To hold your courses and avoid being dropped for nonpayment, you must make one of the tuition payment arrangements featured below (pay in full, enroll in payment plan, or provide a verified source) within one week of your registration.
Example – register on Monday, April 4 then payment arrangement would be due by end of the day (11:59 p.m.) on the next Monday, April 11.
If you register less than a week before your class begins, you are responsible for related tuition and fees.
Students are responsible for manually dropping from class(es) by the Registration, Refund & Withdrawal Dates.
Full Payment
Tuition and fees total less than $200 require full payment.
Payment Plan
Space your payments out over time with an interest-free payment plan. Pay a little upfront, a little each month, and the $25 nonrefundable set-up fee, and your account will be paid off in time to register for the next semester! Remember, the earlier you register, the smaller your payments!
Verified Sources
When your tuition and fees are being paid for by another organization or entity, that organization or entity is referred to as a verified source. Common verified sources include:
- Financial Aid
- Scholarships (Waubonsee and others)
- Veterans Benefits
- Employers/Third Party
Learn more about these verified sources, how to use them and how to check their status on your account.

Scholarship Impact Stories
"There will always be a million excuses why you shouldn't pursue your dream. For me most were related to money."

Past Due Debt Standard
In compliance with the 110 ILCS 66 Student Debt Assistance Act, the college does not withhold or deny access to transcripts (both official and unofficial), grades, or diplomas if a student owes a debt or has a financial-based obligation with the college.
Holds preventing registration may be applied to student records if there's a past due balance of any amount, if college equipment has not been returned, or if other financial-based obligations have not been met. These holds may be active until the amount owed has been paid, equipment has been returned to the college, or other financial-based obligations have been met according to the college's procedures.
The college may report debt owed to a third-party collection agency if the amount is greater than $100.00 and 60 days has passed from the end of the semester.
