Payment Obligations & Options
Payment Obligations
By registering for a class at the College, students are legally responsible to pay all tuition, fees, and other charges relating to their enrollment—even if another party is paying for their courses. Unless a student officially withdraws from courses by the deadline, they are obligated to make payments by the due date published in the relevant college publications.
If students do not make payment, make arrangements for deferred payment, provide proof of payment in full by another party, or withdraw from courses by the required date, they will also be responsible for payment of additional late charges, any collection costs and attorney fees.
Students are responsible for keeping the College informed of any changes in their mailing address or name by updating their MyCCC account.
Students under 18 years of age will be held liable for all charges incurred under Oregon Revised Statute 348.105.
Payment Options
Payments may be made by any of the following methods:
- Cash: US funds only.
- Checks: Local personal checks, non-local personal checks (with check guarantee card), travelers checks, cashiers checks and money orders are accepted. Make payable to Clatsop Community College.
A $35.00 charge and all collection costs, including court costs, will be charged on returned checks. After the college has received two returned checks, all future payments must be made by cash, credit card, or cashiers check; personal checks will not be accepted. Returned checks of any nature, including NSF and stop payment, do not cancel financial obligations for payment.
- Credit Cards: Discover Card, VISA & Mastercard are accepted.
- Financial Assistance/Scholarship: It is each student's responsibility to ensure their financial aid/scholarship is in place by the payment due date. It is a student's responsibility to attend all classes for which financial aid/scholarship is paying in order to receive funding.
- Alternate Funding Source: It is each student's responsibility to ensure that official payment authorization is received by the Student Account Specialist by the payment due date or late charges will be assessed and/or the account will be sent to collections.
- Installment Payment Plan: Any student may participate in the Deferred Payment Plan, except those noted below.
- Note: The college’s Installment Payment Plan is not available to:
- Students owing less than $100.00.
- Students receiving full funding from financial assistance, scholarships, or alternate source.
- For those who qualify, the following conditions apply:
- Register using your social security number.
- Pay 1/3 down plus a $20.00 nonrefundable service charge by the first Friday of the term to avoid a $50.00 late fee.
- The remaining balance, after down payment, will be divided into two equal installments. The balance due is to be paid monthly by predetermined dates.
- If payment is not made on due date, a late fee of $15.00 per month will be assessed the day after the installment payment is due.
- Any balance remaining on the last day of the term may immediately be referred to a collection agency, the Oregon Department of Revenue, or an attorney for collection. Collection and/or attorney fees will be added to the outstanding balance.
- Any balance due may be deducted from all financial assistance or scholarships awarded to students.
- Students will not be allowed to register for subsequent terms until their account is paid in full.
