Methods of Payment

Each term the official payment due dates are published in the current class schedule. Payment in full or approved alternative payment arrangements listed below need to be in place by the due date. Your amount due is available on the MyCCA portal after you register for classes. You are responsible for knowing your amount due and making payment.

1. Start a Payment Plan
   If you are unable to pay in full by the posted Drop for Non-Payment deadline, you will need to set up a payment plan to avoid being dropped and having a Finance Hold placed on your account. NBS/Nelnet payment plans are available for all students through MyCCA. Use of an NBS/Nelnet payment plan includes an enrollment fee, currently $33 per semester and subject to change. Payments can be made by checking/savings account, Visa/MasterCard, or Discover. Please visit the payment plan for more information.
2. Prefer to Pay in Full?
   Students who want to pay all at once instead of creating a payment plan can pay online or in person.

5. Third Party Sponsorship: Third party sponsor students are students who have their tuition paid for by a third party, such as an employer, a high school or another agency. A Third Party Authorization Letter must be received by the Cashier’s Office each semester. All Third Party Authorization Letters must include the following:
   • Name and Contact Information for the Third Party Sponsor
   • Name of Student and which term is to be paid
   • Approval of total amount of tuition and fees the sponsor will pay
   • A FERPA Release Form signed by the student

   For more information, visit  the CCA Financial Aid page. 

6. Financial Aid: Once you have applied for financial aid, it can take several weeks to process your award. While your financial aid award is being processed, set up a Payment Plan. If the student has enough financial aid award to cover full tuition and fees, they will not be subject to the Drop for Non-Payment. Award amounts are subject to adjust to reflect the updated enrollment status; if enrollment changes after aid is disbursed, this may result in additional financial obligations.
