Payment of Tuition and Fees

Full payment of tuition and fees is expected before the term begins.  For your convenience, the college accepts cash, personal checks, MasterCard, Visa and Discover for payment of tuition and fees.  A 1.5% service charge will be applied to all credit card transactions. Registration on accounts not paid in full by the payment deadline will be deleted.  Once you are registered for classes you are responsible for the tuition charged. Please notify the Student Records Office if you are not able to attend; otherwise, you could owe the college for those classes.

Future registrations will be blocked, and all grades will be held for any debt to the college.  If a student fails to meet financial obligations to the college and the account is turned over to a collection agency or the S.C. Department of Revenue, the student will be responsible for paying all collection fees involved.  Students have 30 days from written notification to dispute any outstanding balances.

Returned Checks

Returned checks will be assessed a $30 service charge. Registration will be canceled for any returned checks. The college will allow no more than one returned check per student. After one returned check, the college will accept only cash or credit card. Maximum penalty by state statute will be imposed at all times.
