Payment Options

Springfield College offers two payment options for students to pay their tuition:

• Students may pay tuition charges less any applicable financial aid in full at the time of registration by personal check or money order.
• The College offers a Partial Payment Plan which extends tuition payments over a four month period. There is a $15.00 fee per semester to utilize the plan. The plan is as follows:

Summer Term	Fall Term	Spring Term
25% at Registration	25% at Registration	25% at Registration
25% May 1	25% Sept. 1	25% Jan. 1
25% June 1	25% Oct. 1	25% Feb. 1
25% July 1	25% Nov. 1	25% Mar. 1

Students within the following categories are required to sign up for the partial payment plan:

A. If a student does not expect to receive Financial aid and cannot pay the tuition charges in full at the time of registration, but can make payments on the above applicable dates, they must sign up for the Partial Payment Plan.

B. If a student has received a financial aid decision letter, the letter must be presented to the staff person handling registration. If the student's awarded financial aid does not cover the entire semester's charges, they must either pay the tuition balance or sign up for the Partial Payment Plan.

C. If a student has NOT met the published admissions and financial aid deadlines, and consequently has not received a financial aid decision letter by the time registration begins, the student must sign up for the Partial Payment Plan option for the full amount of the tuition charges while pending notification of financial aid. The amount of the payments can be adjusted later, when the student receives their financial aid award letter. Please be aware that it is the student's responsibility to contact the Instructional Campus to arrange adjustments.

Non-Payment Policy

For currently enrolled students, non-enrolled students, students who have been separated, dismissed, suspended, expelled, disciplined, withdrawn and/or are on a leave of absence,the College will withhold all official transcripts, access to registration for courses, and the awarding of diplomas to any student whose account is not paid in full when due. A late charge of $50 will be assessed for each month that a payment is past due. The student, and/or the party who is responsible for the payment of the student account, shall be jointly liable to the College for all costs of collection and reasonable attorney's fees incurred. The student is required to make full payment of his/her account prior to the deadline for Commencement (date established by the Registrar's Office). Non-enrolled students, with a balance on their account, will be placed in collections.

Once a student registers for classes, he/she is responsible for the tuition incurred. Not attending classes does not constitute withdrawing or dropping a class. Any changes to a student's course schedule require the approval of an academic advisor.
