Deliquent Accounts / Violation of Payment Deadlines

Any balance remaining after payment deadlines published in this schedule (but before classes are removed from the system) will cause a $30 non-refundable deferment fee to be assessed to the student’s account. Failure to honor your payment plan dates or not paying any balance in full by the end of the term may result in your account being placed with a collection agency. Students will be responsible for all fees associated with placement. Holds that restrict registration, viewing of grades, and/or graduation will be placed on all accounts with a balance remaining after the last scheduled payment date.

Waiver of Tuition

Students may receive a waiver of base tuition and applicable fees if they are active National Guard members, New Orleans police officers or fire fighters, dependents of a disabled or deceased in the line of duty police officer, firefighter or military personnel, or full-time students cross-enrolled from UNO, SUNO, SLU, NCC.

Senior Citizens: Tuition is waived for Louisiana residents 60 years and over for one three-credit-hour course each semester (no auditing or non-credit). Students pay a non-refundable $25 application fee and all other assessed fees.

Adjustment of Tuition and Fees

For students reducing their credit hours or officially withdrawing from the College, all or a portion of their refundable tuition and fees may be credited to their account according to a tuition adjustment schedule published each semester in the Student Handbook. Students must complete the drop / withdrawal process before the posted deadlines to qualify for a reduction in amounts owed.

Nonattendance does not constitute withdrawal. Students who have classes secured through any means, including pending financial aid, must withdraw from the College if they decide not to attend. Students with secured classes may have a financial obligation to the College if they do not withdraw, even if they never attend. If a credit balance remains after all tuition and fees due are deducted from any payments that have been applied, the balance will be returned to the student automatically.
