If the student does not pay tuition and fees on or before the due date, the student may be charged a late fee, and the student will be withdrawn from all registered courses. If the student is able to re-enroll, the student will pay a $50 student reinstatement fee. Notice of balance due and/or billing statements may be sent by postal or mail and/or electronically to the student’s Mountwest email address. It is the students’ responsibility to know when tuition and fees are due and to make payment by that time.

Student deferred payment plans for tuition and fees will be offered during the academic year. All available financial aid for the term must be credited to the student’s account prior to determining the amount available for deferral. Students must come in person to the Mountwest Business Services Cashier’s Office to sign up for deferred payment plans prior to any official due date.

Students may pay tuition and fees in person or online at myMCTC. Payments of cash, check, and credit cards are accepted in person at the Mountwest Business Services Office cashiering area. A 2.25% convenience fee may be imposed applies for payments made by credit card.
