When are
payments posted to my account?
POSTING OF PAYMENTS:
The Cashier's Office receipts all payments as they are received. When
payments are received through the mail or in person, a paper numbered
receipt is written. When using the web to pay fees they are recorded
electronically. When payments are made using the web, the system issues a
confirmation number upon completion of the process. Please record the
confirmation number and the date for your records. An official receipt
representing your payment may be obtained at the Cashier's Office at
Beltline or Airport Campus.
All payment information reported on the Hope Scholarship and Lifetime
Learning summary statement will reflect the dates the payments are posted to
the College's records. Please be aware of the tax year in which you plan to
claim an educational tax credit.
It is recommended that all taxpayers consult with their tax advisor for
assistance, as each individual's tax situation is different. Additional
information is available at Tax Relief Act of 1997 Hope Scholarship.
How do I use my financial aid toward the payment of my fees?
To complete your registration you must complete registering in your
advised courses and pay all tuition and fees, or processing a zero bill if
applicable BY THE DUE DATE. Students receiving financial aid or scholarships
through the College must commit their financial aid and/or scholarship(s)
toward their fees even if you have a zero balance or have an excess of
financial aid.
The bill statement includes amount(s) due as well as possible credits when
all financial aid is committed. In some cases, a student may be due a refund
from the College. Regardless of amount due, all students must complete the
payment process.
The College is required to present you with a financial aid agreement
statement and to record your acceptance in order for you to use your
financial aid awards in paying your fees. Committing your financial aid can
be accomplished by following the fee payment steps via the web at MTC Online
or by mail.
COMMIT YOUR FINANCIAL AID:
THE THREE METHODS OF COMMITTING YOUR FINANCIAL AID AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
AND TO COMPLETE THE FEE PAYMENT STEPS ARE:
METHOD # 1: PAYMENT BY THE WEB:
After successfully completing the fee payment steps on MTC Online, you will
be given a CONFIRMATION NUMBER for your records. This is your proof of
payment. Keep a copy for your records. Your date of payment will be the date
you complete the payment steps required by the web as indicated with your
confirmation number.
METHOD # 2: PAYMENT BY MAIL:
Your Class Schedule and Fee Bill will be available on the web at MTC Online.
In our efforts to reduce costs, Schedules and Bills will not be mailed. You
may view and print a copy of your Schedule and Bill by using the web. Login
to MTC-Online - select "Financial" - select "Schedule and Bill". Select the
method of payment that meets your needs. If you choose to pay your fees by
mail, payment must be received by the deadline as indicated in the College's
calendar. See the college calendar for semester billing dates, fee payment
deadlines and current information.
If you pay your fees by mail, please sign the financial aid agreement
printed on the FRONT OF THE SCHEDULE AND BILL STATEMENT of your bill to
commit your financial aid and awards. Your canceled check will serve as your
proof of payment. Your date of payment will be the date posted by the
Finance Office.
METHOD # 3: IN-PERSON PAYMENT
See What's Happening for semester billing dates, fee payment deadlines,
in-person payment locations, and current information.
FAILURE TO COMMIT YOUR FINANCIAL AID MAY RESULT IN THE CANCELLATION OF YOUR
