Additional Assistance & Policies

Financial Hold

I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing County College of Morris by the scheduled due date, County College of Morris will place a financial hold on my student account, preventing me from registering for future classes, requesting transcripts, or receiving my diploma.

Delinquent Account / Collections

I understand and agree that County College of Morris may use my Personable Identifiable Information (Name, Address, Date of Birth, Social Security Number / Tax ID Number, Phone Number, Email Address) that I have provided (directly or indirectly) to collect on any delinquent balances with the College. I understand that, after the County College of Morris has made every effort to inform me of the delinquent account balance through several channels including, but not limited to, direct mail billing, emails to my student or personal email address, text messages, or certified mail, the college will use alternate collection efforts. These alternate collection efforts include the use of outside Collection Agencies which may affect my credit report and subsequently, my credit score, and/or the New Jersey Department of Treasury – Division of Taxation, which may affect my income tax or property tax relief payments.

Late Fee and possible deletion of classes

I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing County College of Morris by the scheduled due date, County College of Morris may assess a late fee and possibly remove my unpaid classes via deletion and assess a service fee per course.

Reinstatement Fee

I understand and agree that if I fail to pay my student account bill or any monies due and owing County College of Morris by the scheduled due date, County College of Morris may assess a reinstatement fee, in addition to other fees as disclosed under Information About Course Fees and Payments if I wish to re-enroll in any deleted courses.

I understand that aid described as “estimated” on my Financial Aid Award does not represent actual or guaranteed funding, but is an estimate of the aid I should receive if I meet all requirements stipulated by that aid program, including financial verification requirements.

I understand that my Financial Aid Award is contingent upon my continued enrollment and attendance in each class upon which my financial aid eligibility was calculated as prescribed by law. If I drop any class before completion, I understand that my financial aid eligibility may be decreased or revoked. If some, or all, my financial aid is revoked because I dropped or failed to attend class, I agree to repay all revoked aid that was disbursed to my account and resulted in a credit balance that was refunded to me. I agree to allow financial aid I receive to pay any and all charges assessed to my account at County College of Morris such as tuition, fees, service fees, ineligible refunds (previous credit balances) or bookstore charges within the financial aid award period.

Awards, Scholarships, Grants

I understand that all awards, scholarships and grants provided to me for attendance at County College of Morris will be credited to my student account and applied toward any outstanding balance. I further understand that my receipt of a federal award, grant or loan is considered a financial resource according to federal Title IV financial aid regulations, and may therefore reduce my eligibility for other federal and/or state financial aid which, if already disbursed to my student account, must be reversed and returned to the aid source.

I understand that County College of Morris is bound by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which prohibits County College of Morris from releasing any information from my education record without my written permission other than basic “directory” information. I understand and agree that if I am younger than the applicable age of majority when I execute this agreement that the educational services provided by County College of Morris are a necessity, and I am contractually obligated pursuant to the “doctrine of necessaries.” I further understand that my privacy rights and responsibilities are those applicable for higher educational institutions, even if I am still high school aged.

I agree to provide my Social Security number (SSN) or taxpayer identification number (TIN) to the County College of Morris upon request, as required by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations for Form 1098-T reporting purposes.

I consent to receive my annual IRS Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, electronically from County College of Morris. I understand that if I do not consent to receive my Form 1098-T electronically, a paper copy will only be mailed if requested.
