The policy of Union County College is payment is due upon registration. Therefore all tuition, fees, and other related costs should be paid at the Office of Student Accounts on the day registration takes place. Payment should be accompanied by the appropriate forms supplied by the college. Students who do not settle their accounts will have their schedules voided.  A $40 re-registration fee is assessed to all students who register after being voided for non-payment.

The College accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Discover in addition to cash, checks, and money orders. For credit card payments, where the cardholder is someone other than the student, written authorization must be provided by the cardholder authorizing the student to use the card for payment to Union County College. The College reserves the right to request cash payment when circumstances so warrant. 

The College offers a Deferred Payment Plan to students enrolled in six or more credits during Fall and Spring semesters. Details about the plan are available at the Office of Student Accounts.

Students who are approved for financial aid may be able to apply their awards towards their tuition and fee charges.  However, financial aid may not cover the entire cost of attending College leaving a balance to be paid by the student the day registration takes place.  If financial aid is reduced or cancelled for any reason the student will be responsible for making payment to the College.

All student accounts with outstanding balances will be accessed a $35 monthly late fee until the balance is paid in full. Obligations from prior semesters must be paid in cash, certified check or money order. Grades, transcripts, and letters of recommendation will not be released until all financial obligations to the College have been cleared.

Students who fail to pay their outstanding balance may be turned over to a collection agency and will be responsible for the added cost of collection, court costs, and legal fees. The cost of collection can add as much as 35% to 40% to the amount that you already owe and will result in the disruption of your credit worthiness when the collection agency reports the delinquent account to national credit bureaus.

The College reserves the right to revise its policies and charges at any time if circumstances so warrant.
