* Important Notes on Paying by Check or Money Order:

Montgomery College has partnered with Flywire to streamline the tuition payment process for our international students. With Flywire, international students receive the following benefits:

• Excellent foreign exchange rates, generally allowing payments to be made in a student’s home currency
• Payment tracking through the transfer process via a student dashboard
• Email confirmation when payment is received by the college
• Fast and secure payments
• Assurance that the exact payment amount sent is the same amount received by the college (no hidden bank fees)

Go to Flywire to begin the payment process, to learn more about Flywire, or to find international support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via Skype, email, or by phone at 1-800-346-9252.

A Montgomery College ID (M number) is required when using Flywire and the College will only accept payments up to your current balance due.

By enrolling in the interest-free MC Tuition Installment Plan (TIP), you can use a debit/credit account to make automatic payments and spread your payments over time.

MC TIP allows students to pay their tuition in several payments. Each term is independent and must be enrolled in separately. 

• You must enroll in a TIP by the payment deadline.
• The payment due dates for your TIP are fixed and cannot be changed.
• You should carefully read your agreement when you sign up for a TIP plan so that you understand your obligations under the plan.
• INSTALLMENT AMOUNTS MAY CHANGE over time to account for any new charges, payments, or financial aid adjustments.

**Please Note: Tuition Installment Plans are designed to assist you with payment of current term balances. Payment plans for a prior balance are limited to the semester just prior to your current term i.e. you can set up a prior payment plan in spring for the prior fall term.

Important note for financial aid applicants: If you sign up for a TIP, your plan will adjust when your aid is applied to your account. If your aid is applied and you are due a refund based on payments already made, you will be issued a refund.

• For summer terms, the non-refundable enrollment fee is $20.00 per term.
• For fall and spring terms, the non-refundable enrollment fee is $35.00 per term.

The number of payments in a plan vary. Always check the charts below for payment schedules. Typical plans have two to four scheduled payments. Summer plans typically have two scheduled payments. Full term (spring and fall) plans typically have three to four scheduled payments. Payment schedules include a down payment due at the time of enrollment in the TIP and one or more follow-up payments later in the term depending on the plan.

To view and enroll in the MC TIP to pay for credit courses only, log in to MyMC and click on Pay My Bill. 

If you are enrolled in both credit and WDCE courses, do not enroll in a TIP online. You must go to the Cashier’s Office to enroll in a payment plan. If you are enrolled in noncredit (WDCE) courses only, visit the Workforce Development & Continuing Education (WDCE) TIP page for more information in enrolling in a payment plan. 

 

If you have an employer or other agency assisting you with your tuition and fee charges and they require an invoice to send payment, you will need to provide Montgomery College with authorization from your sponsor. The authorization must include the following information: 

• Your name and student identification number (M number)
• The name and billing address of the organization sponsoring you
• A contact name and phone number from the organization
• A specific statement that authorizes Montgomery College to bill the organization
• The total dollar amount to be billed to the organization
• Billing requirements from the organization
• Official signature (electronic signatures accepted) from organization

If your organization does not have an existing authorization form that provides this information, please use the MC Sponsor Authorization Form (PDF, ) .

Please also note: 

• If your sponsor authorization is based on course completion or attainment of a certain grade before payment is made, you need to pay for your classes and wait to be reimbursed by your employer. 
  • Montgomery College does not defer tuition while you wait to be paid by your employer.
• If your sponsor is not paying 100% of your tuition charges you will be required to pay your portion of the charges to the Cashier at the time your form is submitted. Also, it is your responsibility to supply your sponsor with grades or certificates of completion. This is not done by the College , even if the documentation from your sponsor authorizes the release of such items.
• If your sponsor has indicated that they will pay for book charges, keep a copy of the documentation and submit it to the Follett Bookstore when you purchase your books.
• Once your documentation has been received, an indicator will be placed on your account that will hold your classes until the charges are billed. If you decide not to attend a specific class or classes once you have submitted paperwork, then you must drop the class by the specified refund date in order to not be financially responsible for the charges.
• Sponsors are billed after the fourth week of classes during the fall and spring term. During the summer terms, sponsors are billed after the second week of classes. In the case of noncredit (WDCE) classes, sponsors are billed after the refund date for the particular class has expired.

How to Submit Authorizations:

• Sponsor authorizations should be submitted by email to sponsorbilling@montgomerycollege.edu.  Email is our preferred method of sponsor authorization submission.  Authorizations may also be faxed to Accounts Receivable Office at 240-567-0536.
