Our goal is to help guide students along their financial path with attending Clarkson College.

We strive to help students understand their Tuition/Fee charges, On-line Tuition payments, Electronic Refunds, Billing statements and Campus Housing charges (if applicable). 

Statement of Financial Responsibility

All students are required to sign a Statement of Financial Responsibility. This process is completed prior allowing students to register for semester courses. This Statement outlines the student’s financial obligations to the College and serves as the student’s acknowledgement of Clarkson College policies related to responsibility of payment for tuition, fees and Campus housing (if applicable), as well as important information related to Federal Financial Aid.

Clarkson College Certification of Financial Responsibility for International Students

International Students new to Clarkson College who require an F-1 Visa must complete the Clarkson College Certification of Financial Responsibility.  This must be sent to the Student Accounts office one month prior to enrollment. Submit via email to Student Accounts at studentaccounts@clarksoncollege.edu .

International Students new to Clarkson College not utilizing an F-1 Visa or not qualified to receive financial aid must only complete Section IV of the Clarkson College Certification of Financial Responsibility. 

International students are required to make advance payment for all tuition, fees and on-campus housing (if applicable) each semester in which the student is enrolled. The student’s payment must be received by the Student Accounts office by the fourth day of the semester. If the student’s account is not paid in full by the fourth day of the semester, the student will be dropped from all courses on the fifth day of the semester.

Clarkson College accepts direct payment only. Third party billing or alternative payment arrangements are not available to international students.

Clarkson College accepts full payments by cash in U.S. dollars, electronic check, credit/debit card (VISA, Mastercard, Discover and American Express) and U.S. Postal Service money order. Please note any international credit/debit cards have a 4.25% processing fee. 

Student Account Payments

Upon registering for classes, students become financially responsible for all tuition, fees and campus housing charges (if applicable). Student account balances must be paid in full or a student must be enrolled in an installment plan, prior to the Tuition & Fee due date. It is the student’s responsibility to make appropriate payment arrangements and payments on time. Failure to comply with this payment policy may result in a withdraw from all classes.  Late payment fees and Business Office hold will prevent future registration and the ability to receive official transcripts. 

Clarkson College accepts cash, check, electronic check, credit/debit card, money order and cashier’s check for payment of tuition, fees and campus housing charges. Payments made with cash, check, money order or cashier's check can be made in person or by mail.  Payments using a credit/debit card or electronic check are made through the students MyCC (TransAct) account. Personal checks returned due to insufficient funds or a closed account will be charged a processing fee to the students account. If a students check is returned, the student may be required to make subsequent payments to Clarkson College with cash, money order or a cashier’s check only.

Tuition Billing Statements

Billing statements for tuition, fees and campus housing (if applicable) are available online through MyCC.  It is the student’s responsibility to view his/her billing statement and submit payment by the tuition and fees payment due date. Our office does not mail statements .

Installment Payment Plan

An Installment Plan is offered through the student's Transact account. This plan allows students to pay tuition, fees and housing (if applicable) in equal installments. The student must enroll through their Self Service account. The deadline to enroll in the installment plan is one business day prior to the tuition and fees payment due date. A fee for participating in the Installment Plan must be paid at the time of enrollment. Students enrolled in the Installment Plan who do not make payments on time will be withdrawn from the plan and a Business Office hold will be placed on their account.

Tuition Refund Policy

Fees are non-refundable after the first week of the semester. To receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees for traditional 15 or 12 week courses, the official Change of Registration/Leave of Absence/Withdraw form must be completed and received by the Registrar’s office before end of day on the seventh business day of the session. Tuition refund schedules are available on the Clarkson College website. A change of registration fee will be assessed to the student’s account for any change in registration beginning the second week of the session.

It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the tuition refund policy and to pay any remaining balance once the withdrawal has been processed. Refunds are calculated based on the date the completed paperwork is received by the Registrar.

Note: It is strongly recommended that students who are recipients of financial aid consult with their Financial Aid counselor prior to withdrawing from any courses. A change in credit hour enrollment may result in the return of financial funds to the source from which they originated (i.e. the U.S. Department of Education, the student loan lender or agency). Returned funds may result in a student balance owed to the college.
