The sample shows two payments: (1) $1862 paid by an outside funder; and (2) a $300 payment of which $250 was a scholarship and a $50 payment by credit card. Next, locate the column labeled Balance to see what additional money is owed. The sample shows: $1432.34 is still owed to MSCTC.
7. Next click My Account at the left side. Click on Full Account Details to see ALL of your bills at ALL colleges and details on charges and payments. Locate the current term. Locate your home college, and then each college where you have charges. IF you have applied for financial aid at your HOME college: You do not need to do anything else to maintain your enrollment at your HOME college. BUT, you must ensure any courses you are taking at other colleges will count toward your program of study to maintain your enrollment at other colleges. If you are not a financial aid recipient to maintain your enrollment at your home and other colleges, either: A pay authorization from an outside source must be on file with each college, OR You must have applied for a FACTS Payment Plan at each college and made the required down payment at each college (whichever is less of 15% or $300), OR You must have paid in full the tuition and fees owed to each college. The student in the sample is owes $1434.13 to MSCTC, her HOME college and $200.81 to Northwest Technical College, and $202.81 to Northland. Since the student is not a financial aid recipient, she must either submit a FACTS Payment Plan to NTC and NCTC along with paying 15% or $31 each to NTC and NCTC.
