Senior Discount	Any Missouri resident 65 years of age or older (on or before August 1 of an academic year) may enroll tuition-free in credit courses at the college, based on available class space after tuition-paying students have enrolled. The scholarship does not cover special fees, books or materials. You will be required to present proof of age at the time of registration. All courses may be taken on a credit or audit basis, and all course prerequisites must be met prior to registration.
Missouri Veterans	To comply with the Missouri Returning Heroes Act, tuition charged to combat veterans will be limited to $50 per credit hour. Eligibility is determined for any program leading to an undergraduate certificate or an associate or baccalaureate degree. A "combat veteran" is any person who served in armed combat after Sept. 11, 2001, who was a Missouri resident when first entering the military, and who was discharged from military service under honorable conditions. If you would like to apply, submit a copy of your most recent DD-214 (long form) and the Returning Heroes Education Act Application to the Enrollment Services Department, Room 1113 in the Administration Building. Your documentation will be reviewed to determine if you meet the criteria to be considered for reduced tuition. The Enrollment Services Department will determine the amount, if any, that your tuition will be reduced.
Active Duty Military Personnel	To comply with the Higher Education Opportunity Act, SCC will charge in-state tuition rates for any member of the armed forces who is on active duty for a period of more than 30 days and whose domicile or permanent duty station is in Missouri. Eligibility is also extended to the service member's spouse or dependents. The in-state rate will apply so long as the service member, their spouse or dependent is continuously enrolled at SCC, not withstanding a subsequent change in the permanent duty station of the service member to a location outside of Missouri.

In accordance to FERPA guidelines, any third party who wishes to register (add/drop) or make a payment for a student will need to be listed on an Authorization for Third Party Registration and Payments form that has been completed by the student. The forms can be found on the website at www.stchas.edu/home/forms-applications.html, or in the Enrollment Services or Student Development offices.

Alternative Payment Plan

St. Charles Community College has contracted with an outside vendor, in order to provide our students with an alternative tuition payment plan that allows you to extend payments beyond the “last day to pay” for SCC students.

Tuition Refund Policy

If you withdraw from a course or from the college, you may receive a refund for that session or semester provided that a “drop slip” is completed and filed with Enrollment Services within a specified time. It is important to do this immediately, since the date of the drop slip will determine the rate of the refund. A full refund is made if a class is canceled due to insufficient enrollment.

Note: If you register on the Web, you may pay on the Web, by mail, or in person.
