Financial Obligation
Students are expected to make full payment when they register. Other arrangements may be made subject to approval with the Business
Office. PWSCC accepts MasterCard, Visa, and Discover. If a student becomes delinquent in payment of any amount due to PWSCC or any
other unit within the University of Alaska Statewide System, PWSCC reserves the right to withhold transcripts, diplomas and final
grade reports and to refuse future registration until the amount due is paid in and reported to the credit bureau.
Easy Pay Payment Plan
If unable to pay all fees at registration and in good credit standing with the University, a student may apply for an Easy Pay
interest-free loan. A $25 fee must be paid at time of application and the applicant must demonstrate the ability to repay the loan.
According to the signed payment plan, the remainder is paid in installments; the balance must be paid in full prior to the end of
the semester. Late fees of $25 will be added to any late payment per the loan contract. Failure to make timely payments may result
in immediate cancellation of classes, holding of university records and loss of university services until payment in full is
received. Registration at other University of Alaska campuses may also be affected.
If any classes are dropped before the account is paid in full, refunds or balance due adjustments will be made according to the
refund policy below. If the student withdraws before her/his account is paid in full, the student is still liable for any balance
owed. Download: Easy Pay Payment Plan Form
Statement Of Liability
In the event that the operations of Prince William Sound Community College are adversely affected by war, riot, act of God, action
of civil authority, strike, or other emergency or condition, the college reserves the right to take action to curtail part or all of
its operations, including action to cancel classes and action to discontinue services. In any case in which a significant
curtailment is judged proper by the University, the college’s liability shall be limited to (at most) a refund of tuition and other
fees paid.
Refund Policy
Registered students may receive a refund (if appropriate) only after they have completed official drop paperwork. The date of each
transaction, on the drop form, will determine eligibility for a refund (based on the schedule below). The refund deadlines are also
published in the semester Class Schedule. Students are responsible for thoroughly reading the Class Schedule and being aware of the
published refund deadlines for their particular classes. Students who drop or withdraw or who are administratively dropped or
withdrawn from courses as a result of disciplinary action forfeit all rights to any refund.

form. The refund will be for tuition and fees due.

No tuition refund will be allowed for withdrawal after the drop deadline.
Petition For Exception To PWSCC Policy On Refund Of Tuition And Fees
A student, or person with legal authority to act on behalf of a student, may petition for an exception to PWSCC policy on refunds of
tuition and fees. Petitions are not automatically granted but will be considered per individual circumstances based on the
documentation provided. The petitioner must submit a completed and signed Petition form to the Admission and Records Office, P.O.
Box 97, Valdez, AK 99696. Written documentation from instructors, physicians, or other appropriate persons verifying and supporting
the request may accompany the petition. It is the responsibility of the student or a person authorized to act on behalf of the
student to submit the supporting documentation. Petitions submitted without documentation may not be considered. Upon the
determination of the committee whose decision is final, a written response will be mailed to the student.
