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
