Spring is just around the corner. It’s time to start cultivating your spring schedule. Carefully select your courses, and then plan your payments to protect your course schedule.
Your spring term registration charges must be funded before the Spring Early Registration payment deadline of 8 p.m., Dec. 4. Accounts with balances not fully funded on or before Dec. 4 are subject to courses being dropped for non-payment. After the early registration payment deadline, any new course registration should be paid at the time of registration.
A “no fee” payment plan is available during early registration. There is no additional cost or paperwork necessary. Students may make partial payments as their budgets allow, but the full amount must be paid by the Dec. 4 payment deadline.
Won’t be able to pay the full amount by Dec. 4? The spring 2020 promissory note payment plan option is available online from Nov. 19-Jan. 24, but it must be initiated by applicable payment deadlines. A promissory note and initial payment of 50 percent of the tuition and fee charges plus a $25 non-refundable fee is due at the time of enrollment into the payment plan and meets payment deadline funding requirements. The remaining balance may then be paid in two scheduled installments later in the term.
For students with third-party funding, submit a new copy of third-party billing agreements and/or letter of eligibility for each semester to a cashier office location prior to the payment deadline date.
Students with financial aid are responsible for fulfilling all eligibility requirements for their aid, including course registration status and sufficient funding to cover all charges on the student account.
Before the Spring 2020 term begins:
• Make note of the payment deadline and comply with it. You worked hard to select the courses that meet your needs. Pay by the deadline to protect your courses.
• Verify that your courses meet your schedule needs, including the time, day, campus, and level.
• If you need to make changes to your schedule, make those changes before the first day of term.
• If you drop or swap a course after midnight Jan. 20, the refund credit for the course is reduced to no more than 70 percent.
Being prepared to attend the first day of the course increases your academic success and saves you money. For more information on payments or refunds, go to www.collin.edu or email cashier@collin.edu.
