During the registration period, your registration statement notice is mailed on the Monday after you register or adjust your schedule as indicated on p. 1. You may also pick up your registration statement at any campus Enrollment Services Office. It is your responsibility for payment by the due date, whether or not a registration statement has been received in the mail. During Final Registration and the Drop/Add Period, registration statements are not mailed. You may pay either on campus or by credit card using Online Services when available. Payment is due by the end of the day you register. What if I do not receive my tuition bill or confirmation notice? You may pick up a copy of your registration statement at any campus Enrollment Services Office. Even if you do not receive your registration statement, you are still responsible for meeting payment deadlines. Possible reasons why you might not receive your tuition bill or confirmation notice: Registration statements are not mailed after July 21, If you have moved and have not notified the college of your new address, your registration statement or confirmation notice may be delayed or returned to the college.

If you did not wait to hear if your registration request was confirmed, there may have been a problem, and Web registration may not have been able to process your request. IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DROP/ADD: If a change in your schedule results in a balance due for a course, that course is subject to deregistration if payment is not received by the due date. (See front inside cover for payment deadlines.) Examples: If you drop a 3-credit class and add a 4-credit class, there will be a balance due for 1 credit. If you exchange one 3-credit class for another 3-credit class and the new class has a course fee, there will be a balance due for the amount of the course fee. If you update your residency to Out-of-District or Out-of-State, there may be a balance due for the difference in tuition rate. 4
