Frequently Asked Questions

All CCC students must pay their account in full or have another payment method (Financial Aid, WIOA, etc.) in place before the tuition due date. You can find your due date on your registration statement or in MyCleveland. If your account is not paid in full by your due date, or you do not have another payment method in place, you will be dropped from your classes due to non-payment.

CCC offers a variety of options to help you pay for college. While financial aid is the primary source of financial assistance for students, some students may also be eligible for funds through Veterans Affairs or the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
