Payment of the College Bill

All charges and credits from FTC Cuddebackville’s offices are aggregated in a student’s financial account and presented on the College bill.

The Office of Financial Services, which is responsible for managing FTC Cuddebackville’s billing, collecting, refunding, and cashiering functions, sends the College bill to students one month before the start of each semester. For accounts with a balance due, a second bill is sent one month after the start of the semester.

The tuition and fees are due and must be received by 5:00 p.m. the day before the new semester begins. They may be paid by mail or in person at the Office of Financial Services. Students receiving financial aid must apply the aid received to the unpaid balance at the time the financial aid is posted and no later than the due date.

Payment may be made by personal check, cashier’s check, money order, travelers’ check, cash, or electronic funds transfer, or charged to a credit card for the exact amount due.

A monthly $30 late payment fee is applied for charges not paid by the deadline. A one-percent interest charge will be assessed monthly on all past-due accounts.

Tuition Refund Policy

Students who drop or withdraw from course(s) while in good standing may be eligible to receive a refund of tuition in accordance with the tuition refund schedules in Tables 3.5 and 3.6. Fees are generally not refundable. Students dismissed from FTC Cuddebackville for disciplinary reasons or who are administratively withdrawn from the College are not eligible for a tuition refund.

The student must submit a completed Course Registration Add/Drop Form to the Office of Admissions and Records and request a tuition refund from the Office of Financial Services. The amount of the refund will depend on the date of the student’s official cancellation of course(s). The amount refundable plus any overpayment of fees or financial aid awards in excess of fees is presented on the College bill. Refunds are processed routinely throughout the semester.
