For credit students, payment should be made by the due date listed on your bill. Late fees will be charged if payment isn’t received by the due date and you could be dropped from classes for nonpayment.

For credit students who are on interest-free payment plans, the amount you put down and the timing/amount of additional payments depend on your situation.

For noncredit students, payment is due at the time of course registration.

It’s common for a third party, such as an employer or college tuition fund, to make payments on a student’s behalf. If you plan to receive third-party assistance, send documentation from the sponsoring organization to the cashier’s office when you register for courses. You’re responsible for any charges not covered by third-party assistance and are subject to fines.

In compliance with the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018 (Title 38 USC 3679(e) Compliance), "the college will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of any late fee, precluding registration or otherwise denying access to classes, libraries or other college facilities, or requiring the student to borrow additional funds, on any student using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Chapter 31) or Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) benefits who has unpaid financial obligations due to any delay in payment or disbursement of funding by the VA."

If you have applied for financial aid by completing the FAFSA and submitting all required paperwork prior to the filing deadline, the financial aid office will put a temporary hold on your account to prevent your classes from being dropped. Your classes may be dropped for nonpayment if you registered late or did not meet the deadlines for filing a FAFSA and submitting required paperwork. Emails from the financial aid office will guide you through the application process. Check your MyAACC email daily for updates.

While going through the financial aid application process, we encourage you to make the required down payment when you register in order to secure your classes. You must submit the required payment by the scheduled due date listed on your bill.

Once your financial aid package is approved and processed, we will update your payment account to reflect any costs still due or reimburse you for any overpayment.

When you register for a course, you assume a financial responsibility. Nonpayment or failure to attend class does not result in an automatic drop from course(s) or the release of financial responsibility. To be eligible for a refund, you must drop the course through MyAACC or submit a drop/add form with the Records and Registration office at records@westridgeparkapartments.com by the refund deadline.

Student bills not paid in full by the due date are considered past-due accounts subject to late fines and collection action. If your account is past-due, it may be turned over to an outside collection agency and you will be held financially responsible for all tuition, fees, penalties, reasonable attorneys' fees and collection costs. In addition, the student will not be able to register for future terms until payment is made in full. Respond promptly to past-due notices. Payment plans are available. Contact the cashier's office at 410-777-2236 for information.

Students are provided a full refund of all tuition and fees when the college cancels a class. Information on canceled off-campus classes is available at the main office of each center.
