MCC offers an Installment Plan to pay for tuition and fees for the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters for a fee of $25.00. The down payment and number of payments depends on the date you elect to begin the payment plan. For your convenience, the installment plan can be set-up on line at MyMCC. After the initial setup payment, all remaining payments will be due on the 1st day of each month. Payment plans are not available for minimesters.

After registering for classes you may pick up a parking decal at the Business Office located on the 1st floor of the Administration Building. The car's license plate number is required before the decal can be issued. Parking decals are free, however a fee of $5 is charged for replacement or additional decals. Parking decals do not expire.

NOTE: If you dispose of or sell your car, you may receive a replacement parking decal at no cost if you bring the old decal (bits or pieces) to the Business Office. Decals may be removed with a single-edge razor blade.

You may pay parking fines online—see MyMCC under "All Payment Options (Pay Now)" — or in the Business Office within 10 days. After 10 days, a $5 late fee will be added per violation.

In order to have a parking ticket dismissed, you must ride the shuttle five times within 10 days of the ticket date. This does not include citations for Handicap parking. The shuttle driver will stamp your ticket each time you ride. After your fifth time of riding the shuttle, turn in the ticket to the Business Office as soon as possible to have your ticket dismissed. Only one ticket per semester may be dismissed.

Refunds for tuition and fees are sent according to the preference you selected when you activated your student ID. See "Where do I get my student ID?" below.

All Financial Aid funds (Pell, SEOG, TPEG, etc.) are disbursed as they become available.

Yes. Institutional loans may be used at the MCC Bookstore for books and supplies with an approved application. You will find the application/promissory note in the Financial Aid Office. It will take up to 48 hours to process these forms through Financial Aid and the Business Office before the disbursement is made to the student’s account.

NOTE: A service charge of $10 will be assessed for book loans. The total amount of the loan plus the service charge is due within 30 days (Summer I and II) and 60 days (Fall) after the first class day. *Book loans are not available for minimester classes.

All students must agree to the Terms and Conditions each semester prior to registering for classes. This agreement will automatically appear in MyMCC after you select your classes.

The timing of each charge and scholarship determine the year in which they are reported.  QTRE is calculated based on the “qualified tuition and related expenses” that are billed in the calendar year (not the academic year).  Box 1 on the 1098-T form reports amounts that were paid in the calendar year toward QTRE, and the pay date does not always match up with the dates that the classes were in session.  

For example, charges for the Spring semester are usually billed in November/December, so a student may have paid toward their QTRE for the Spring 2025 semester in 2024 despite the fact that classes didn't start until 2025.  Therefore, the payments made toward the Spring semester prior to Jan. 1 of the new year would have been included in the previous year's Box 1 on the 1098-T.  However, all of the spring scholarships and grants would have paid to the account after Jan. 1, so those would be included in Box 5 on the new 1098-T.
