Payment Plan

CCCUA has made available to students the FACTS Tuition Management Plan. This plan can be accessed by logging onto the cccua.edu website and clicking on the ‘e-Cashier’ logo at “Payment Options Online”. Students may set up their own payment plan online at their convenience. Students must be aware of deadlines and set up their payment arrangements in a timely manner to avoid being dropped from the classes they have chosen. The FACTS payment plan is for tuition and fees only. Books and other bookstore items cannot be put on the payment plan. Changes to a student’s schedule may result in the adjustment of the payment amount.

  1. Students must have a checking or savings account or a credit card.

  2. There is a $35.00 setup fee to use the FACTS Tuition Managment Plan.

  3. Payments are drafted on the 5th (fifth) of each month until the account is paid in full.

Special Notes

  1. Students who owe tuition and/or fees from a previous semester will be prohibited from enrolling at CCCUA until the debt is satisfied.

  2. Student accounts that are delinquent will be turned over to the State of Arkansas for garnishment of their state income tax refund.

  3. Student accounts that are unpaid or inactive may also be turned over to a collection agency and listed with the credit bureau. Finance charges will be assessed on overdue accounts.

  4. Transcripts, degrees, certificates or grades will NOT be issued to any student who has an overdue balance at CCCUA. Students with overdue balances are ineligible for work-study, student employment or extra help positions through the College until their indebtedness to the College is resolved.

  5. The Personnel Office shall do a records check on all former students who apply for employment at the College to determine if there is an unresolved indebtedness to the College.

Federal Policy - Return of Title IV Funds

The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 require a refund calculation for all students who receive Title IV and certain state student aid at a post-secondary institution of higher education who withdraw during a payment period (semester). The length of time during which a refund must be calculated is up to 60 percent of the payment period.
The new calculation states that a student earns aid based on the period of time the student remains enrolled. Unearned Title IV funds, other than work study, must be repaid by the student.
The return of Title IV funds applies if the student withdraws up through the 60% point in a semester. The Title IV funds that must be included are Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), and other Title IV programs. If it is determined that funds must be returned to a federal aid program, the funds must be returned in the following order:

1. Pell Grant
2. SEOG Grant
3. Other Title IV Aid Programs

For additional information, contact the Financial Aid Office.
Students receiving other forms of aid and scholarships will have their refund calculated using UA-Cossatot Community College’s refund policy, unless the scholarship/grant stipulates differently.
