Students receiving Financial Aid may deduct expected aid from their tuition and fee charges.

• Students receiving Financial Aid may deduct expected aid from their tuition and fee charges.
• If any amount is due, pay by the payment deadline.
• Be sure to log in to MyMC and visit Financial Aid to review your expected financial aid, including any Montgomery College scholarships. In MyMC, go to View Account Balance to review your total charges. These tools should help you calculate any balance you may owe to Montgomery College after any expected financial aid is awarded on your account.
• If we have your FAFSA on file and you have submitted all required documents, you will be able to submit the Class Reservation form in MyMC to protect your course registrations from being dropped for nonpayment.
• If for any reason the student does not receive the expected financial aid, the student is responsible for all charges on their student account.
• To learn more about available scholarships, please visit MC Grants and Scholarships.

Spread your payments out over time with an interest-free installment plan.

By enrolling in the interest-free MC Tuition Installment Plan (TIP), you can use a debit/credit account to make automatic payments and spread your payments over time.

MC TIP allows students to pay their tuition in several payments. Each term is independent and must be enrolled in separately. 

• You must enroll in a TIP by the payment deadline.
• The payment due dates for your TIP are fixed and cannot be changed.
• You should carefully read your agreement when you sign up for a TIP plan so that you understand your obligations under the plan.
• INSTALLMENT AMOUNTS MAY CHANGE over time to account for any new charges, payments, or financial aid adjustments.

**Please Note: Tuition Installment Plans are designed to assist you with payment of current term balances. Payment plans for a prior balance are limited to the semester just prior to your current term i.e. you can set up a prior payment plan in spring for the prior fall term.

Important note for financial aid applicants: If you sign up for a TIP, your plan will adjust when your aid is applied to your account. If your aid is applied and you are due a refund based on payments already made, you will be issued a refund.

• For summer terms, the non-refundable enrollment fee is $20.00 per term.
• For fall and spring terms, the non-refundable enrollment fee is $35.00 per term.

The number of payments in a plan vary. Always check the charts below for payment schedules. Typical plans have two to four scheduled payments. Summer plans typically have two scheduled payments. Full term (spring and fall) plans typically have three to four scheduled payments. Payment schedules include a down payment due at the time of enrollment in the TIP and one or more follow-up payments later in the term depending on the plan.

To view and enroll in the MC TIP to pay for credit courses only, log in to MyMC and click on Pay My Bill. 

If you are enrolled in both credit and WDCE courses, do not enroll in a TIP online. You must go to the Cashier’s Office to enroll in a payment plan. If you are enrolled in noncredit (WDCE) courses only, visit the Workforce Development & Continuing Education (WDCE) TIP page for more information in enrolling in a payment plan. 

Sponsor Billing: Payment by employer, military or other agencies.
Information for those receiving assistance with tuition and fees from an employer or other agency.

Sponsor Billing allows an employer or other entity to submit an authorization which states that they will pay for all, or some, of a student’s tuition and fees. When the Sponsor Billing office receives an authorization form (PDF, ) ,  they can invoice the employer/agency for the authorized charges. 

Sponsor Billing Alternative:  "Authorized User." As an alternative to the Sponsor Billing, a student can add an Authorized User to a student account.  A student can give others (parents, employers, etc.) the ability to access their account information by giving their consent.  See Authorized Users below for more information.

Please note: Authorized users DO NOT have access to a student’s stored payment methods, academic records, or other personal information.

How Does Sponsor Billing Work?
Students, employers and other agencies must follow specific guidelines and timeframes in order to use the Sponsor Billing service.  Please read both the student and employer/agency sections below to understand the requirements for using the Sponsor Billing service.

Financial Responsibility:  If you are using our Sponsor Billing service, or have given Authorized User status to an individual, or other entity, you are not relieved of your financial responsibility should they fail to pay. In the event that such a sponsor or authorized payor fails to pay your tuition and fees, Montgomery College reserves the right to bill you for any outstanding balance. 

How to Submit Authorizations: Sponsor authorizations should be submitted by email to sponsorbilling@montgomerycollege.edu.

Authorized Users

You may add an authorized user, including an employer, to your account by going to the “My Profile Setup” menu in your MyMC account and choosing “Authorized Users” then “Add Authorized User” as shown in the screen shot below.

Detailed instructions to add an authorized user to your MyMC account (PDF, )

We will send an e-mail notification to the student’s official College e-mail account when an e-bill is available for viewing.

Please Note the Following:  

• Per college policy, your account balance is due at the time you register for classes.
• If you have not paid in full at the time of registration, you must have a payment arrangement in place.  Types of payment arrangements are listed below.  
  • Enrollment in a Tuition Installment Plan (TIP) at the time of registration
  • Financial Aid – Complete your financial aid application by the priority deadline of March 1* for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester to ensure your financial aid award is approved, accepted, and applied to your account before classes start. Contact Financial Aid
  • Sponsorship – Students, employers and other agencies must follow specific guidelines and timeframes in order to use the Sponsor Billing service. Sponsor Billing Guidelines 
• You will receive a bill if you have an outstanding balance.
• Even if you have a payment arrangement i.e., you are enrolled in a TIP plan, have financial aid or are being sponsored, you may still receive a bill. 
  • When you have a payment arrangement but receive a bill, you should review your account, TIP plan, financial aid or sponsor agreement to ensure everything is correct but in general if you have a payment arrangement in place, you may consider the bill you receive as simply a statement of your account.

Billing basics

• If you have an outstanding balance with the college, you will first receive E-bills which are sent to your  MyMC email address.  
  • The standard number of E-bills is 3 but some students may receive more.
• If payment is not made based upon the E-bills, you will receive paper bills which are sent to your official Montgomery College address.  Always keep your address up to date.
  • The standard and required number of paper bills is 3 but some students may receive more.
• The third paper bill is your official final notice that payment is due.
• When three paper notices have been sent for outstanding balances, no further bills are required to be sent.  
• Once a third & final paper bill has been sent, outstanding balances are subject to collections.  
  • For additional information about Accounts in Collection and the possible impact of non-payment, review Accounts in Collection page
• The billing statement you receive reflects your account balance at the exact time the statement was created.  
• If you have outstanding balances, the billing statement you receive may be from multiple terms and include future terms in which you are enrolled.

The student is ultimately financially responsible for the tuition and fees that they incur while attending Montgomery College.  If a student is expecting their tuition and fees to be paid by financial aid, an employer, a sponsor, or a family member, they need to monitor their account to be sure payment is made.  If for some reason financial aid, an employer, a sponsor, or family member does not pay the tuition and fees the student is responsible for payment.

• You should make it a regular practice to review your Student Account page so that you are aware of any financial responsibilities.  

If you would like someone else to be able to view, or pay, your bill on your behalf, you can add authorized users in the Pay My Bill area of MyMC new window. 

• If you are having issues accessing your MyMC account or email please contact the IT Service Desk at 240-567-7222 or itservicedesk@montgomerycollege.edu.

If tuition and fees have not been paid, and an outstanding balance exists and remains unpaid, there is a risk of being sent to collections.

The student is ultimately financially responsible for the tuition and fees that they incur while attending Montgomery College.  If a student is expecting their tuition and fees to be paid by financial aid, an employer, a sponsor, or a family member, they need to monitor their account to be sure payment is made.  If for some reason financial aid, an employer, a sponsor, or family member does not pay the tuition and fees the student is responsible for payment.

If you have an outstanding balance with the college, your balance will be viewable in MyMC new window and you will receive courtesy eBills which are sent to your official college email address.  Courtesy eBills will be sent prior to the three final paper bills which are mailed to your official student mailing address as documented by the Office of Records and Registration.  

If you do not pay based on the bills sent to you, and an outstanding balance exists and remains unpaid, there is a risk of being sent to collections.  When Montgomery College sends a student to collections, the ownership of the debt is transferred to the State of Maryland Central Collections Unit (CCU) and the student must work with the CCU to resolve the debt.

• Students whose accounts have been sent to the State of Maryland Central Collections Unit (CCU) must make their payments directly to the CCU.
• • If your account is in collection, you can contact the CCU at 1-888-248-0345 for assistance with making payments or setting up a payment plan. 

• If your account is in collections, you will not have access to Montgomery College services such as; registration until the balance has been paid in full.
• It can take up to 6 weeks for CCU to notify Montgomery College of payment.  
  • We must receive notification of payment prior to posting the payment to your Montgomery College student account.  Official notification is not sent to Montgomery College by the CCU until the month following your payment.
• If you have made payment in full to CCU and wish to confirm payment at the earliest opportunity, please email collections@montgomerycollege.edu 48 hours after your payment has been made and the collections specialist will review your account and respond to you at the earliest opportunity confirming receipt of your payment to the CCU. Response times will vary and are not immediate due to the large volume of inquiries.
• Once full payment has been verified by Montgomery College, any holds which prevent access to services can be lifted within 72 hours.   
• Your CCU payment will be posted to your student account when we receive official notification of payment from the CCU which we receive the following month as noted above.
