Deadlines and Payment Options
Payment 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 a Two Years Free Student
- Have qualified for the California College Promise Grant (formerly BOG)
- Have contacted Admissions and Records/The Hub to claim a financial hardship (i.e., unexpected expense, loss of job, able to but not within 10 days)
- 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.
How to Make Payments
You can pay for your classes online, in-person, or by mail.

Financial Aid
If you’re using Financial Aid to pay for your classes, the Financial Aid Office must receive and process your FAFSA and all of your forms before you can register for classes.
California College Promise Grant (formerly BOG)
California residents with a California College Promise Grant will have their enrollment fees waived.
Check your financial aid status in mySierra to confirm your California College Promise Grant award.
Scholarships
If you are receiving a scholarship, you should verify your award with the Financial Aid Office before you register for classes.
Set Up a Payment Plan
The Nelnet Tuition Plan allows you to divide your tuition costs into monthly payments. Nelnet is not a loan program, has no interest, and does not require a credit check. You can set up automatic payments from a checking or savings account, or your credit card. The cost to participate is $20 per semester.
To manage your payment plan, go to mySierra, click "Pay for Classes/1098-T Tax Forms", then select "Setup/Manage Payment Plan."
International Students
International students must pay all 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.
Veterans Educational Benefits
If you are a new student applying for Chapter 31 (Voc Rehab) or Chapter 33 (Post 9-11), you need to complete the intake process with the Sierra College Veterans Success Center before registering for classes.
Payment by Agency or Company (i.e. Workers’ Comp., Voc. Rehab., Active Military, Ghidotti or Employer)
The Bursar’s Office must receive and process your authorization letter at least two weeks before you register for classes. If processing is not complete, pay for your class fees and you will receive a refund once your contract is processed.
