Ways to Pay
These are the types of payment PCC accepts. You must have one of these payment arrangements in place by the payment due date or your course registrations may be deleted. If you are unable to attend, it is up to you to drop the course. Find out how to drop a
class.
Payment in Full- You can pay your bill by the payment due date. The college does not accept partial payments.
- Online using PCC-Pay in MyPCC: echeck, debit card, or credit card (Visa & MasterCard).
- In-person at any business office: cash, check, debit card, or credit card (Visa & MasterCard).
- By mail. Send checks and money orders payable to the PCC business office.
- International Wire Transfers must be sent through peerTransfer.
Payment Plan- Our interest-free payment plans are a smart way to pay college costs. Payment plans allow you to spread the cost of your education into affordable monthly or bi-weekly payments. Sign up for payment plans on the Paying for College tab in MyPCC.
Financial Aid- Financial aid is available to help with college costs, including tuition and books. You can check your status in the Financial Aid Dashboard in MyPCC. Be sure to review and accept your award by the payment due date, or choose another way to pay.
Chapter 33 Veterans Benefits- Veterans are entitled to assistance with their college expenses. Funds are also available for spouses and dependents. You will need to apply to the Veterans Administration and certify your schedule with PCC Veterans Services. (Tuition assistance programs such as Voc Rehab, Go Army, MyCAA, etc., are handled through third party billing.)
Third Party Billing- Many employers and agencies assist students with college costs. To have your bill paid by a third party, formal billing arrangements must be set up and approved by the college before the term begins.
Scholarships- The PCC Foundation and numerous other foundations and private donors provide scholarships to PCC students. If you are one of the fortunate recipients, your donor will send us a check and tell us what the scholarship covers.
AmeriCorps Vouchers - AmeriCorps is a program that provides tuition vouchers for volunteers in service to America. To redeem your AmeriCorps vouchers, you will need to request funds via the AmeriCorps online process.
Grant Funded Programs - Some college programs offer tuition assistance as a benefit of participation. If you are in a college program that pays your tuition, it's up to you to ensure all requirements for your program have been met. Many grants only pay a portion of your costs and you will need to pay the difference by the payment due date.
Payment Restrictions
There may be charges on your account that are not covered by some types of payment. It's up to you to make sure your account is paid in full, even if someone else is paying your bill.

- Checks drawn on bank accounts outside of the U.S.A.
- Two-party, post-dated and altered checks.
- Payments in excess of the student's account balance.
- Payments by wire and ACH unless they have been pre-arranged with the accounts receivable office.
- Payments for less than the full amount due.
Returned Payments
- A $15 returned item fee is assessed for any type of returned payment applied to your account, whether paid by you or another party.
- Any payment that is returned unpaid will be resubmitted within 14 days whenever possible.
