Deferred Fee Payment Plan

NOTE: The Deferred Fee Payment Plan is not available for Summer credit classes.

 

The Deferred Fee Payment Plan is an easy plan of three installments during the fall and spring semester as follows:

  • 50% of all fees are due at the time of registration
  • 25% is due 30 days later
  • 25% and final payment is due 30 days after the second payment

Sign up through TigerWeb or at any Chattanooga State campus. You must enroll prior to making your first payment, and agree to the following terms:

  1. The student must owe a minimum of $100 after subtracting any financial aid, scholarships, fee waivers, and fee discounts from the balance owed.
  2. A minimum payment is due immediately for one-half (50%) of current total fees.
  3. The setup fee for the Deferred Fee Payment Plan is $25.00 and must be paid at time of enrollment in the plan.
  4. Student hereby agrees to pay the remaining deferred balance as stated in this agreement in two (2) installments on or before the due dates specified for each installment.
  5. A $25.00 late fee will be added for each installment payment not received by the due dates noted below.
  6. INSTALLMENT AMOUNTS MAY CHANGE over time to account for any new charges, payments, adding or dropping classes, or financial aid adjustments.
  7. IMPORTANT: Should you withdraw from school, any fees and charges already incurred are still due. Refunds are handled in accordance with the policies stated on the Chattanooga State website.

 

Failure to Meet These Terms May Entitle Chattanooga State to:

  • Declare the full balance, plus late fees, to be immediately due and payable by law.
  • Refuse subsequent registration for any classes and/or drop current classes.
  • Withhold grades, diplomas or transcripts from being released until the unpaid balance, as well as all attorney fees, legal expenses and other costs are paid in full.
  • When an installment is paid and is returned by reason of insufficient funds, said payment shall be considered delinquent. The student shall then be subject to a late payment charge and the College’s standard charges relative to returned checks.
  • When enrolling under this plan, it shall be understood by the student that in the event the services of a collection agency or an attorney are required in order to collect the unpaid balance, said student shall be responsible for payment of collection fees or attorney’s fees and court costs.

  2. In person with cash, check or credit card

  3. A worksheet will be displayed showing:
    • the Down Payment plus the $25.00 enrollment fee
    • the next two payment dates and amounts due on those dates.

NOTE: Stopping payment on a check does not constitute proper withdrawal. A $30 fee will be charged for each check returned to Chattanooga State. Proper withdrawal procedures must be followed to obtain correct credits/charges to students accounts.
