Please check your academic and financial record before logging out to confirm that registration and payment was recorded; click on Account Summary by Term to view your financial record and My Class Schedule.
Third Party Billing
Students may submit a third party document or purchase order from an employer, etc. which allows the College to bill that party directly with no restrictions Documentation must be presented at the time of registration. Web registrants will need to present the third party information prior to registration to ensure that your financial account is credited or coded or you may be dropped for non-payment.
Payment Plans
The College offers an installment payment plan. Students may enroll in the Payment Plan, a third party service for a fee, and make monthly payments for the upcoming semester. The first installment and the fee are due with the application. Terms for the payment plan contracts are monitored by the Student Payment Office. Budgets may be automatically adjusted to cover billed charges. Students who are delinquent will be subject to payment penalties, and may be denied the use of the payment plan in future semesters.
Health Insurance Waiver
Massachusetts State law requires that all students taking 9 or more credits in the fall semester or 9 or more credits in the spring semester have medical insurance. There are no exceptions. If you are taking 9 or more credit hours, you are automatically charged. You may waive the coverage if you are have comparable coverage. Waiver instructions are available at the Student Payment Office and the Enrollment Services Office. International Students may NOT waive health insurance coverage. International Students must purchase the College’s health insurance plan. The waiver form is available by clicking here.
Outstanding Financial Obligations
Students who have any outstanding financial obligations to the College will not be permitted to register. Delinquent accounts must be paid in full. Unpaid balances will be referred to state intercept and to a collections agency. This means that your state income taxes will be intercepted and you will not receive your state refund. Furthermore, additional fees will be assessed and can be as much as 33% of the balance due.
Schedule Adjustments
Students that adjust their schedule (including adding a waitlisted course) must make full payment or make payment arrangements at the time of the adjustment. Failure to do so will result in the dropping of all of your courses, not just the course(s) you are adding. For example, if you registered and paid for 2 courses and receive a call that a seat is available in a course that you waitlisted, your registration now includes 3 courses. If you do not pay for that waitlisted course immediately following registration and pay for or waive the health insurance fee, you will be dropped from all 3 courses, not just the course you added.
Students may drop (cancel) a credit course and receive a 100% refund within the schedule adjustment period. There are no refunds after the schedule adjustment periods. Lack of attendance in a course does not constitute a drop. Students who register for a course and subsequently decide not to attend classes are responsible for officially dropping the course prior to the end of the schedule adjustment period by completing a schedule adjustment form at the Enrollment Services Center.
NO refunds are issued after the specified schedule adjustment period.
