and/or spring semester will be charged the flat rate plus the prevailing per-credit
rate times the number of credits over 18 credits. Example: 21 credits for an Allegheny
County resident would cost $1,950 (flat rate) + $390 [$130 (per-credit rate) x 3 (credits
over 18)] = $2,340.

associated with education, including laboratory, technology and student service fees.
$5.40/semester
(full-time students only)
Nonrefundable after start of term
The Capital Fee is assessed to non-Allegheny County residents to support the cost
of facilities and deferred maintenance.
$6.50/credit
This fee is assessed to any student requesting a stop payment and reissue of a student
account refund check and is deducted from the replacement refund. Direct deposit is
available for student account refunds, and if enrollment is completed through the
Online Student Account Center
prior to the processing of a replacement refund, the Check Stop Payment/Reissue Fee
is waived. The fee is nonrefundable once charged to the student account.

for students who have prior knowledge in an academic discipline. The Credit by Examination
Fee is the cost of one academic credit at the current tuition rate and is paid before
the student takes the examination.
25FA  $130/course
(nonrefundable)
The cost of providing health career classes is significantly more than the cost of
providing a general classroom lecture course because health program courses have clinical
and/or laboratory components requiring much lower student-faculty ratios and expensive
laboratory equipment and supplies. The Health Careers Course Fee helps to defray these
additional expenses.
$20/credit
(where applicable)
The Inclusive Access Fee enables required course materials to be provided to students
on or before the first day of class. In most cases, materials are provided digitally
inside the campus learning management system, offering students maximum convenience.
In addition to convenience, these programs improve course material affordability.
The Inclusive Access Fee cost varies by course.
This is a fee attached to most science, art, technology and health courses to defray
some of the exceptional costs of providing the laboratory experiences associated with
these courses. The specific rates are determined by the content of the course.
Fee varies by course where applicable.
Lab Fees effective 25FA
This fee is assessed to any student account not meeting financial clearance (e.g.,
payment in full, enrollment in a tuition payment plan, financial aid coverage or third-party
sponsorship) by the published tuition deadline each semester. Additionally, a monthly
late payment fee will be charged to ANY account balance due
at the time of assessment
that is not covered by a payment plan, financial aid or third-party sponsorship.
$15/per occurrence
(assessed to unpaid accounts after the tuition payment deadline and monthly throughout
the term)

Student Account Billing
By registering for classes or processing a registration transaction, a student becomes
financially responsible for all related
tuition and fee
charges as detailed in the
CCAC Student Financial Responsibility Agreement
. Not attending registered courses does not alleviate a student's financial responsibility.
Adjustment of
tuition and fee
charges for dropped classes will be in accordance with the college's
Drop Refund Policy
Billing of
tuition and fees
to the student account is an automated, electronic process that is driven by a student's
registration transaction. In an effort to be environmentally friendly and maintain
costs, the college no longer distributes paper billing statements by U.S. postal mail. All
student account billing statements are made available electronically through the Online
Student Account Center. Notifications of e-bill statements are issued to the student's
official CCAC academic email. A personal email address may be added to the student
profile within the
Online Student Account Center
Past Due Accounts
A student account is considered past due if an amount remains unpaid after a tuition
payment deadline or tuition payment plan due date. The college has a comprehensive
billing process to collect past due accounts that includes regular billing, late payment
fee assessment, financial holds, precollection activity and professional collection
agency services.
Late Payment fees are assessed monthly on unpaid balances.
A financial hold is placed on a past due account following the drop/add period each
semester. With a financial hold, a student may not register for future classes or
receive official transcripts.
CCAC partners with
ECSI RecoverySelect
, an account management and precollection billing service, to manage past due student
accounts and perform precollection activities. Students will have the option to work
with ECSI to create a special payment arrangement or make a one-time payment to satisfy
the balance. Contact ECSI toll free at
1.844.454.6100
. NOTE: Students who set up special payment arrangements with ECSI RecoverySelect
will continue to have a financial hold on their account until paid in full. With a
financial hold, a student may not register for future classes or receive official
transcripts.
Accounts that remain past due without formal payment arrangements after 90 days are
subject to assignment to the college's designated collection agency. It is the student's
responsibility to work with the assigned collection agency to resolve the balance
owed.
All past due accounts assigned to a collection agency are reported to the national
credit bureau.
CCAC does not settle on accounts; students are responsible for payment of the full
balance.
All financial obligations, including past due student accounts, are considered an
extension of credit, which constitutes an educational loan or educational benefit
that is nondischargeable under Section 523(a)(8) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Tuition Due Dates
By registering for classes, you assume financial responsibility for all related
tuition and fees
. If you choose not to take class(es), you must contact the Registration office to
officially drop class(es) before the first day of the term to avoid being charged.
As you prepare to register, please review the payment information listed below.

Consider Tuition Insurance to Protect Your Investment
We believe it's important to offer an easy, affordable way to protect the investment
your family has made in higher education. That's why CCAC teamed up with GradGuard™
to provide our students and families with tuition insurance featuring special plans
and rates not available to the general public.
This coverage supplements our refund policy by ensuring reimbursement for tuition
and other fees for covered withdrawals at any time during the semester. Plans also
include Student Life Assistance: a 24-hour emergency hotline that offers students
and parents even greater peace of mind.
Plans must be purchased prior to the start of classes each term and enrollment can
be initiated through the Online Student Account Center during the open enrollment
period. Click below to learn more or call
877.794.6603
GradGuard FAQ Document
What is the Claims Process Like?
Claims can be processed at any time. To be eligible for coverage, the event/incident
must occur within the plan's coverage period. GradGuard has a 24/7 hotline that offers
students and families support for any claim or coverage-related inquiries. The claims
process begins by contacting

Tuition Payment Plan
CCAC's Tuition Payment Plan is designed to make the college's quality education even
more accessible and affordable for our students. Our plans help families budget college
expenses by spreading out the cost of
tuition and fees
over smaller monthly installments during the term. Enrollment is available through
the
Online Student Account Center
—and it is fast, secure, convenient and inexpensive!
Fall and spring plans involve a 20% down payment by the published tuition payment
deadline and four additional monthly installments due the 5th of each month thereafter.
Summer plans involve a 33% down payment by the published tuition payment deadline
and two additional monthly installments due the 5th of each month thereafter. Visit
the
Online Student Account Center
for more information and to enroll.
The first payment plan installment is due by the term tuition payment deadline. Additional
installments are due monthly throughout the term on the following dates:

Third-Party Sponsorship
Third-party sponsorship is a billing method by which an entity—such as a company,
corporation or government agency—can establish direct invoicing and payment on behalf
of a student. Payments by third-party sponsors are subject to the same federal reporting
requirements as other financial aid.
CCAC students who are being sponsored by their employer or another agency can participate
in our third-party billing service. Personal sponsors and sponsors that pay based
on the student's grades are not eligible.
The sponsor is required to complete a Third-Party Sponsorship Agreement each semester,
providing a list of all sponsored students and authorizing CCAC to bill directly for
the student's financial obligations. Some sponsors may utilize their own authorization
letter, which is also acceptable, provided it is on the organization's letterhead.
Bursar & Student Account Services reserves the right to review or reject any sponsorship.
Third Party Sponsorship Agreement Form
Military & Veteran Funding
Federal student aid is something to consider in conjunction with your GI Bill
. This can be done by completing a
Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Many students think that this isn't necessary because they have GI Bill
benefits, but there are grants and scholarships available which don't need to be paid
back and don't go against the VA education benefits. Grants are need-based awards
determined by income and cost of living.
Student Account Refunds
In the event your financial aid and/or payments are in excess of
tuition and fee charges
, a refund will be issued. Refunds of approved credit balances are processed within
14 days of the account credit and issued directly to the student. Exceptions may include
parent PLUS loan proceeds and credit balances resulting from a debit/credit card payment,
where these refunds may be issued to the loan or card account holder.
The fastest, safest and most convenient way to receive your refund is through direct
deposit to your bank account. CCAC is proud to offer a fully integrated e-refunds
service made available to all students through the
Online Student Accounts Center
. All students are encouraged to enroll in direct deposit upon their enrollment at
CCAC.
If a student does not enroll in direct deposit, refunds are issued via paper check
and mailed to the address on file with the college at the time of the refund. All
paper checks are processed through ECSI, a third-party service provider.

1098-T Tax Information
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (TRA-97) introduced several educational tax incentives
in an effort to make college more affordable. The American Opportunity Credit and
Lifetime Learning Credit provide a potential opportunity to take a tax credit for
qualifying higher education expenses. TRA-97 also provides a deduction for the interest
paid on qualifying student loans. As part of TRA-97 and in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code, the college is required to furnish students with IRS Form 1098-T. In
compliance with IRS regulations, 1098-T forms are issued to students by January 31
of each year.
In compliance with institutional reporting requirements under federal law, CCAC reports
the total amount of payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses from
all sources during the calendar year. In addition, we also report the total amount
of any scholarships or grants for the same time period—which includes all payments
received from third parties, including governmental and private entities.
It is important to note that the Community College of Allegheny County cannot provide
tax advice. The information provided regarding educational tax incentives is based
on the college's interpretation of the IRS guidelines and should not be considered
tax advice. If you have questions regarding educational tax incentives or your eligibility,
you should consult with a qualified tax professional or contact the IRS Taxpayer Assistance
line at 1-800-829-1040.
