Fees and Expenses

Fees are to be paid during registration each semester. No student may be admitted to class without having met his/her financial obligations. All payments are to be made in cash, check or by credit card (VISA or MasterCard and Discover ONLY) for the amount due. If a student's fees are paid by someone other than the student (such as Financial Aid, Vocational Rehabilitation, private scholarship, employer, etc.), the student must confirm their intent to attend the classes that they have registered for. Students may confirm registration online, phone (731-425-2603), or come by Business Services in the Administration Building.

Although all charges are due and payable in full at the beginning of each term, students in good financial standing at Jackson State Community College may request the deferment of up to 50% of their tuition and fees for the fall and/or spring semesters. The deferred payment plan is not available for summer terms. To be eligible for the deferred payment plan, each participant must be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours and be prepared to make a minimum down payment of 50% of the tuition and fees allowed for deferment. All financial aid awarded and disbursed (including loan funds) must be applied toward payment of tuition and fees before a deferment plan will be considered. The amount deferred will be payable in two monthly installments to be determined each semester by the Business Office.
According to the Tennessee Board of Regents` policy of Payment of Fees and Enrollment of Students, if any student pays his/her fees by a check that is later returned for insufficient funds, the student will be considered enrolled and will be assessed the applicable returned check fee and late registration fee. When the Business Office receives a returned check, the student will be notified through one certified letter. The student will be denied grade reports, transcripts and future registration privileges including schedule changes until such dishonored check is redeemed.

There is a $20 fine charged for all returned checks.

Returned checks must be cleared in the Business Office with cash, cashier's check or a money order. All fines, as with any debt to the college, must be paid before re-enrolling for future semesters. Students whose checks repeatedly are returned may be requested to pay all further financial obligations with cash.

The Tennessee Code Annotated, TCA 499-108, states that all colleges and universities of the State College and University System are authorized to issue diplomas, transcripts or grade reports only after the student involved has paid all debts or obligations owed to the college or university including, but not limited to, college bookstores, libraries, food service centers, etc.

As results, no student may re-enroll, graduate, or receive a transcript or grade report until all financial obligations (such as returned checks, drop/add fees, library fines, traffic fines, etc.) are paid.

A check cashing service for up to $15.00 per check is available in the Business Office for currently enrolled student. This service is limited to one check per day.
No checks will be accepted within two weeks before the last day of classes each semester unless the student has a paid fee slip for the next semester.
