When Do I Pay?
All CCC students are required to 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 either 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.
