Bursar is a term unique to higher education and is defined as a senior professional, financial administrator in a college or university. The word Bursar is derived from the Latin word “Bursa” meaning “purse.” So as can be reasoned, our office is responsible for the billing and collection of tuition, fees and other college charges. To allow students the convenience of conducting business 24/7, we have tried to automate many of our services through Titans Direct.

Important Notice Regarding ACH Direct Deposit Refunds
County College of Morris is transitioning from paper refund checks to electronic ACH direct deposit refunds paid directly to your bank account! To take advantage of this fast, safe, and secure method of payment, we encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the authorization and enrollment form.
CCM, in agreement with Federal Student Financial Aid regulations, strongly encourages the use of electronic refunds via Automated Clearing House (ACH) funds transfer.
Benefits of ACH direct deposit refunds include:
- Faster payment – quicker access to your money!
- Eliminates the possibility of a lost/stolen check.
- Saves time and the gas it takes to drive to and from your financial institution / bank to deposit or cash a check.
- Reduces paper use by eliminating the need to print and mail a check.
- Supports County College of Morris’s commitment to practice and promote sustainability!
To ensure that accounts are properly credited during our transition, paper copies of the E-Refund form and a voided bank check (or appropriate direct deposit form), MUST be mailed or handed in person to the Bursar’s Office.
**Electronic submissions of this form are not accepted at this time, therefore, please do not email this form**
Remittance information will be emailed to you when the ACH direct deposit refund has been initiated.

CCM Employee Tuition Waiver Benefits
CCM Employee Tuition Waiver Benefits are available to all employees who have successfully completed their probationary period and are covered under a bargaining unit; full time management; confidential support staff and part-time employees. Eligibility varies according to contracts or college policy. In most cases this benefit extends to an employee’s spouse and dependent child(ren). Refer to your respective contract or human resources for details. This benefit will only waive tuition charges. In order to have tuition charges waived, a CCM Tuition Waiver Form must be completed and required signatures must be obtained prior to payment of fees. Visit our E-Forms page to view a copy of the required form, CCM Tuition Waiver Form. The completed form must accompany payment of respective fees to the Bursar Office by the designated payment due date. Employees, their spouses and eligible children are not exempt from late payment fees, deletion of classes and/or service fees.
State Waiver Programs
State Waiver Programs are specific in nature and requires documentation at the time of payment. They consist of:
Volunteer Fire and Rescue
Volunteer Fire and Rescue personnel, and/or their spouse and dependent children, may receive a maximum waiver of $600 of tuition costs per family, per academic year. To obtain this waiver, the completed VTC5 form with a raised seal must be obtained from the municipality. The VTC5 form and remaining payment must then be received by the Bursar Office, together, and by the due date to avoid late fees and subsequent schedule cancellation. The VTC5 waiver cannot be applied to previously paid balance. Click here for more information about the VTC5 form.
National Guard
National Guard personnel may receive a maximum waiver of 15 credits of tuition, per semester. To enroll under the tuition free program, they must first file a FAFSA and then present the appropriate documentation to the Veterans Representative in the Counseling Office located in the Student Community Center room 118. The Veterans Representative will provide the CCM National Guard Form which must then be presented to the Bursar Office along with the balance of payment, by the due date to avoid late fees and possible cancellation of schedule. For additional information go to the New Jersey National Guard Tuition Program.
Unemployment Waiver
Unemployment Waiver may be available through the NJ State Department of Labor and Work Force Development job training program. (Start with your local state employment office.) Only courses already running and with seats available qualify for this program. Consequently, students utilizing this program may only begin registering on the first day of the semester. Please plan accordingly. Click here for specific Unemployment Waiver instructions.
