Terms of payment

Bills are payable by personal or certified check, money order, or Visa, MasterCard or Discover. Checks should be made payable to CCAD.

Each billing statement contains a card authorization that must be completed and returned to the address indicated on the bill.

If an account must be sent to collection or litigation due to nonpayment of the outstanding balance, the college reserves the right to demand payment in full of subsequent terms of enrollment, prior to the beginning of each term to ensure enrollment.

CCAD is a nonprofit institution of higher learning. As such, student receivable accounts are considered to be educational loans offered for the sole purpose of financing an education and are non-dischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings.

CCAD reserves the right to cancel the registration of any student if a balance due from a previous term remains unpaid at the start of a subsequent term.

Deferred payment plan

Deferred payment plans are available through Tuition Management Systems (TMS) and through CCAD. The plan supplied by TMS is available on a semester or annual basis. The Monthly Payment Option allows students and families to spread out their annual academic expenses over 10, 9, or 8 equal monthly payments with no interest.

When choosing the 10-payment plan option, the 1st payment is due on July 1 with consecutive payments due on the 1st of each month through April.

For the 9 payment option, payments begin August 1 and for 8 payments, they begin in September. The cost for this service is a $65 enrollment fee.

Brochures explaining the plans and application are available in the Student Services Department or by calling Tuition Management Systems toll free at 1-800-722-4867 or www.afford.com.

Reminder: Due to the fact that tuition and mandatory fees and varying lab fees are approved after budgets may be established with Tuition Management Systems, it is extremely important that you look closely at your statement of fees when it is received to be sure that you budget with TMS is enough to cover your semester charges. Please compare your budget to the tuition and fee amounts indicated. Budget adjustments can be made by calling TMS or the Bursar’s Office.

For extenuating circumstances you may apply for a payment plan directly with CCAD. Application for CCAD’S deferred payment plan should be made well in advance of the payment deadline prior to the beginning of each term. For more information, please call 614.222.3295. This plan carries a $40 fee per semester. Please call or write CCAD for further information at the number or address above.

If your tuition and fee account is sent to a collection agency, you will be responsible not only for the tuition and fees that you owe to CCAD, but you will also be responsible for the collection agency costs that you have incurred. Any unpaid debt is considered to be an educational loan.

Bills are mailed to one address

One copy of each statement will be mailed to the address the student lists as his or her “Billing” address. A billing address may be established, changed, or deleted at any time by writing or visiting the Office of Student Services. Due dates cannot be extended because statements have not been received.
