* Non-HOPE eligible fees

Non-HOPE Fees

Each quarter, even students who are using HOPE Grant or Scholarship to pay tuition/fees are assessed fees that are not automatically paid by HOPE. Students may elect to allow their HOPE book allowance to pay these fees. Students should log onto their BannerWeb account and complete the one-time electronic authorization to allow payment of fees that financial aid (HOPE or federal aid) doesn’t normally pay.

Transfer of Fees

Fees may not be transferred from one quarter to a future quarter. If a student is unable to attend school during the quarter for which fees were paid, the refund procedure will be followed.

Books, Tools, Uniforms, and Equipment

Textbooks may be required in all programs and the cost varies by program.
Tools are required in some programs, particularly skilled and technical programs. Tools are the property of the student and essential to the occupational field. Total cost will vary among programs. Students will be given a list of tools, equipment, and kits that will be required. For additional information, please speak to your instructor.
Students are notified if uniforms are required in their program of study.

Senior Citizens

Georgians age 62 and older may attend credit classes and pay no tuition. Proof of age is required for the waiver; however, textbook costs and mandatory fees are assessed. Admission is available on a space-available basis and does not apply to continuing education classes. A student wishing to be classified as “Senior Citizen” for tuition/fee assessment purposes should submit official identification to the Registrar’s Office.

Auditing a Course

A student auditing a course must pay the applicable tuition and fees for enrollment in that course.

Late Fees

A $30.00 late fee will be assessed to students’ accounts should registration take place beginning the first day of the quarter or thereafter. The fee must be paid at the time of registration (or by the established deadline). Should the late fee not be paid, the student will risk being dropped from his or her class(es). There will be no late fee for students adding classes to an existing schedule.

Returned Checks

Checks returned to the Bursar’s Office must be satisfied with cash, money order, cashier’s check, or credit card. Habitual violators will be placed on a “cash only” restriction, and no further payments via check will be accepted by the Bursar’s Office.

Payment and Financial Aid Deadlines

Payment and financial aid deadlines are established for each registration period. Payment and/or financial aid must be in place to cover a student’s account balance. Financial obligations that are not met by the established payment and financial aid deadline will result in the student’s classes being dropped.

Financial Obligations

A student delinquent in the payment of any financial obligation may be dropped from courses and may not be allowed to register for another quarter until such a delinquency is removed. The student will not be issued quarterly grade reports, transcripts, or any other student records. Any student receiving notice that his or her status has been placed on hold should immediately contact the office issuing the hold.

If for any reason a student owes funds of any type back to Chattahoochee Technical College, a business office hold will be placed on his or her account. From that point forward, until the balance is resolved/paid in full, the student will be unable to register for future quarters, have enrollment information released to any third-party, receive official academic transcripts, etc.

Refunds

Students withdrawing from a course by the end of the college’s third instructional day of the quarter (please see the applicable quarter’s calendar for the exact date and time as set by the College) and no shows shall receive a 100% refund of applicable tuition (hours below 15-hour tuition cap) and applicable refundable fees, excluding the application fee.

Students who withdraw from a course after the third instructional day (please see the applicable quarter’s calendar for the exact date and time as set by the College) of the quarter shall receive no refund.

Withdrawing students receiving federal financial aid will have their awards adjusted in compliance with the Return of Title IV Aid requirements. Please see Financial Aid section of catalog for further details.

Refunds are normally processed weekly by the Bursar’s Office. Quarterly refunds are not processed until the end of the withdrawal period for the applicable quarter.

CTC OneCard

The CTC OneCard (in cooperation with HigherOne) is the refund management tool used by Chattahoochee Technical College

All registered students are issued the CTC OneCard. The CTC OneCard is mailed to all registered students using the address on file in the Registrar's Office. You must ensure that your address on file is accurate and is a deliverable address. Your CTC OneCard cannot be forwarded to another address .

Please note that all students must activate their CTC OneCard. This process is for all students, not only financial aid recipients.

Students must activate their new CTC OneCard at www.ctconecard.com and select one of the following refund preferences:

Free online checking account (OneAccount), or
Direct Deposit into your existing bank account, or
Paper check

Refunds will be delayed if your CTC OneCard is not activated and your refund preference is not selected.

NOTE: Students will be charged a $10 card replacement fee for any CTC OneCard that has to be reordered, and cards may be ordered thru the cashier’s office at any campus.

If the student elects to use the CTC OneCard as his refund preference, HigherOne automated teller machines (ATMs) are available for students to use on various campuses with no associated fees.

Please note that if a student is assessed fees by HigherOne as a result of overdrawn accounts, use of non-HigherOne ATMs, etc., the student must deal directly with HigherOne. CTC has no access to this information regarding a student’s account and cannot intervene on a student’s behalf.
