College Approved Financial Arrangements
You are responsible for the timely payment of any charges not covered by your financial arrangements. All financial arrangements must be college-approved and in place before the term begins. If delayed, please plan to pay the full term charges by the payment due date.
Financial Aid
lf you have received and returned your award letter, financial aid will be posted to your PCC student account beginning the third week of the term. If your award exceeds your account balance, you will receive a refund. If your award is not enough to cover all term charges, you must pay the difference by the second Friday of the term. If your aid is delayed, you will need to pay by this date. Any excess payment will be refunded after the award has been posted to your account.
Don't wait in line! Sign up for FA Direct to have your financial aid deposited directly into your personal bank account. For most students, FA Direct is the fastest way to receive a refund. However, refunds are also available through the business office or by mail for those who prefer to wait.
Third Party Billing
Allow a financial sponsor or employer help you pay for your education. Your sponsor will provide a billing authorization to you or to the college. More details area available on the Third Party Billing Arrangements page.
Agency or Company Sponsorship
Arrange for third party billing of tuition and fees before you enroll. Once arrangements have been made, take your completed billing authorization to the business office, or fax it to 503-533-2878 before the term begins.
- A $5 service fee will be charged to your account for each billing sent.
- A $10 service fee will be charged for international or special handling requests.
Important! Proper authorization to bill must be received by the payment due date. Authorizations will not be accepted after the 4th week of term. It is up to you to contact your sponsor if the authorization has not been provided. You are also responsible for payment of any unpaid charges and late payment penalties.
You must register for all classes, including wait-listed, open-entry and late-starting classes by the fourth week of the term. The college will not bill any additional charges after that date.
Additional information designed for third party sponsors is provided in this document.
