FINANCIAL POLICY
All students will be set up on a payment plan automatically unless payment is received
in full 14 days prior to the start of the semester. The balance on a student’s account will
be divided into 4 payments. Payments made by credit card will incur a 1% banking fee.
The first payment will be due in August for the fall semester and January for the spring
semester. A $35 payment plan will be added to the student’s account. Students must be
current on their payment plan before being allowed to register for the next term. Students
who are not making payments on their account in a timely manner will be contacted by BC
Center to resolve the account balance. This resolution may include removal from classes
and Bluefield College if necessary. For further information, please see the student account
policy in BC Central, through the College website, or on MyBC. Attorney’s fees and other
costs of collection will be imposed should collection efforts become necessary for the
student accounts past due balance.
SPECIAL COURSES AND ACTIVITIES
There may be additional charges to the student for special courses, activities or
experiences. Students will be notified by BC Central or by faculty when these charges will
be applied to their account.
INTERNSHIPS
If the College incurs incremental costs by outside instructors or entities regarding
internships, the student will be charged an internship fee to cover these incremental costs.
CHECK CASHING AND RETURNED CHECK POLICIES
As a service to students, BC Central will cash one check of up to $50 per day. Students
are encouraged to establish an account at a local bank while attending Bluefield College
