Payment deadlines

Students who have registered for classes but have not met one of the tuition deferral options (see below) for the payment of their tuition and fees by July 26, 2010 may have their registration canceled.

Students registering for classes between July 27, 2010 and August 22, 2010 will have 5 business days from the time of their registration to make arrangements for the payment of their tuition and fees.  Students who do not make arrangements by that deadline may have their registration cancelled. 

Students registering for classes anytime during the first 5 days of the semester must make arrangements for the payment of their tuition and fees by August 27, 2010.  Students who do not make arrangements by that deadline may have their registration cancelled and may be unable to re-enroll in fall semester courses.

If you decide not to attend, please do not rely on the "registration cancellation for non-payment" process as a way to drop your classes.

Tuition deferral options

Students can arrange for the payment of their tuition and fees in any one of the following easy ways:

  • Sign up for an automatic payment plan, NBS e-Cashier (Nelnet).
  • Make a down-payment of $300 or 15 percent of the total amount owed (whichever is less), or
  • The Business Office will defer your tuition/fees if Century College has received your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
  • Submit a Third Party Billing Authorization to the Business Office, or
  • Submit a verification of an outside scholarship to cover tuition and fees to the Business Office.

Please Note: PSEO students must submit forms to the Business Office.

Final payment deadline

Full payment of all tuition and fees must be made by September 21, 2010. Students who do not pay their tuition and fees in full by the September 21deadline will be assessed a monthly late fee of $25, as well as a single administrative fee of $30 for placing the student on the college payment plan. Students with outstanding account balances after the September 21 deadline will have a hold placed on their record and will be unable to register for future courses or obtain an official transcript until their account balance is paid in full.

Non-attendance

NOTE: If students decide not to attend their classes, it is their responsibility to drop them. Students are responsible for the payment of tuition and fees for all courses not dropped during the first 3 business days of the session, regardless of whether or not the student chooses to attend the class.

If you decide not to attend, please do not rely on the "registration cancellation for non-payment" process as a way to drop your classes.

Students who do not plan on attending registered classes must drop on the internet at the Century Registration page or complete a drop form in person at the Records Office prior to the 5th day of the semester. Century College does not drop students for non-attendance. Therefore, DO NOT rely on the college to drop you from your courses.

After the 5th day of the semester (August 27, 2010) all registered students are financially committed for tuition and fees. All classes at Century College have a limited number of seats available. Your registration reserves a seat in each of your classes, and prevents another student from registering should a class be full.

  • In requesting this reservation, you have incurred a tuition obligation.
  • No invoices or tuition statements are sent out. View your fee statement online at Pay for College and pay for tuition.
  • Students are required to pay tuition and fees unless they drop classes prior to the 5th day of the semester in person at the Records Office or on the internet at the Century Registration page.
