Don’t Miss Your Deadline!

  • Check your tuition deadline to avoid losing your classes.
  • If you miss your deadline, you will need to re-register for classes. We cannot guarantee seats will still be available if you have to re-register.

Payment Plans

Carteret Community College offers tuition payment plan options each semester. All payment plans require a down payment to complete enrollment. Fall and spring semester payment plans are split into four installments, while summer payment plans are split into two.

Students with pending financial aid awards or veteran benefits that are less than the total amount of their classes may choose to set up a workaround payment plan for the remaining amount due.

Authorize Other Users

Students may authorize another person online access to their account for payments by setting them up as an authorized user. Setting up an authorized user online does not grant Carteret Community College staff permission to discuss a student’s account record with the authorized user. The student may edit or delete the authorized user at any time. Visit Tuition Deadlines & Payment Information for more information.

Financial Obligations & Indebtedness

Diplomas, certificates, and student transcripts will be withheld from students who have not made a satisfactory settlement of all their indebtedness to the College. All students are expected to meet their financial obligations to the College. Students who have delinquent accounts will not be permitted to enroll for subsequent semesters. The State Board of Community Colleges, under which Carteret Community College operates, states that students' tuition and fees are payable at registration. A student is not considered registered nor eligible to attend class until all tuition and fees have been paid. The responsibility for meeting financial obligations rests on the student.  The college has partnered with Nelnet to offer payment plans of up to 12-months to pay off past due balances.

Returned Checks

If the college receives a returned check for payment of tuition and fees, the student will have fifteen (15) days from the date of notification to pay the tuition and fees. If payment is not received by the specified time, enrollment will be terminated. The College allows the student fifteen (15) days in which to make restitution of the returned check. If by that time, restitution has not been made, the matter will be turned over to the Carteret County Clerk of Superior Court for collection.
