October 16, 2020   Important Billing Update

The Student Accounts office has been diligently working with the Housing office to confirm on- and off-campus status for each enrolled student at CC.  Thank you to Residential Life for all their hard work and thank you to those students who completed the Fall Housing Survey.  At this time, we are confident that all housing and meal plan adjustments have been completed.

Billing statements are now available online reflecting all adjustments made since 8/11/2020.

What was the process for determining housing and meal plan adjustments?

Students who had not set foot on campus and had not been invited to return to campus for fall term received a full housing and meal plan credit. Since families were billed for yearly housing and meal plan charges on 8/11/2020, the yearly amounts for housing and meal plans were reversed.  Please note: housing assignments for spring term will be retained in our system, but it is possible that your housing assignment for the spring term may change; you will be notified by the Housing office via email in this situation.  Once all housing assignments are confirmed for spring term the Student Accounts office will set up spring housing and meal plan charges and those charges will be reflected on your January billing statement and due February 5^th.  For those families utilizing one of our payment plan options, if and when housing and meal charges apply, the fees will be added to your student account, resulting in an increase your overall balance and, in turn, recalculating your remaining installments due.

Students who have submitted an approved leave of absence form for the entire fall semester (Blocks 1-4 or Blocks 1-J) will receive a full housing and meal plan credit.  Since most families received yearly housing and meal plan charges, all fees have been reversed from the student account unless the student was on campus for a short period of time during block 1 and used their meal plan. In that case, they have been charged for their meal plan usage and 25% of the dining infrastructure fee (which equates to $87.50) but no housing charge. Your housing assignment for spring term will not be retained in our system so if you plan to return to campus for the spring term you will need to notify the housing office by Friday, December 4, 2020 to apply for spring term housing.  When all housing assignments are confirmed for spring term the Student Accounts office will set up spring housing and meal plan charges and those charges will be reflected on your January billing statement and due February 5^th.  For those families utilizing one of our payment plan options, if and when housing and meal charges apply, the fees will be added to your student account, resulting in an increase your overall balance and, in turn, recalculating your remaining installments due.

Students who had been on campus for Block 1 and left campus prior to September 20, 2020 will be charged 25% of their fall semester housing assignment (with the exception of those living in Mathias, Loomis and South halls who will receive a full credit for Block 1 housing).  All students (no matter where they lived) who were here during Block 1 and utilizing their meal plan dollars will be charged for their meal plan usage and 25% of the dining infrastructure fee (which equates to $87.50.)  Spring semester housing and meal plan charges will be removed and housing assignments will be retained for those students who had spring housing assignments. It is possible that your housing assignment for the spring term may change and you will be notified by our housing office via email in this situation.  When all housing assignments are confirmed for spring term the Student Accounts office will set up spring housing and meal plan charges and those charges will be reflected on your January billing statement and due February 5^th. For those families utilizing one of our payment plan options, if and when housing and meal charges apply, the fees will be added to your student account, resulting in an increase your overall balance and, in turn, recalculating your remaining installments due.

Students who had been on campus for Block 1 and received approval to remain on campus for the remainder of the term as well as students who received approval to come back to campus for Blocks 2,3 and 4 will be charged full housing and meal plan charges for the fall term.  Spring term housing (housing assignment will remain in our system) and meal plan charges will remain on the student account as well.  It is possible that your housing assignment for the spring term may change and you will be notified by our housing office via email in this situation.  All housing adjustments for spring term will be made in January.  If you have an increased housing rate and/or meal plan rate from the original charges on 8/11, a billing statement will be available to you in January.  These fees will be due February 5^th. For those families utilizing one of our payment plan options, if and when housing and meal charges apply, the fees will be added to your student account, resulting in an increase your overall balance and, in turn, recalculating your remaining installments due.

How will housing and meal plan credits be applied to a student's account?

Families utilizing the 2-semester payment plan option, 9-month payment plan or 4-month payment plan who receive housing and meal plan credits will see a lower overall balance and recalculated remaining installments.  If you would like the credits issued to you as a direct refund and not apply toward your overall balance to reduce your remaining installments, please complete this form: COVID-19Refund Request Form 

Families who have paid their yearly fees in full and who received housing and meal plan credits will receive a direct refund; a check to their permanent mailing address.   

Student refunds are processed weekly and parent refunds are processed twice a month.
