I understand that when I register for any class at 麻豆社 or receive any service from 麻豆社, I accept full responsibility for payment of all tuition, fees, and incurred charges due to 麻豆社.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand and agree that my registration and acceptance of these terms constitutes a promissory note agreement (i.e., a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. \u00a7523(a)(8) in which 麻豆社 is providing me educational services, deferring some or all of my payment obligation for those services, and I promise to pay for all assessed tuition, fees, and other associated costs by the published or assigned due date.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand and agree that if I drop or withdraw from some or all of the classes for which I register I will be responsible for paying all or a portion of tuition, fees and incurred charges such as but not limited to books, course fees, and program fees in accordance with the published tuition refund schedule<\/a>. I have read the terms and conditions of the published tuition refund schedule and understand those terms are incorporated herein by reference. I further understand that my failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility as described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that 麻豆社 uses electronic billing (e-bill) as its official billing method, and therefore I am responsible for viewing and paying my student account e-bill by the scheduled due date<\/strong>. I further understand that failure to review my e-bill does not constitute a valid reason for not paying my bill on time. E-bill information is available at www.eastcentral.edu<\/a>. I may log into My麻豆社, under the Student Finance<\/strong> tab, and Account Summary<\/strong> to view my account balance. My account balances may also be paid through My麻豆社. My statements can be generated and printed by clicking View Statements on the right side of the Account Activity Screen. If I do not have internet or printer access, account statements may be requested at any of our campus locations by presenting valid photo identification or by calling the Cashier\u2019s Office at 636-584-6739.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All tuition, fees and other incurred expenses are due and payable to 麻豆社 and are my responsibility to pay as the result of registration and\/or other activity that incurred charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payment options available for students:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cashier\u2019s checks, credit\/debit cards; money orders, and traveler\u2019s checks are acceptable payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Personal checks<\/strong> \u2014 The amount of the personal check may not exceed the amount due on my student account. Returned checks may result in being dropped from classes for non-payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MasterCard, American Express, VISA, and Discover<\/strong> \u2014 The Cashier\u2019s Office accepts payment on the student’s account up to the credit limit of the cardholder. The charge amount may not exceed the amount due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Payment Plan<\/strong> \u2014 Students that are unable to pay the full amount may enroll in a payment plan for the semester with Nelnet. Information for the Nelnet Payment Plan can be found by going to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Financial Hold:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing 麻豆社 by the scheduled due date, 麻豆社 will place a financial hold on my student account<\/strong>, preventing me from registering for future classes or receiving my diploma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drop for Non-Payment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing 麻豆社 by the scheduled due date, I could be dropped from 麻豆社 for non-payment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Returned Payments: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand and agree that if a payment made on behalf of my student account is returned by the bank for any reason, I must repay the original amount of the payment plus a $25 returned check fee. I further understand that any check submitted for payment on account that is returned for insufficient funds will prompt a Cashier\u2019s Office Hold on my student account. I understand that multiple returned payments and\/or failure to comply with the terms of any payment plan or agreement I sign with 麻豆社 may result in cancellation of my classes and\/or suspension of my eligibility to register for future classes at 麻豆社. The hold can only be cleared once the bad debt is paid by cash or money order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Collection Method: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand and accept that if I: (1) fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing 麻豆社 by the scheduled due date or (2) fail to make acceptable payment arrangements to bring my account current, 麻豆社 will pursue collection efforts including referring the account to a collection agency and\/or the Missouri Debt Offset Program. I understand that I shall be responsible for any and all attorney\u2019s fees and expenses 麻豆社 might incur while attempting to collect payment for the debt owed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that prior to the semester census, I must follow proper procedures when withdrawing or dropping from courses to ensure proper charges<\/strong>. I will be charged for any withdrawal after the 100% refund withdrawal date. I understand that it is my responsibility to formally withdrawal from courses, and failure to do so will result in charges<\/strong>. I will be assessed appropriate tuition and fees for changes to my schedule. I understand that charges are assessed and refunded in accordance with the Semester Academic Calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that aid described as \u201cpending\u201d on my Financial Aid Award does not represent actual or guaranteed payment but is an estimate of the aid I may receive if I meet all requirements stipulated by that aid program. I understand that my Financial Aid Award is contingent upon my continued enrollment and attendance in each class upon which my financial aid eligibility was calculated.<\/strong> If I drop any class before completion, I understand that my financial aid eligibility may decrease and some or all of the financial aid awarded to me may be revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If some or all of my financial aid is revoked because I dropped or failed to attend class, I agree to repay all revoked aid that was disbursed to my account and resulted in a credit balance that was refunded to me. Financial aid and scholarships will be applied to my student account, and I agree to allow any financial aid I receive to be used by 麻豆社 to pay any and all charges assessed to my account at 麻豆社 such as tuition, fees, service fees, fines, bookstore charges, or any other amount, in accordance with the terms of the aid and as set forth below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that financial aid awards can be viewed through My麻豆社 under Financial Aid \u2013 Financial Aid Self Service. It is my responsibility to determine if my financial aid awards will cover all charges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If any requested financial aid documentation is not received by the Financial Aid Office before the close of the regular registration period, I will be purged from my classes for non-payment.<\/strong> Aid is intended to be used for the semester for which it is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Federal Aid Disbursement: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that any federal Title IV financial aid that I receive, except for Federal Work Study wages, will first be applied to any outstanding balance on my account. Title IV financial aid includes aid from the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and Federal Direct Loan programs. I authorize 麻豆社 to apply my Title IV financial aid to other charges assessed to my student account such as bookstore charges, service fees, and fines, and any other education-related charges. I further understand that this authorization will remain in effect until I rescind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prizes, Awards, Scholarships, and Grants:<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that all prizes, awards, scholarships, and grants awarded to me by 麻豆社 will be credited to my student account and applied toward any outstanding balance. I further understand that my receipt of a prize, award, scholarship or grant is considered a financial resource according to Federal Title IV financial aid regulations, and may, therefore, reduce my eligibility for<\/p>\n\n\n\n other federal and\/or state financial aid (i.e., loans, grants, Federal Work Study) which, if already disbursed to my student account, may be reversed and returned to the aid source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that if I decide to completely withdraw from 麻豆社, I could owe monies back to 麻豆社 as well as monies related to federal financial aid. I understand that the United States Department of Education requires students to repay a portion of their federal financial aid until 60% of the semester is completed. A complete withdrawal with money owed to 麻豆社 will result in a hold being placed on my account to prohibit future enrollment as well as transcript availability. The balance must be paid in full to release this hold. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Method of Communication:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand and agree that 麻豆社 uses e-mail as an official method of communication with me and that therefore I am responsible for reading the e-mails I receive from 麻豆社 on a timely basis. Official communications will be sent to my 麻豆社 e-mail. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact:<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I authorize 麻豆社 and its agents and contractors to contact me at my current and any future cellular phone number(s), email address(es) or wireless device(s) regarding my delinquent student account(s)\/loan(s), any other debt I owe to 麻豆社, or to receive general information from 麻豆社. I authorize 麻豆社 and its agents and contractors to use automated telephone dialing equipment, artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messages, and personal calls and emails, in their efforts to contact me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Updating Contact Information:<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand and agree that I am responsible for keeping 麻豆社 records up to date with my current physical addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers by contacting Student Services at 636-584-6588 or emailing studentservices@eastcentral.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 The Change of Student Information<\/a> procedure is incorporated herein by reference. Upon leaving 麻豆社 for any reason, it is my responsibility to provide 麻豆社 with updated contact information for purposes of continued communication regarding any amounts that remain due and owing to 麻豆社.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that 麻豆社 is bound by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) <\/a>which prohibits 麻豆社 from releasing non-directory information from my education record without my written permission. Therefore, I understand that if I want 麻豆社 to share information from my education record with someone else, I must provide written permission by following the procedure outlined at the 麻豆社 FERPA<\/a> page. I further understand that I may revoke my permission at any time as instructed in the same procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I agree to provide my Social Security number (SSN) or taxpayer-identification number<\/p>\n\n\n\n (TIN) to 麻豆社 upon request as required by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations for Form 1098-T reporting purposes. If I fail to provide my SSN or TIN to 麻豆社, I agree to pay any and all IRS fines assessed as a result of my missing SSN\/TIN. I consent to receive my annual IRS Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, electronically from 麻豆社. I understand that I can withdraw this consent or request a paper copy by contacting East Central\u2019s Cashier\u2019s Office, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM \u2013 5:00 PM and Friday, 8:00 AM \u2013 2:00 PM at 636-584-6739.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand and agree that if I am under 18 years of age when I execute this agreement that the educational services provided by 麻豆社 are a necessity, and I am contractually obligated pursuant to the \u201cdoctrine of necessaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n I understand that administrative, clerical or technical billing errors do not absolve me of my financial responsibility to pay the correct amount of tuition, fees, and other associated financial obligations assessed as a result of my registration at 麻豆社.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This agreement supersedes all prior understandings, representations, negotiations and correspondence between the student and 麻豆社 constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters described, and shall not be modified or affected by any course of dealing or course of performance. This agreement may be modified by 麻豆社 if the modification is signed by me. Any modification is specifically limited to those policies and\/or terms addressed in the modification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n **麻豆社 has a right to modify or revise student charges regardless of whether they have been paid prior to the revision. **<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Payment of Fees\/Promise to Pay I understand that when I register for any class at 麻豆社 or receive any service from 麻豆社, I accept full responsibility for payment of all tuition, fees, and incurred charges due to 麻豆社.
