Payment Information
- Tuition and fees are due immediately upon registration. Your registration is not complete until payment is made. Classes may be dropped by the Registration Office for non-payment.
- There is a grace period of 7 calendar days from the first day you register for classes OR by the first day of the quarter, whichever comes first. Adding then dropping and re-registering for the same class before the quarter begins does not extend or renew the 7 original calendar days of the grace period.
- Registrations on or after for the first day of the quarter require immediate payment at the time of registration. There is no grace period once the quarter has begun. If you register after the third day of the quarter, you must obtain a blue permission card from the instructor to enroll.

STEPP (Student Tuition Easy Pre-payment Program)
Make payments toward your tuition and fees in three easy installments using the Student Tuition Easy Pre-payment Plan (STEPP).
A non-refundable $50 fee will be charged to you to set up your account – per school year (Summer quarter through spring quarter).
Once you have established an account, you would begin making your payments two months prior to the start of the quarter. Participation in this plan requires enrollment prior to the start of the quarter.
Agreements can be faxed to the Cashier’s Office at (425) 564-6180 or returned in person during office hours. If faxing the form, please follow-up by calling (425) 564-2309 to provide payment over the phone.

Third Party Funding
Third party payment options include vouchers, letters of credit or purchase orders from companies or agencies paying tuition on your behalf.

Tuition and Fees Refund Schedule
If you withdraw from the college or drop classes, you may be eligible for a refund. The college begins to process refunds after the third day of classes. A processing fee is deducted from the refund amount. Refunds are calculated as follows:
Fall, Winter and Spring Quarters:
- 100% Refund: 1st – 5th instructional day of the quarter
- 50% Refund: 6th – 20th calendar day of the quarter
- Non Refundable: After the 20th calendar day
Summer Quarter:
- 100% Refund: 1st – 3th instructional day of the quarter
- 50% Refund: 4th – 11th calendar day of the quarter
- Non Refundable: After the 11th calendar day
No checks will be processed for refunds that are less than $25. Any refund balances below $25 may be applied to future quarters of attendance unless the original payment was made by a third party with other instructions. Balances under $25 remaining after eight quarters will be forfeited. The payment method for refunds is made according to the payment method used for the original payment. If the initial payment was charged to a credit card, the refund is processed back to that credit card. Cash and check payments are refunded by check. Self-support programs, like Continuing Education may develop different refund policies for programmatic reasons.
Drop for Non-Payment
Non-payment of tuition and course-related fees (including returned checks and/or credit cards) may result in the student being withdrawn from some or all classes (BC Policy #7250). A withdrawal fee will be charged if you have ever been dropped for non-payment in the past.
Returned Checks / Credit Cards
Returned checks and/or credit cards are assessed a fee. Admission to or registration for classes, conferring of degrees, and issuance of academic transcripts may be withheld for failure to meet financial obligations to the college and may result in the account being sent to a collection service. All collection fees are the responsibility of the check/credit card writer and/or the student. If a student writes three checks (including third-party checks) which are returned, his/her check-writing privileges will be denied (BC Policy #7150).
ORCA Bus Passes
Quarterly ORCA bus passes are available for purchase in the Cashier’s Office.
