Policies
Tuition and fee payments have due dates based upon when you register for the semester. Students with unpaid bills beyond the due date are subject to cancellation by the College. The balance must be paid in full by the due date to avoid cancellation of your entire schedule. You are responsible for withdrawing from each course if you do not plan to attend.
The College reserves the right to revise the tuition and fee structure without prior notice.
Avoid long lines! Pay online! All students can now pay your tuition from the college website! Log on to myCampus and click on the Self Service link. If you would like to register for our deferred payment plan, go to www.chesapeake.edu/financial-aid/payment-plan.
Registration payment due dates
Pay-By Date Fall 2024: AUGUST 12, 2024
Don't get stuck with a large, surprise balance—or miss out on your classes!
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 one business day. If payment is not received by the stated time, the college will delete your registration.
