 During registration every student is informed of the total amount of fees.  APPROVED financial aid is deducted from the total and the student is informed of the balance. Students having overdue accounts must pay their balance before registering for another semester.   Students not having overdue accounts can pay their fees in full at registration, or fee payments can be made with certain MINIMUM down payments, described below.  Students not prepared to make minimum payments must obtain administrative credit approval to complete registration. Any student seeking administrative credit approval must bring their registration forms to the Business Office and receive a Special Fee Payment Agreement Form to take to the designated administrator.  The Business Office will retain the registration forms and complete certain parts of the Special Fee Payment Agreement Form for the student.  The student must return the approved form to the Business Office after meeting with the designated administrator. All first time students, including MSVCC students, must pay the required registration fee regardless of financial aid.  Registration fees are non-refundable and escalate based on the date that registration is completed.
