Payment Information and Payment Types

Deadlines and Payment Options

Payment Deadline/Policy

A payment for your classes is due when you register. If you do not pay at this time, your classes may be automatically dropped after 10 days (including holidays and weekends) unless you:

Are eligible for Tier 1 or Tier 2 on the 2021/2022 awarding priorities for Two Years Free

Have qualified for the California College Promise Grant (formerly BOG)

Have contacted Admissions and Records to claim a financial hardship (i.e., unexpected expense, loss of job, able to pay but not within 10 days)

Are a Veteran (continuing student) certified under Chapter 31 (Voc Rehab) or Chapter 33 (Post 9-11)

If you do not pay for your classes by the first day of the semester, a hold will be placed on your account.

If you do not plan on attending a class, you should drop it as soon as possible. If you do not drop classes by the add/drop/refund deadline (found on your class schedule in mySierra), you will be responsible for paying your tuition and fees, even if you do not attend

Payment Policy for International Students

International students must pay all tuition and fees in full at the time of registration. Payments can be made with a check, a money order from a U.S. bank, or a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) through mySierra.
