Student Financial Agreement 

I understand and agree that once I am registered for a course or courses at Genesee Community College (the “College”), I am solely responsible for the payment of the resulting tuition, fees, and any other charges that I have authorized to be posted my account.  I fully understand, acknowledge and agree that regardless of any expected reliance by me on any third-party resource, including, without limitation, financial aid, employer reimbursements, scholarships, or any other external resource, I am and remain personally responsible for paying any and all balances due the College.  This agreement constitutes a continuing agreement obligating me to pay all outstanding balances due the College.

Residency Requirements

To qualify for New York resident tuition, the student must submit to the Business Office a certificate of residence once per academic year.  Ordinarily, a certificate of residence is submitted at the time of registration, but no earlier than 60 days before the beginning of a semester.  Students who do not submit a certificate within 30 days after the start of the semester will be subjected to double tuition charges.  For additional information see Residency Requirements.

Withdrawal Policy

Course registration creates a financial obligation to the College.  The tuition refund policy is only effective upon receipt of an official withdrawal notice.  Non-attendance is not withdrawal.  For additional details see Withdrawal Policy.

Failure to Pay & Collections for Nonpayment

I understand that if my account should lapse into delinquent status, I will receive no transcript, no grades, and will not be allowed to register until my bill is paid.  Please note that it is the College’s practice to place delinquent accounts with an outside collection agency at the end of each term.  I understand that all costs and expenses incurred by the College in the enforcement of collection of past due accounts, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, shall become my responsibility and will be added to the amount due.
