What You Need To Know (Starting Fall 2026)
Enrollment and other required fees are charged at the time of registration. Beginning in Fall 2026, all students are required to pay their fees by the published payment deadlines each term.
If fees are not paid by the deadline, you may:
- Be dropped from one or more classes before the term starts
- Have a registration hold placed on your account
A registration hold may:
- Prevent you from enrolling in future terms
- Limit access to certain college services
Payment Deadlines
All required fees must be paid by the deadline based on when you registered.
Winter 2027
- Thursday, December 17 (Registered Oct. 20 - Dec. 17)

Spring 2027
- Thursday, January 14 (Registered Nov. 3 - Jan. 13)

issues before the deadline.
Students Owing $200 or More
Students with an outstanding balance of $200 or more must make payment before 6:30 p.m. on the deadlines listed above.
- Winter 2027: Students who do not pay by the deadline may be dropped from all Winter classes, including waitlisted classes, on December 18, 2026.

Students who are dropped must pay the required balance and re-register for classes.
Re-registration is not guaranteed and depends on seat availability.
What Happens if I Am Dropped for Non-Payment?
Students with an outstanding balance of $200 or more who do not pay by the published deadline will be dropped from all Fall 2026 classes, including waitlisted classes.
After being dropped:

- The College cannot guarantee that previously enrolled classes will remain available.
- Additional registration restrictions may apply if a fee hold is placed on your account.
Registration Holds
Students with unpaid balances may have a registration hold placed on their account.
A registration hold may:

Fee holds are removed within one (1) business day after payment is received in full.
