Payment Due
All tuition and fees are payable before scheduled deletion dates, or if registration occurs after the deletion date, before the first day of classes. A student may not attend class until financial obligations are resolved. All equipment, library books, and other college-owned property must be returned when due. A student’s academic award (degree, diploma, or certificate) and transcript will not be released until all fees are paid and college-owned property has been returned. A 2.95% convenience fee will be added to each debit or credit card tuition payment transaction. There is no fee for e-check payments.
Payment Methods
The College accepts cash, first-party checks, e-checks, money orders, and cashier’s checks for payment of all fees. Students may also charge fees to American Express, VISA, MasterCard and Discover credit or debit cards. Credit and debit card and e-check payments may be made online via Self-Service. A 2.95% convenience fee will be added to each debit or credit card transaction payment. A $75 late registration fee will be assessed for registration done after scheduled deletion date.
Returned Checks
The College assesses a $25 service fee per occurrence on all checks returned by the bank for any reason. The service fee is in addition to any fee charged by the bank. Checks are not sent to the bank a second time. Dishonored checks are sent to the Magistrate for collection after fourteen days. Students will be placed on restriction from classes for non-payment. Checks will not be accepted from students who have written more than two non-sufficient checks.
Sponsorship
Tuition may be billed to a sponsoring business. This sponsorship must be supported by a letter on company letterhead or a company purchase order and is subject to verification by the College. Sponsorship documentation must be received in the business office for each academic term.
Tuition Payment Plan
Students may apply for a tuition-only payment plan. Students must not have an outstanding debt from a prior term.
Spartanburg Community College’s tuition payment plan requires a $30 non-refundable handling fee in advance, along with the first payment before the scheduled deletion date or the start of class. The remaining balance is payable in two payments on dates determined according to the academic calendar and included in the agreement.
A $50 late fee will be applied for each payment not received by the due date listed on the payment plan agreement signed by the student. The amounts of the payments and due dates of the payments are pre-determined and are not negotiable.
