A student account is simply the charges and payments related to a student's
registration. A student bill or invoice is a summary of a student's account.

When will I get my student bill?

based upon their registration. Billing for Fall semester will begin in
early July for students who have pre-registered. Billing for Spring semester
will begin in mid-November for students who have pre-registered.
Q: What are the payment deadlines for
each semester?
A:

mid-December. After the semester payment deadlines, all payments are due
at the time of registration.
For Summer and Jan Plan semesters, all payments
are due at the time of registration.

Q:
Why do I need a Certificate of Residence?
A:
CERTIFICATE OF RESIDENCE
-
A Certificate of Residence verifies
that you have been a New York State resident for one year prior
to registration or the start of the semester. Certificate(s) also
state your county(ies) of residence for the past six months. Students
registering without a Certificate of Residence will be charged Out-Of-State
(double) tuition.
-
Certificates are valid when issued
within 60 days prior to the start of classes and are valid for one
year from the date of issue. Updated Certificates are required each
year.

Q:
My tuition and fees are deferred.
Will I owe any money if I drop a class or withdraw from college?
A:
CHARGES POLICY FOR CREDIT COURSES 15 WEEKS OR MORE FOR FALL
AND SPRING SEMESTERS
-
Students registering for courses who
are granted a deferral (through the Financial Aid Office, employer's
unconditional written guarantee of payment or agency's deferral)
are ultimately responsible to fulfill their financial obligation
to the College.
-
Students who are granted deferrals
and who later drop courses or who later withdraw from FLCC will
reduce or lose their aid and will be directly responsible to pay
the tuition and fees due at the time of drop or withdrawal. You
must drop the course ONE-BUSINESS DAY PRIOR TO THE START OF SEMESTER
IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE TUITION AND FEE CHARGES. Please refer to
the FLCC catalog for further information.

Q:
How do I drop a course or withdraw
from the college?
A:
DROP AND WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURE
-
Student
must initiate drop slips during the
first 20 calendar days of the semester with the Registrar's Office
in order to get a refund or reduction in tuition liability. A verbal
noticeby a student to an instructor, advisor, or any FLCC staff
member does not constitute a formal drop/withdrawal. Lack of
attendance does not reduce tuition and fees, therefore, timely
drop slips or withdrawals will ensure proper credit to your student
account.
-
Please contact the Financial Aid Office
(ext. 7275) or the Bursar's Office (ext. 7229) for information on
how withdrawing or dropping a course may affect your financial aid.
-
You must inform the Center for Advisement
and Personal Development if you decide to withdraw from FLCC. Please
call the Center at (585) 394-FLCC ext. 7267.
Q:
What are your refund policies?
A:
See our Refunds Policy page for details on refunds based on the type of courses your enrolled in.
Q: I owe money from a previous term.
Can I register?
A:
DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
-
If your account becomes delinquent
and is not resolved with the Office of the Bursar, you will not
be able to register for the next semester and your statement of
grades and/or your official transcripts will be withheld until your
delinquent balance is paid in full. It is the policy of the College
to assign delinquent accounts to a collection agency. Students with
delinquent accounts with the College may be denied the privilege
of pre-registering for the next semester. Also their statement of
grades and/or official transcripts will be withheld until their
delinquent balance is paid in full at the Bursar's Office. It is
the College policy to assign delinquent accounts to a collection
agency. After proper notification, students who have an unpaid balance
in their account for the semester may be assigned to a collection
agency. Students will be responsible for the outstanding balance,
PLUS all the late payment fees, collection agency fees in the range
of 33.33% to 66.67%, court costs and attorney fees. Furthermore,
the collection agency will notify all credit reporting agencies
of your outstanding debt. It is therefore, important and to your
advantage to pay account balances in full when they are due.
