Financial Obligations
If you register for classes, the University holds you financially responsible for that registration.
Even if you do not receive a bill, you must pay your tuition and fees by the published deadline. If you register between April 10 and September 1 and do not pay, you may be dropped from your courses. There will not be a University initiated drop for non-payment for students registering after September 1.
If you do not plan to attend, you must drop your courses within the 100% refund period to avoid assessment of tuition and fees. Please be aware of the separate refund policy that applies to non-credit, CEU, and self-support courses.
Past due accounts will be sent to a collection agency and assessed collection costs.
Failure to meet financial obligations
University policy requires a financial hold be placed on your record if you fail to meet your financial obligations. This hold will prevent any enrollment, transcript or graduation activity. Past due accounts will be turned over to a collection agency. Interest, late fees, or collection costs will be added to your account. The past due debt will be reported to a local credit bureau.
Agency sponsored students:
All students who are sponsored by an Agency (WIA, DVR, VA, etc.) must contact their agency for details on how to obtain funding and the procedures required to register for classes. This must be done for each semester that they wish to register for. Agency sponsored students are required to have all appropriate paperwork processed through Mat-Su College Accounting located in the Bookstore by the payment deadline. If the appropriate paperwork has not been received by the payment deadline, the student may be dropped from their classes.
Financial aid deferred tuition and fees:
If you have proof of approved financial aid you may obtain an MSC deferment form from the Financial Aid office. This deferment form must be turned in to the cashier by the payment deadline.
Tuition Management System (TMS):
TMS is an organization that handles tuition and fees in monthly payments for colleges and universities. There is an initial enrollment fee for semester or annual registration.
For more information call 745-9739 option 3 or see the MSC Accounts Receivable Supervisor in the Bookstore (JKB 109). Or call TMS at 800-722-4867.

Refund Policy

You may not withdraw from a class after the withdrawal date published the academic calendar. Please allow 4 – 5 weeks for processing your refund.
