After registering for classes, students are responsible for paying all charges by the published deadlines. Failure to pay all charges may result in a hold being placed on student's records or subsequent registrations, in a failing grade, and/or deletion of students' schedules. Students should not assume that unpaid charges will result in classes being dropped from their schedules. Schedule changes do not alter the original due date. Tuition and fees are due by the following deadlines:
Distance Learning Class Payments: Tuition and fees for all Distance Learning classes except those in the electronic classrooms must be paid within 10 working days after the date of registration. Tuition and fees for classes taught in the electronic classrooms must be paid by the above deadlines.
