Payment Options
How To Pay: Payment should be made by check, money order, bank check, or cash. Financial Aid: Financial aid can be used toward payment of a student's bill provided that the aid has been officially awarded by the Administration Office and accepted by the student. A student will not receive credit for a student loan until the loan application has been received by the Institute.  Please see IDC's Financial Aid page for more information. 

It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all financial aid is credited to his/her account. The student will be responsible for tuition due.

Sponsored Students: Students receiving sponsorship from government agencies, employers or other organizations must provide the Institute with proof of coverage.  Sponsorship is an arrangement between the student and the third party and does not absolve the student of the debt to the Institute should the third party not pay as promised.

Financial Responsibility
Tuition Liability: Upon selecting and reserving courses, you become responsible for all tuition and fees associated with that registration. You must officially drop or withdraw from classes in order to remove or reduce tuition liability. Your liability will not automatically be voided for non-attendance or non-payment.

The Institute may exercise its rights to deny future services to a student who does not make proper payment arrangements. The Institute also reserves the right to report any delinquency to a credit reporting agency and to refer an account to an outside agency for collection or legal action. All collection costs incurred by the Institute become the responsibility of the student.

Billing
All tuition and fees are to be paid to the Bursar's Office unless otherwise indicated. All checks should be made payable to the Institute of Design and Construction.
