    Section 702 of the Veterans Choice Act

    Section 702 of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (“Choice Act”) requires VA to disapprove programs of education for payment of benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® and Montgomery GI Bill®-Active Duty at public institutions of higher learning if the schools charge qualifying veterans and dependents tuition and fees in excess of the rate for resident students for terms beginning after July 1, 2015. These new requirements will ensure that our nation’s recently discharged veterans, and their eligible family members, will not have to bear the cost of out-of-state charges while using their well-deserved education benefits

    UA Cossatot charges in-state tuition and fee amounts to “covered individuals.” A “covered individual” is defined in the Choice Act as:

    • A veteran who lives in the state in which the institution of higher learning is located (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of discharge from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more.
    • A spouse or child using transferred benefits who live in the state in which the institution of higher learning is located (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in the school within 3 years of the transferor’s discharge from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more.
    • A spouse or child using benefits under the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship who lives in the state in which the institution of higher learning is located (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of the service member’s death in the line of duty following a period of active duty service of 90 days or more. Questions regarding the provisions of Section 702 may be submitted to Section702.Vbavaco@va.gov.

    VA will provide updates on its website at www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

    Student Account Information

    1.   All student accounts must be paid or have concrete payment arrangements made by the first day of classes. Payment arrangements include payment by cash, check, money order, or credit card. The college accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Payment arrangements also include completed and approved (awarded) financial aid of all types. Those who have not completed and been approved for financial aid by the first day of class either pay in full or set up payment plan arrangements. (See Payment Plan Information below.)

    2.   All student accounts must be paid in full by the end of the semester. If these accounts become delinquent, they will be turned over for collection. Finance charges and/or collection fees may be assessed on these overdue accounts.

    3.   Non-sufficient (NSF) check policy – Students who pay their account with a non-sufficient check will be charged a returned check fee by the college. NSF checks must be paid by cash, credit card, or money order, along with the returned check fee within two weeks of the return. Any returned check not paid within that time frame will be subject to action by the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney. The College reserves the right to refuse future check payments from students who have had a check returned as NSF.

    4.   Students who owe a balance from a previous semester will be prohibited from enrolling in courses at the College until the debt is satisfied.

    5.   Transcripts, degrees, certificates, and grades will not be issued to any student who has an overdue balance at the college.

    6.   Students with overdue balances are ineligible for work-study, student employment, extra-help, or any other part-time or full-time position with the college until their indebtedness is resolved. The Human Resources Office will check records on all former students who apply for employment at the college to determine if there is any unresolved indebtedness to the college.

    Payment Plan

    UA Cossatot has made available to students an Automatic Online Payment Plan. This plan can be accessed by visiting the college website and clicking on PAY FOR COLLEGE and then the Payments option or through a link within Campus Connect. Students may set up their own payment plan online at their convenience. Students must have payment plans set up by the first day of classes of the semester attending. The Automatic Online Payment Plan is for tuition and fees only. Book rental fees attached to a course may be included in the payment plan, but other books and supply costs cannot be charged. Changes to a student’s schedule may result in the adjustment of the payment amount. To participate:

    • Students must have a checking or savings account or a credit card.
    • There is a $25.00 set-up fee per semester to use the Automatic Online Payment Plan through NELNET.
    • Payments are drafted on the 5th of each month through NELNET Enterprises.

    QuikPAY

    UA Cossatot provides QuikPAY for student e-billing and e-payment options. QuikPAY is accessible from Campus Connect under the Student Information menu. QuikPAY will allow students to make electronic payments in real time from their checking, savings and/or credit cards. Using QuikPAY, a student may set up “authorized payers,” such as parents, on his/her student account so that his/her authorized payers can set up payment options. Another preference students may select through QuikPAY is to receive e-bill notification by text.    

    UA Cossatot offers direct deposit for all student refunds. Students wishing to receive Pell grant and all other scholarship refunds may sign up for direct deposit by visiting the college website and logging in to the student account at Campus Connect and go to Direct Deposit Refund under Student Information menu. This Direct Deposit feature is part of the QuikPAY platform. Students must have a checking or savings account to receive direct deposit refunds. Direct deposit refunds may allow students to receive refunds quicker than the ordinary check method.

    Textbook Rental Program

    Prior to the beginning of each semester, dates in which textbooks will be available for rental will be announced and posted on the ERC website www.youseemore.com/cccua. Textbooks are available a week prior to the first day of class. Pell grants and/or scholarships may be applied to textbook rentals. (Check with Financial Aid to make sure particular scholarships cover textbook rental expenses). Upon course enrollment, textbook rental fees and/or purchases will be charged to the student account. Fees may not show up for certain courses upon enrollment but will be added manually. Students may return rental textbooks without incurring rental fees until the 11th day of class. Opened or used software and/or access codes are not eligible for a refund. After the 11th day, students still pay the full rental fee. Students enrolled in a course but opting not to rent the textbook must notify the ERC to ensure the rental fee is removed from their account. Textbook rentals are currently $30 per textbook unless otherwise indicated on the expense list at www.youseemore.com/cccua. (Some courses may require the purchase of additional workbooks, software and/or access codes).

    The college will ship textbooks with a return label to students who live 60 miles or more from any UA Cossatot campus.

    Students may return rented textbooks at any point during the semester; however, if returned after the 11th class day, the rental fee is applicable. Students must return textbooks by a specified deadline each semester, which is noted on the rental agreement. After the return deadline passes, students will be charged the full price of the textbook plus a $20 handling fee. Textbooks will not be accepted after the return deadline.

    Students will be charged the full price of the textbook for not returning by the deadline or for any damage incurred during the rental period.
