Laboratory Fees

Laboratory fees are assessed for the costs of supplies and materials used in selected laboratory courses. Amounts due for individual courses are specified on the official schedule of classes published each term.

At class registration time, students are given a fee payment sheet showing total fees due. Fees for credit courses are due 14 days before the term begins (for students registering prior to that date).

For students registering after that time (within the 14-day period before classes start), fees are due at the time of registration.

• Paid in full using cash, check, Mastercard, VISA, or Discover credit cards.
• Paid through a deferred payment plan
• Approved for payment by a third-party source such as an employer (as evidenced by the completion of an authorization form). In the event that these conditions are not met, the registration is cancelled and the student is notified.
• Students with cancelled registrations are encouraged to make necessary payment arrangements and register again. Payment arrangements include Terras Deferred Payment Plans with the required downpayment and/or an approved student loan.

Students who are late in applying for financial aid and who will be relying on financial aid to pay fees may defer the instructional and lab fee payment for up to 60 days by making a down payment of the General Fees. Students must have applied for financial aid and meet preliminary eligibility criteria.

If a student is unable to pay all of the fees at registration time, a payment plan can be arranged in the Cashiers Office. This plan allows students to pay one-fourth of all fees for the term, plus a $20 one-time (nonrefundable) fee, by the payment due date. If the first payment is not received by the payment due date, the students classes will be subject to cancellation.

Three additional monthly payments complete the payment plan. If the monthly payments are not paid on the due date, an additional $25 will be charged for each late payment.

The Summer term Deferred Payment Plan allows students to pay their Summer term tuition and fees in two payments.

The first half of all fees for the term plus a $20 one-time (nonrefundable) fee must be paid by the payment due date. If the first payment is not received by the initial payment date, the students classes will be subject to cancellation. A second payment is due approximately 30 days later. If the final payment is not paid by the due date, an additional $25 will be charged for the late payment.

A $10 (nonrefundable) fee is charged per term.

A $20 fee is charged for all checks returned to the college.
