Summer
2008 Session I
Because this is such a short session, we
do not offer a deferred payment plan during Summer. You must
pay your balance in full by May 19, 2008, or at the time
you register (whichever is later). If
you do not pay in full or have the appropriate paperwork
on file with the Business Office by this deadline, you will
be charged a $5.00 late fee. If you are receiving
financial aid, you must bring a statement of your Financial
Aid awards to the Business Office by May 19, 2008. We
will automatically defer the amount of the pending financial
aid at no charge if this paperwork is on file at the Business
Office by the above deadline. If you are covered by
an outside party such as Western Maryland Consortium, AmeriCorps,
Division of Rehabilitation Services, your employer, etc.,
you must have the appropriate paperwork on file by May 19,
2008.
If
you do not pay your bill in full by May 19, 2008, or have the appropriate paperwork
on file, you will be prohibited from registering for future semesters until
you pay your bill in full. If you are pre-registered for Fall and do
not pay your Summer bill, you may be withdrawn from the Fall semester

Fall 2008
Be advised
that information regarding student accounts can be released
to the student ONLY.
Here at Garrett College, assisting
our students and their families in meeting their financial
obligations is one of our biggest concerns. That is
why we offer our deferred payment plans as “worry free” alternatives
to traditional payment arrangements. However, it
is important that students understand their payment obligations. Please
feel free to come to the Business Office if you need clarification.
Unless
you are properly enrolled under one of the four plans below,
your balance is due in full by September 10, 2008, or
at the time you register (whichever is later). If
you do not pay in full or have the appropriate deferred
payment paperwork on file with the Business Office by this
deadline, you will be charged a $10.00 late fee and the
$25.00 deferred payment plan enrollment fee.
1) Full financial aid – If
you are receiving enough financial aid to
cover your entire balance, there is no charge to
defer your account balance.
2) Partial
financial aid – a) If
you bring a statement of your financial aid awards to the Business Office,
complete the appropriate paperwork, and pay any balance not covered by financial
aid by September 10, 2008, there
is no charge to defer the portion of your bill covered by financial aid. b) If
you bring a statement of your financial aid awards to the Business Office,
complete the appropriate paperwork, and pay the first third of your tuition
and fees by September 10, 2008, you will be charged the $25.00 deferred
payment plan enrollment fee which is due at the time you enroll in this plan.
3)Regular deferred payment plan – This
plan is offered for students who are not receiving any financial aid. For
a $25.00 fee which is due at the time you enroll in
the plan, your balance will be broken down into three payments. You
must enroll in this plan by September 10, 2008 to
avoid being charged a $10.00 late fee. Further information is available
at the Business Office.
4) Earn & Learn
deferred payment plan – If
you are in the Earn & Learn student work program, you
must enroll in this deferred payment plan for a fee of $35.00
which will be charged to your student account. You
must stop by the Business Office by September 10, 2008, or
as soon as you are placed with a supervisor, to enroll in
this plan.
If you do not pay your
bill in full or make payment arrangements by September
10, 2008, you will automatically be enrolled in the
regular deferred payment plan and will
be charged the $25.00 enrollment fee plus a late fee of
$10.00. The payment due dates for Fall
2008 are
September 10, 2008, October 8, 2008 and November
5, 2008. A late payment will result in a $5.00 late fee.
If you are covered by
an outside party such as Western Maryland Consortium, AmeriCorps,
Division of Rehabilitation Services, your employer, etc.,
you must have the appropriate paperwork on file by September
10, 2008, to avoid interest and/or late fees.
NOTE: DEFERRED
PAYMENT PLAN ENROLLMENT FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE.
Delinquent Accounts
We will charge delinquent accounts a $25.00
late fee. In addition, we will refer delinquent accounts to our collection
agency which is currently the State of Maryland’s Central Collection
Unit. Once referred to CCU, a collection fee of 17% will be added to
the account, the debt will be reported to consumer reporting agencies, and
Garrett College can no longer settle the account.
If you have a delinquent account,
you will not be allowed to register for the upcoming semester. In
addition, no grades or transcripts will be released until
the account is paid in full. If you pay with a
personal or business check, grades and/or transcripts will
be held for 30 days after receipt of payment due to the possibility
of insufficient funds or stop payments. Accounts paid
with either cash or credit cards can have information released
by the next business day.
