Student Financial Responsibility Agreement

Billing & Payment Agreement:

I understand that when I register for classes at the Community College of Rhode Island or receive service from the college, I accept full responsibility to pay, in full, all tuition, fees and other associated costs assessed as a result of my registration and/or receipt of services.

I am responsible for making payment in full by the scheduled due date.

Payment in full is defined as having made full payment by cash, check or credit card, enrollment in CCRI’s EasyPay payment plan, an official financial aid award or an authorization for payment by a third party.

I understand and acknowledge that if I drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which I register, I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition and fees in accordance with the published refund schedule.

Registration fees are not refunded after classes begin. Part time students adding a class after classes begin may be charged the full-time registration fee if they reach or exceed 12 credit hours at the end of any calendar day. Course swaps must be completed on the same day in order to avoid incurring the full-time registration fee.

I have read the terms and conditions of the published tuition and fee refund schedule and understand those terms are incorporated herein by reference.

I further understand that my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as described above.

Drop Period:

Students are responsible for dropping all courses they are not planning to attend by the published drop period.

Method of Billing:

I understand that the Community College of Rhode Island uses electronic billing (e-bill) as its official billing method, and therefore I am responsible for viewing my e-bill.

I further understand that failure to review my e-bill does not constitute a valid reason for not paying my balance on time. E-Bill information is available through the My Account tab of MyCCRI.
