Financial Information

Student Billing and Payment

MCCN reserves the right to make changes in costs for an upcoming semester by publishing the new rates for tuition, general fees, and room at least three months in advance of the effective date. Changes in other fees, charges or policies may be made by announcement one month in advance of the effective date.

A student’s Course and Fee Statement (including approved or pending financial aid awards) is available online (CARMELink) prior to the beginning of each semester (Student tab > Business Office and Account Information > Course and Fee Statement > click on “Generate my Course and Fee Statement” > click on “View my Course and Fee Statement).

Students receiving financial aid may deduct the amount of the aid from their semester tuition bill until monies are received if the financial aid has been approved. Students with unpaid balances by this date and with no approved payment plan will be considered to have withdrawn and enrollment may be cancelled.

Consideration is given to each student’s financial circumstances. The College recognizes that financial crises do occur, and during extraordinary situations can make special financial arrangements for payment of tuition and fees. Students with financial questions should contact the Director of Business Affairs to discuss special arrangements.

Tuition Due Dates:  Payment of tuition and fees is due 7 calendar days prior to the start of each semester unless a payment plan has been pre-approved by the Business Office. The Balance Due Date is depicted on the student’s Course and Fee Statement for each semester.

College Payment Plan

A payment plan, administered through the Business Office, is available for any student. The payment plan allows the student or responsible party the convenience of distributing the tuition and fee expenses over a number of months. Tuition and fees for one semester or the entire academic year can be included in a payment plan. Pending financial aid is taken into consideration when calculating monthly payments.

Contact the Business Office (614-234-2230 or 614-234-2266) to schedule an appointment for questions about the College payment plan.

Payment Methods

Three payment methods are available:

2. Payment can be made in person at the MCCN Business Office, first floor of the Center for Learning and Education (Rm 104). Hours are 8:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. The office will accept check, money order, or cash payments. Credit card payments are accepted online only.
3. Payment can be made by credit card, debit card or electronic check online through the student’s CARMELink account (Student tab > Business Office and Account Information > Pay Using CashNet > click on the “Go to CashNet” link). CashNet accepts American Express, Discover Card, and MasterCard; a merchant processing fee of 2.75% is assessed on every credit card payment. There is no processing fee for electronic check (ACH) payments.

Any student with an account balance due as of the first day of the semester will be placed on Business Office “hold” unless satisfactory payment arrangements have been made previously with the Business Office. Any student with a Business Office “hold” cannot register for classes or view final course grades via CARMELink. The “hold” is not removed until satisfactory arrangements are made with the Business Office. This may result in the student being closed out of a specific course or section.

Satisfactory payment arrangements are defined as:

1. Payment for balance received in full;
2. Payment plan agreement signed and monthly payments received as agreed; or
3. Financial aid approved by the Financial Aid Office but still pending.

Students who have additional questions or who would like to schedule an appointment should contact the Business Office (614-234-2230, ksmith@mccn.edu or 614-234-2266, ssoble@mccn.edu).

Late Fees

At the time a student registers for classes the student agrees to assume financial responsibility for any charges and/or fees as posted to his/her student account. This financial obligation is legally binding whether the student accesses the electronic billing information on CARMELink or the account is being paid by the student or by another person.

A $100.00 late registration fee is charged to a student who fails to register for classes before 10 days prior to the semester start date (Fall, Spring or Summer).

A $150.00 late fee is charged to a student who fails to pay the projected account balance or who does not have a Business Office approved payment plan by the due date on the Course and Fee Statement. To determine the projected account balance, deduct the approved financial aid for the semester from the account statement balance. Payments must be received by the Business Office by the due date indicated on the Course and Fee Statement in order to avoid the late fee. A postmark prior to the due date is not sufficient.

If an account must be sent to collection or litigation due to nonpayment of the outstanding balance, Mount Carmel reserves the right to recover all costs involved with the collection and/or litigation of delinquent accounts. Mount Carmel College of Nursing is a non-profit institution of higher learning. As such, student receivable accounts are considered to be educational loans offered for the sole purpose of financing an education and are not dischargeable in bankruptcy proceedings.
