Drop for Non-Payment - Frequently Asked Questions
Due to FAFSA delays, SBCC has suspended the drop-for-non-payment process for Fall 2024 registration for students classified under the following residency statuses:
- CA residents
- Out-of-state students who pay Non-Resident tuition
The drop for nonpayment system is still active for Summer 2024; students have 7 days to pay their balance to avoid being dropped for nonpayment.
In Person at the Cashier’s Office - You can pay ONLY Summer 2024 balance and leave the Fall 2024 balance.
If you're awaiting financial aid, you can delay payment for Fall 2024. However, since the online system requires full payment, consider dropping Fall 2024 classes, paying the Summer 2024 balance, and re-adding Fall 2024 classes if space permits.
The deadline to pay classes is always 7 days after registration, but if you're waiting for financial aid and can't make the payment by then, you won't be dropped. However, if the balance remains unpaid by the end of October, a hold will be placed on your account, restricting future registration, access to grades, diplomas, and graduation. Failure to pay after 14 months may result in being sent to collections.
The payment deadline for classes is always 7 days after registration. If payment is not made by this deadline, students will not be automatically dropped from classes. However, if the balance remains unpaid by the end of October, a hold will be placed on the student's account, affecting future registration and access to academic records. Students are responsible for dropping classes they no longer plan to attend. Students will be responsilbe to pay for all classes dropped after the refund deadline.
