Billing and Payment

Students are required to respond to their bills even if payment is covered by financial aid or another source. Non-response to a bill will result in cancellation of the student's registration.

Semester Bills

Bills for the fall and spring semesters are mailed to the student's home address on file in the Registrar's office. Fall semester bills are mailed in mid-July and are due in mid-August. Spring semester bills are mailed in mid-December and are due in early January. Students who register after the bills are mailed are given their bill upon registration. Students who register after the bill due dates are expected to pay upon registration.

Installment Plan

To assist students in paying their bills, the college offers a Three Installment Payment Plan (TIPP). The plan requires a co-maker and a non-refundable $30 application fee. Application forms are available in the Student Billing office.

Payment Procedures

Payment for the fall and spring semesters is due as indicated on the student's bill. Payments not received by the due date are subject to a $50 late fee. Payment for summer courses is due at the time of registration.

Paying the Bill

The college accepts cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express. Payment may be made at the Student Billing office on the main campus in Pittsfield. Payment may also be made by mail or telephone 24 hours a day (236-3042).
