The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is printed in the General Catalog.  The intent of the Act is to define the types of information about students that may be released without their prior consent.  An Authorization to Release or Withhold Information Form can be completed in the MyCalhoun portal which serves as student consent for records to be released to a parent, legal guardian, other tuition providers, or other indicated individuals.  This form may also be used to opt-out of directory information disclosure.

Payment Deadline

Please refer to the semester specific ‘Important Dates’ information for tuition payment deadlines.

After the payment deadline, schedules can be deleted for nonpayment of tuition and fees.  Students may not attend class if tuition or fees are unpaid.  A financial hold will be placed on the student’s account when there is any past due financial obligation to the college.  When there is a financial hold, the student will not be permitted to register for classes, receive transcripts, nor any other service from the college.

Payments

Students may make arrangements for outstanding balances on their student account to be paid in several ways.

Calhoun allows students to access their MyCalhoun account 24 hours a day.  Use this site to view your account balance details for the term, make payments to your balance, or setup a payment plan.

Cash or check Payments

Financial Aid

Students who intend to use financial aid to pay tuition and fees must complete all financial aid processes by the due date.  Financial aid awards appear as authorized aid on your student account once you have completed all financial aid requirements and accepted your awards.  You will also need to ensure that you will have enough financial aid to pay your balance.  Any remaining balance that will not be covered by financial aid MUST be paid by the due date to avoid deletion of your schedule.  If you have any questions about your financial aid, contact Student Financial Services.
