If a student does not want to remain in class, the student must officially withdraw.
Failure to officially withdraw will result in a financial obligation to the college, whether or not the student attends class.

None of the following reasons waive your responsibility for payment of tuition:

  • Not paying your bill
  • Not receiving a bill in the mail – we do not mail tuition bills
    • If you register in person, you will receive your bill at the time you register
    • If you register via the web, you must check the Account Summary page (Self-Serve Student Quick Access Menu > Student Finance/Payments >Financial information > Account Summary by Term) and then use the Make a Payment page, to secure your registration.
  • Receiving notice that you will be dropped from your classes
  • Not receiving financial aid
  • Not attending classes
  • Not fulfilling your AMS obligation
