A purge is the deletion of the entire class schedule of a student due to non-payment of fees (or having a balance due without a Deferred Payment Plan).  Students who are purged must re-register for classes.  Payment is required to re-register for a purged class.

Not necessarily.  A purge has to do with fee payment, not class attendance.

Fall and Spring Terms

Charges are due and payable in full prior to the start of class.  Students in good standing may be eligible to participate in the Deferred Payment Plan.  The down payment is $10 service fee plus 50% of the account balance.  The remaining balance is due in 2 equal installments on the dates listed on the Deferred Payment Plan.  A $25 late payment fee is automatically added to the account for each payment that is not made on the due date ($50 max per term).

The Deferred Payment Plan is not available for the Summer Term. 

Students enrolled in a Deferred Payment Plan will not be dropped for failure to make the scheduled payments.  Non-payment of account balances will result in the college withholding services including grades, transcripts and future registration until the account balance is paid in full.

Non-payment of account balances will result in the college withholding services including grades, transcripts and future registration until the account balance is paid in full.  Unpaid accounts are subject to referral to a collection agency and report to the credit bureau.

A $30 returned check fee will be charged to the student account.  The account will be placed on hold.  The student will be given 10 days to redeem the check and clear the student account.  If a cash or credit card (checks will not be allowed) is not received in 10 days, the student will be dropped form all classes.  The account will remain on hold until all fees have been paid.

Refunds are process after all fee adjustments have been applied to the student account.  Refunds will be processed in the same manner as the payment received.  Credit card refunds will be credited back to the credit card that was used to pay the account.  All other refunds will be process electronically first.  Paper checks will be mailed later.

YES!  Receiving your refund electronically is the best way.  You will not have to worry about checks that are lost in the mail.
