Change of Program Fee
When you wish to change your program, you are charged $18.00 for each Change of Program Form processed, even if you are a financial aid recipient. For example, if you drop two courses and add a course at the same time, you pay $18.00, even though three transactions were made. However, if you decide at a later date to make additional program changes, you must complete another Change of Program Form and pay an additional $18.00 fee. The following actions initiated by a student require a program change fee.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees may be paid by cash, check, or money order. When you pay your tuition and fees by cash, please be sure that you receive a computerized receipt. It is your only proof that you have made payment.
Checks and money orders should be made payable to “BMCC”. Students whose checks are returned by their bank will be subject to a $20 reprocessing fee and will be required to make all subsequent payments by cash or certified check. Students settling a prior semester balance to obtain clearance for registration, transcripts or readmission must make payment via cash or certified check.
Online payments may be made with e-check. Credit cards are not accepted.
If you do not make full payment on your tuition and fees and other college bills and your account is sent to a collection agency, you will be responsible for all collection costs, including agency fees, attorney fees and court costs, in addition to whatever amounts you owe the College. In addition, non-payment or a default judgment against your account may be reported to a credit bureau and reflected in your credit report.
Non-Instructional Fees (Non-Refundable)
*Students paying by cash or money order will have their transcripts of academic record sent within one week. Those paying by personal check will have their transcript requests held for ten business days in order for the check to clear.
