Tuition and fees are due and payable to Mountwest Community and Technical College in accordance with the due dates shown on any student billing statement, electronic communication, notices posted in the Mountwest Student Services One-Stop area, social media and College website. If the student does not pay tuition and fees on or before the scheduled due date, the student will be withdrawn from all registered courses. Students may re-enroll; however, the College can not guarantee the same course schedule provided on the original registration. A notice of balance due or billing statement may be sent through postal mail, electronically to the student’s Mountwest email address or both. It is the students’ responsibility to know when tuition and fees are due and to make payment by that time.
Student deferred payment plans for tuition and fees will be offered during the academic year; however, all available financial aid for the term must be credited to the student’s account prior to determining the amount available for deferral. Students must speak with a Business Services: Student Accounts representative to sign up for deferred payment plans prior to any official due date.
Students may pay tuition and fees in person or online at myMCTC. Payments of cash, check, and credit cards are accepted at the Business Services: Student Accounts office located within the Student Services One-Stop area. A 2.25% convenience fee may be imposed for payments made by credit card.
A student’s registration is not complete until all tuition and fees are paid. Registration may be cancelled for payments returned as non-sufficient and subject to a $25 penalty.
A student who has a financial obligation to Mountwest cannot engage in any registration activity until the obligation is satisfied or as authorized by the Office of Student Accounts. Any unpaid student obligation may be assigned to a collection agency; if assigned, the student will communicate and pay the collection agency directly.
Tuition and fees will be refunded according to the schedule below.
