Fee Definitions

Admission Fee

A non-refundable admission fee of $10 will be assessed for those students entering SCC for the first time.

Building Fee

A building fee (depending on number of credits) is collected for the purpose of facility rental, expansion, improvement and maintenance.

Computer Fee

Though students may not be registered for computer courses, it is expected that the student body will use the computers for processing of class projects throughout the academic semester. A computer fee (depending on number of credits) is collected for equipment purchases, upgrades, repair, maintenance and purchase of consumable computer supplies.

Lab Fee

Lab fees are charged for certain courses to defray the cost of consumable supplies such as paper, ink cartridges, art supplies or other required materials. The amount will be announced in the semester schedule of classes.

Other Fees

A fee classified as other will be charged to offset transportation costs provided to students and Internet access fees. Our costs for these services are continually rising and a fee has been designated to offset the cost.

Non-Enrolled Fee

Students who are not enrolled members of a federally-recognized tribe, in accordance with the provisions of P.L.95-471, or who have not been a continuous resident of the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation for one year, are subject to a non-enrolled fee of $15 per credit hour.

Registration Fee

A non-refundable registration fee is collected from each student each semester to help defray the cost of recording information on the student’s official records at SCC.

Student Activity Fee

A student activity fee is collected for Student Government activities and SCC development.

Tuition Cost

A fee charged per credit for instructional and general operating expenses. Refunds for tuition are based on number of weeks enrolled.

Continuing Education Unit (CEU)

Continuing Education Units will cost each student $45 per unit. CEUs will not be counted towards financial aid and do not apply toward degree programs.

Deferment

Payments must be made even if the student withdraws from school. Any refund due to the student because of withdrawal, either voluntary or involuntary, will be applied toward the satisfaction of the deferred fee obligation. If the refund is larger than the amount outstanding, the excess of refund due over balance outstanding will be returned to the student. Any unpaid balance of the deferred obligation must be paid before the student may re-enroll, graduate or transfer to another college.

Payment of Charges

Tuition and fees must be paid or written arrangements for payment must be made at the time of registration. Students may not register for a subsequent term unless all charges for the preceding term have been paid or satisfactory arrangements for payment have been approved by the Business Office. Transcripts, grade reports or diplomas cannot be released until all charges have been fully paid.

All financial aid received on behalf of the student will be applied towards their educational related expenses first, before any refunds are processed. Refunds to students will be processed in accordance with the Business Office schedule.

Students are encouraged to contact the Business Office in regard to their financial obligations and status.

Refunds of tuition will be made according to the following schedule:

Friday of the first week of classes…100% refund
