How and When Do I Pay My Tuition and Fees?

Tuition and fees should be paid to a Cashier in the Fiscal Control Office located on each Eastern Arizona College campus. Payment should be made at the time of registration. You may pay by phone or in person with your VISA or MasterCard, or mail your check or money order to Cashier, Eastern Arizona College, Thatcher AZ 85552-0769. Checks, drafts, and postal or express money orders should be made payable to Eastern Arizona College. Registration is not complete until all tuition and fees and outstanding debts or balances are paid.

If you expect to receive financial aid you need to work closely with the Financial Aid Office to seek and receive financial assistance. If you are seeking aid for the fall semester, you are advised to begin the application process early the previous spring.

In the Semester Calendar section of the Class Schedule, published each semester, a date is specified by which all fees or financial aid arrangements are due. If payment is not received by this date, your registration will be canceled. If your registration is canceled, you may not be able to get back into all your classes. Don't let this happen to you! Be sure all financial arrangements are made by the date due.

What is EAC's Refund Policy?

Tuition and Fees

Refundable tuition and fees are defined as general tuition and out-of-state tuition. All students who officially withdraw from the College or individual semester-length or short-term courses before the close of registration for the course will receive a full refund. Students who withdraw from open entry/open exit courses after the term or semester in which the course is offered has begun will not receive a refund. Fees including assessment, class, lab and other special or miscellaneous fees are not refundable.

All refunds and deposits that may be due a student will first be applied to debts that the student owes the College. When federal student aid is used to pay for tuition and fees, the refund will be made to the federal fund, not to the student.

Federal regulations require that if you are a federal financial aid recipient and you totally withdraw from the College on or before the 60% point in the enrollment period, you must return a percentage of the federal aid funds disbursed. For example: if you withdraw at the 30% point of the enrollment period, you earn 30% of all aid that could be disbursed. The remaining 70% of the aid is unearned aid and must be returned. Further information is available at the Financial Aid Office and/or their web page or in the disclosures section of this catalog.

Cancelled Courses

When the College cancels a course, a full refund will be made for the cancelled course.

Other Refunds

If you wish to appeal the refund policy you may do so by petitioning the Admissions and Academic Standards Appeals Committee. Petitions are submitted to the Records and Registration Office.

A student in the Armed Forces or the Arizona National Guard who is called to active duty and assigned to a duty station, verifiable by a copy of the orders, will be allowed to withdraw and receive a full refund of tuition provided courses have not been completed.

Residence Halls

In order to meet the demand for housing and provide rooms for those students who really need them, there are firm cancellation and refund policies in effect. If you wish to cancel your residence hall reservation, you must notify the Housing Office. Cancellations on or before July 15 for the fall semester or on or before December 15 for spring semester will result in a full refund of your $150 housing reservation/damage deposit. Cancellations after these dates will result in the loss of your housing reservation/damage deposit. You must pay your room cost prior to the first day the residence halls open for the semester. If you do not pay by this date, your reservation will be cancelled and your housing reservation/damage deposit forfeited. If you pay then cancel your reservation by this date, you will be eligible for a full refund of your room cost. If you move out of the residence hall prior to the end of registration, your housing reservation/damage deposit will be forfeited and you will be eligible for a 50% refund of your room cost. After the end of the registration period, there will be no further refunds of room costs. Housing reservation/damage deposits will be refunded minus individual and/or communal damages. Petitions for a waiver of the refund policy may be made to the Assistant Dean of Student Life.

Meal Plan

Students who cancel their meal plan through 50% of the campus food service period will be eligible for a pro-rata refund.

Students living in the residence halls are required to have an approved meal plan.
