Important!
You must owe a minimum of $250 for Curriculum classes to participate in the automatic payment plan. The payment plan is no way contingent on Financial Aid. Changes in class schedule will affect the amount you owe. You must call the college for any adjustments to be made to your account. The final amount for the current term on your registration form, your student ID, and techlink password will be needed to complete the budget plan. You must have no outstanding debt with Forsyth Technical Community College. Failure to pay the deferment as agreed will result in the college denying student services (grades, official transcripts, registering for any classes, applying for intent to graduate, etc.) and future enrollment. The college retains the option to excuse you from classes for non-payment.
Balance Adjustments: Please do not assume your balance will automatically adjust if financial aid is received or a class is dropped or added. You should review your agreement balance online.
You must call the Cashiers Office to request any changes for any adjustments to be made before the payment deadline.
North Carolina Law (General 115D) establishes the NC Community College tuition and fees and the charges are subject to change without notice.
