Students must pay in full, create an authorized payment plan or have a pending financial aid award in place at BHCC and pay for or waive the College’s health insurance by the payment due date. Failure to pay may result in courses being dropped at the close of business on the day of registration. At the time of registration students registering in-person receive a registration statement/bill and schedule that indicates the amount due.

Third Party Billing
Students may submit a third party document or purchase order from an employer, etc. which allows the College to bill that party directly with no restrictions Documentation must be presented at the time of registration. Web registrants will need to present the third party information prior to registration to ensure that your financial account is credited or coded or you may be dropped for non-payment.

Payment Plans
The College offers an installment payment plan. Students may enroll in the Payment Plan, a third party service for a fee, and make monthly payments for the upcoming semester. The first installment and the fee are due with the application. Terms for the payment plan contracts are monitored by the Student Payment Office. Budgets may be automatically adjusted to cover billed charges. If financial aid is received or a class is dropped or added, you should review your agreement balance online through My FACTS Account or contact Bunker Hill Community College Student Services at 617-228-2000 or email bursar@bhcc.mass.edu to confirm the change. Students who are delinquent will be subject to payment penalties, and may be denied the use of the payment plan in future semesters.

Health Insurance Waiver
Massachusetts State law requires that all students taking 9 or more credits in the fall semester or 9 or more credits in the spring semester have medical insurance. There are no exceptions. If you are taking 9 or more credit hours, you are automatically charged. You may waive the coverage if you have comparable coverage. Waiver instructions are available at http://onlineservices.bhcc.mass.edu or at the Student Payment Office. International Students may NOT waive health insurance coverage. International Students must purchase the College’s health insurance plan unless they can prove that they have obtained local coverage that meets state requirements. The waiver form is available by clicking here.

Outstanding Financial Obligations
Students who have any outstanding financial obligations to the College will not be permitted to register. Delinquent accounts must be paid in full. Unpaid balances will be referred to state intercept and to a collections agency. This means that your state income taxes will be intercepted and you will not receive your state refund. Furthermore, additional fees will be assessed and can be as much as 33% of the balance due.

Schedule Adjustments
Students that adjust their schedule (including adding a waitlisted course) must make full payment or make payment arrangements at the time of the adjustment. Failure to do so will result in the dropping of the course(s) you are adding. For example, if you registered and paid for 2 courses and receive a call that a seat is available in a course that you waitlisted, your registration now includes 3 courses. If you do not pay for that waitlisted course immediately following registration and pay for or waive the health insurance fee, you will be dropped from the course you added.

Refunds
Students may drop (cancel) a credit course and receive a 100% refund within the schedule adjustment period listed in the course booklet. There are no refunds after the schedule adjustment periods. Lack of attendance in a course does not constitute a drop. Students who register for a course and subsequently decide not to attend classes are responsible for officially dropping the course prior to the end of the schedule adjustment period by completing a schedule adjustment form at the Admissions & Registration Desk, B203 (courses may be dropped online through WebAdvisor until the last official day of registration for the semester/session, dropping courses on or after the first day of classes must be done in person).

See the course schedule book for refund deadlines.

NO refunds are issued after the specified schedule adjustment period.
