Payment Plan
All credit students whose financial accounts with the college are up-to-date are eligible to participate in an interest-free payment plan. You are enrolled by paying the minimum amount due shown on your bill at the time of registration. Click on the appropriate term in the Important Links section to the left for term due date information. For your convenience, you may wish to enroll in the Automatic Payment Plan ^PDF option. Call Cashier's Office on 410-777-2236 for details. No payment plan exists for the Winter term; payment is due in full at time of registration. 

Students Receiving Financial Aid
If your financial aid is not enough to pay your tuition and fees, you must pay the balance of the amount not covered by the due dates on your bill.

Senior Citizen Tuition Waivers
The tuition portion only of credit classes for Maryland residents age 60 and older by the first day of the term is automatically waived. The student must pay all related fees by the due dates. Disabled/Retired students, under age 60 by the first day of the term, can have the tuition portion manually waived by submitting a Social Security Certification Form for Tuition Waiver ^PDF. The form is valid for one year and must be submitted with the Original Signature and Stamp of a Social Security Official.  Please note that some classes (denoted by a dagger symbol) in the non-credit schedule of classes are not eligible for this waiver.  

Refunds
When you register for classes you assume a financial responsibility for them. To cancel this responsibility, you must officially drop the class by the drop date. See schedule of classes for dates.

If you are entitled to a refund in accordance with the refund policy in the college catalog your refund will be issued about 15 days after the drop date. If 100% of your total payments were received via credit card, and the charges were made within the past 90 days, the college may credit your refund directly to the original credit card used to make payment. Call Cashier's Office for details.

File a drop/add form with the Registration office or drop by STARS, 410-777-2241, or on MyAACC. If you don’t formally drop the classes, you will continue to be financially responsible for them and will receive a failing grade. Classes dropped on or before the drop date are eligible for a refund of tuition and related fees.  

For shorter academic terms, the refund period will be prorated. Refunds will not occur immediately when a class is dropped but will be issued about 15 days after the end of the drop period.

For noncredit courses, no refund will be given after the class has started.
