Step 6 - Payment

• Tuition and Registration Fee Calculation
  • The Maricopa County resident tuition rate is $76 per credit plus a $15 per semester registration fee per MCCCD college being attended.  Due to reciprocal county agreements, Arizona resident students from any county except Apache and Greenlee counties pay Maricopa county resident tuition rates. The out-of-state and out-of-county (Apache and Greenlee) tuition is $317 per credit hour plus a $15 per semester registration fee per MCCCD college being attended.
    
  • Calculation:

 $76 x _____ + $15 = $ _____
         cr. hrs.                total

• Payment of tuition and Registration Fee
  • If a student has not paid their tuition and fees by February 10, 2012, they will not be registered for dual enrollment for the spring  term 2012.
    
• Types of payments
  • Checks (Made payable to: South Mountain Community College)
  • Credit/debit cards
  • Money order
  • Tuition assistance (must apply for tuition assistance - see Tuition Assistance below)

OPTIONAL STEPS:

 

Step 7 (Optional) - Apply for Tuition Assistance

• For more information on dual enrollment tuition assistance and to obtain a Dual Enrollment Tuition Assistance Grant Application or contact the SMCC Dual Enrollment Coordinator.
• Completed tuition assistance applications may be turned in with the registration packets, but must be submitted no later than January 20, 2012. 
• Applications submitted after January 20th will not be considered. 
• Incomplete applications missing signatures and/or supporting documents will not be considered.
• Registrations accompanied by a Tuition Assistance Grant Application will be considered conditional until the tuition assistance application status has been determined.  Students who are denied tuition assistance will have the option of withdrawing their registration without penalty. Please indicate your conditional enrollment preference and contact information on the Dual Enrollment Registration form

Step 8 (Optional)- Create your Student Center/MEID

If you have not already created your online Student Center account, it is highly recommended that you do so now.  The online Student Center is a convenient way of accomplishing most transactions that are needed for admissions, registration, payments, transcript requests, grades, viewing student account balances and financial aid.

• Create your "My.Maricopa.Edu" Student Center account.  The process will establish both your MEID and your student ID.  The MEID is used to access your online Student Center while your student ID is required for all student transactions throughout the 10 MCCCD colleges.  Your Student ID is required for testing. Your Student Center account can provide the following benefits.
• NOTE: Sometimes a problem occurs when a student uses their middle name while trying to create a Student ID.  Therefore, when you create your Student ID do not use your middle name.  We encourage you to submit your middle name on your Student Information Form (SIF) or update it at a later point to help differentiate your student record.
• Set up your student account by clicking here for step by step directions.

Step 9 (Required for bioscience courses only) - Bioscience Informed Consent Form

• Students enrolling in Bioscience courses, that are part of a SMCC's participation in a project funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), require participants to submit an Informed Consent form.  The form should be included in your packet, but if it has been lost another form can be found at this link: Bioscience Consent Form
