Tuition Payment Deadline
Remember, you have three (3) days, beginning the day after you register for classes, to verify how you plan to pay for your classes. For example, if you register for the upcoming semester on a Monday, you must arrange your tuition payments by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
Students who do not meet this deadline will lose their spot in all registered classes. You will then have to re-register for all of your classes, if they are still open.
In addition, if you have received a financial aid verification hold, you can request a 10-day enrollment hold. This will allow you to hold your registered classes for up to 10 days while you gather final financial aid requirements. Keep in mind that you can only make this request once per semester. Also, please allow up to 48 hours after your materials have been submitted for your financial aid to process and your hold to be released.
Where to find your payment deadline:
You can find your tuition payment arrangement deadline by logging into the student portal at
my.ccc.edu.
Once logged in, you will see a notification in the Alerts/Tasks/Holds section:
Clicking on the words "Payment Deadline Reminder" will take you to the page shown below, where you will see your payment deadline:
If you have received a 10-day financial aid extension due to a financial aid verification hold, your reminder will look similar to the image below:
