Mountwest Tuition/Fees, Refund Policy and Program Expenses
Unless otherwise noted, all fees are due at the beginning of each academic year. There is no difference in tuition for West Virginia residents or out-of-state residents. All fees are subject to change without notice.
Students pay Mountwest Community & Technical College (MCTC) directly for their tuition. Students who receive financial aid from MCTC may receive fall aid by August but must contact the Financial Aid office early in order to do so. Students may be granted a short-term extension under extenuating circumstances.

Payment of Fees
Tuition and fees are due and payable to Mountwest Community and Technical College in accordance with the due dates shown on any student billing statement, electronic communication, notices posted in the Mountwest Student Services One-Stop area, social media and College website. If the student does not pay tuition and fees on or before the scheduled due date, the student will be withdrawn from all registered courses. Students may re-enroll; however, the College can not guarantee the same course schedule provided on the original registration. A notice of balance due or billing statement may be sent through postal mail, electronically to the student’s Mountwest email address or both. It is the students’ responsibility to know when tuition and fees are due and to make payment by that time.
Student deferred payment plans for tuition and fees will be offered during the academic year; however, all available financial aid for the term must be credited to the student’s account prior to determining the amount available for deferral. Students must speak with a Business Services: Student Accounts representative to sign up for deferred payment plans prior to any official due date.
Students may pay tuition and fees in person or online at myMCTC. Payments of cash, check, and credit cards are accepted at the Business Services: Student Accounts office located within the Student Services One-Stop area. A 2.25% convenience fee may be imposed for payments made by credit card.
A student’s registration is not complete until all tuition and fees are paid. Registration may be cancelled for payments returned as non-sufficient and subject to a $25 penalty.
A student who has a financial obligation to Mountwest cannot engage in any registration activity until the obligation is satisfied or as authorized by the Office of Student Accounts. Any unpaid student obligation may be assigned to a collection agency; if assigned, the student will communicate and pay the collection agency directly.
Withdrawal/Reinstatement Policy for Nonpayment of Enrollment Fees and other Financial Obligations
- Upon notice from the Office of Business Services: Student Accounts, the Registrar’s Office will initiate a complete withdrawal for a student not paying fees or other financial obligations. The withdrawal will be classified as “Administrative- Nonpayment of Enrollment,” or “Administrative Nonpayment of Financial Obligations.”
- If the student fulfills the financial obligation, the Office of Business Services: Student Accounts will notify the Director of Advising who shall have the discretion to approve requests for reinstatement.
- A student who owes a financial obligation to MCTC will not be permitted to enroll in subsequent semesters or terms until the obligation is paid, or as approved by Business Services: Student Accounts contingent upon satisfactory progress towards satisfying the financial obligation.
- If a student disputes an administrative withdrawal, he/she may file an appeal with the Dean of Students/Registrar.
Refunds
Tuition and fees will be refunded according to the schedule below.
- Official complete withdrawals from all courses on the student’s course schedule.
- Students who are denied admission, declared academically ineligible to return, or are unable to return for medical reasons, may be refunded on a prorated basis.
- Refunds of tuition and fees to students called to armed services will be processed in accordance with military orders.
- When it becomes necessary to cancel a class by administrative and/or faculty action, a student is granted a full refund of the tuition and fee for the class canceled unless he or she registers in another course of like value in terms of semester hours. This action does not apply to disciplinary action or withdrawals due to nonpayment of financial obligations.
- A student who is required to withdraw from the institution for disciplinary reasons is not entitled to refunds.
Refund Policy
Effective with the Spring 2014 semester, after the schedule adjustment period for a term closes, a student must totally withdraw from all registered courses in order to receive any refund of tuition and fees. The College will no longer refund tuition and fees for individual classes dropped after the schedule adjustment period ends.
*The schedule adjustment period is defined as the first week of classes in the Fall and Spring semesters, and typically the first day of classes for each summer session.
Refund Schedule
The following schedule for calculating refunds shall be adhered to for those students who withdraw from the institution via the official withdrawal process and are eligible to receive funds. Monetary Refunds to Students will begin within 4 to 5 weeks after the semester starts.
