Payment Plan
All credit students whose financial accounts with the College are up-to-date can participate in an interest-free payment plan. You are on the payment plan by paying at least 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.  New Payment Plan for Winter.  See Important Links to the left.

There are a few select noncredit courses available for an outsourced payment plan. For information regarding the selected courses and the outsourced payment plan, go to Continuing Education Payment Plan or call 410-777-2325. 

Third Party Payment
If you will receive third-party assistance, supporting documentation should be submitted at the time of registration. Failure to submit documentation promptly will result in cancellation of registered class. You are responsible for any charges not covered by the third-party assistance. Payments are due by the due dates on the bill. Direct questions to Cashier's Office, 410-777-2236.

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.

If you have received a federal grant or loan assistance and drop or withdraw from classes, a portion of the funds may be owed back to the Federal Program. For details call Financial Aid, 410-777-2203.

Senior Citizen Tuition Waivers
The tuition portion only of credit classes for Maryland residents age 60 and older by the first day of the credit term is automatically waived. Disabled/Retired students taking credit classes (not available for non-credit), 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.  In both cases the student must pay all related fees by the due dates, including the initial payment amount to avoid drop for non-payment. New rules for the SSI waiver are implemented as of October 1, 2011 and are detailed by clicking on the Social Security link above.

There are some non-credit classes that are tuition waived for seniors. Those not senior waived are designated by a daggar symbol next to the cost of the class. For these classes the student must pay the full charge for the class.

NEW INFORMATION: Please note that due to recent changes in Maryland law, the Social Security waiver can no longer be used for noncredit classes. Contact Cashier's Office for details, 410-777-2236.
