Students taking online courses offered at Middlesex Community College can use various methods to ensure proper payment of your tuition. Payment must be made at the time of registration to ensure your place in the course. If no payment has been made within 24 hours of registration, you are subject to being dropped without notice because of insufficient funds.
Financial Aid
Full-time students matriculated into a degree program at Middlesex Community College are eligible to receive financial aid. Your financial aid award package applies to both on-ground and distance learning classes. You must fill out a FAFSA form to be considered for financial aid.
Full-time students matriculated at another Connecticut Community College can have their home institution apply financial aid to cover an online class at Middlesex. You must contact a financial aid representative at your home institution and they must approve the application of this money to MxCC. You must also contact financial aid at MxCC (860)343-5741 to notify them of this. It is your responsibility to work with both departments to make sure the funds are disbursed in a timely manner.
Payment Plans
All students, full- and part-time, can set up a payment plan through the Business Office. To do this, the student must be present to develop and sign the contract.
