I know my tuition check has been returned, and I want to pay my tuition now, so I will not lose my classes (Valencia College shows no record of this check being returned).

Wait for notification from Valencia before you proceed to pay for your classes. Checks are automatically redeposited by our bank. If the check is returned to us, we will void the initial payment and send you notification that the account must be settled. There will be an additional charge for the returned check added to your account, and you must pay either by credit card or cash. No personal checks will be accepted for payment of this debt.

I registered for classes on the Internet and the charges are too high. Why?

In-state fees are $103.06 per credit hour and the out of state fees are $390.96 per credit hour. Any special fees associated with a class are designated by the department and the amount is listed in the college catalog by the course description. You can learn more about the fee schedule by visit our Important Dates page. If you are attempting a class for the third time, you may be charged the full cost of instruction. If your residency needs to be addressed, you must visit the Answer Center for clarification.

It can be requested through any campus Business Office.

 If I register late, what is the charge?
