General Payment Information

Where to Go

Tuition and fees can be paid at the Business Office located in Room 150A on the Greenwood Campus or at any of the six County Centers. You can also pay online using the online payment form.

Payment Methods

Cash, check, VISA, MASTERCARD and DISCOVER are accepted.  Checks should be made payable to Piedmont Technical College.  Please include the student's Social Security Number on all checks.

Payment Deadlines & Late Fees

Full payment of fees is expected before the term begins.  A $50 late fee will be charged to those students who pay once the term begins.  With the additional late fee, students have through the add/drop period to pay.  After the add/drop period, registration on accounts not paid in full will be canceled due to non-payment.

Returned Checks

There will be a $30 service charge on all returned checks.  Registration will be canceled for any returned checks.  PTC allows no more than two returned checks per student.  After two returned checks, the college will accept only cash or VISA, MASTERCARD or DISCOVER.

Payment Plan

Piedmont Technical College wants to make college as affordable as possible for you. To assist you in achieving your educational goals, a deferred payment plan administered by Nelnet is available.

This is a payment plan and not a loan – interest charges, finance charges and credit checks do not apply. View more information on the Payment Plan.

Payment Using Financial Assistance

• If you receive a grant, loan or scholarship, your award will be posted directly into your student account to offset tuition and fees. If the aid posted is not enough to cover tuition and fees, it is your responsibility to pay the remaining balance before the terms begins to avoid being charged a late fee.
  
• If you are a late financial aid applicant, you will need to make arrangements for payment before classes begin. Contact the Business Office.
  
• After tuition and fees are applied against the financial award, any credit balance remaining will be available in the Campus Shop to be used for purchases.  Check the student calendar for dates. The deadline for all registration adjustments and Campus Shop purchases is through the first week of the term.
  
• Any credit balances on student accounts will be disbursed to the student within 14 days from the start of the term. All checks are mailed to the permanent address.  There are no early releases.
  
• Late financial aid applicants will have to contact the Office of Student Financial Aid to determine when their funds will be available.
