You may pay your tuition and fees with a personal check, cashier's check, Master Card, Visa, and cash.

Fee Payment Information
|
|
Payments of Fees by Check
Do not stop payment on your check even if you drop your course(s). If you stop payment on your check or you do not have sufficient funds to cover your check, you will be charged a $25 fee. The College will also assess a $25 fee for checks returned because an account is closed or because a check was improperly endorsed. Checks returned for insufficient funds will be referred to the State Attorney's Office for collection.
If you pay your student bill with a check written in excess of the amount due and/or with a check drawn on a foreign or out-of-state bank, the check will be processed as authorized by the Vice President for Admin./Chief Financial Officer. First, the College will deposit your check. When your check has cleared, a credit balance will be created on your student account. Once the schedule adjustment period has ended and your bill for the semester is fixed, the College will refund to you any credit balance remaining on your student account.

Credit Card Payments
Students may pay their tuition and fees and purchase books and materials using MasterCard or VISA. |
| Refund of Fees |
Tuition and fees are refunded to students who drop courses during the published registration and adjustment (drop/add) periods. Regular registration and drop/add periods are listed in the Operational Calendar for the current year.
Students enrolled for courses that do not follow a regular term will receive a refund if they drop courses prior to the second class meeting.
Outstanding financial obligations to HCC are deducted from refunds.
Refunds may also be made to students who drop courses due to circumstances found by HCC to be exceptional and beyond the control of students such as serious illnesses, death of an immediate family member, involuntary call to active military duty, or other emergency or extraordinary situations. To receive a refund for such a condition, students must file petitions for refunds and furnish proper documentation of the emergencies. Petition for Refund forms are available in campus counseling offices.
No refunds will be made to students who (1) are administratively withdrawn for disciplinary reasons, (2) are administratively withdrawn (WN) for non-attendance, or (3) withdraw from class after the designated drop and add refund deadline. |
