Students will only be certified for courses that fit the requirements of the Amarillo College degree plan for their declared major or certificate of completion. Students should be advised by the respective program advisor prior to each registration. VA will not pay for any courses and/or labs that are not required for your approved degree program. Additionally, the VA requires you must report any changes in your schedule to the Certifying Official as soon as the changes occur to prevent over payment. Failure to report schedule reductions and/or withdrawals could result in the loss of benefits dating back to the first day of the semester and subsequent liability for any resulting over payment in tuition, housing allowance, and book stipend. You must report any changes in your enrollment and approved degree/program as they occur.

Tuition is generally due two weeks before the first day of the term. If payment isn't received by the date found at the bottom of your printed schedule, you will be dropped for non-payment and payment will be due the day you re-register.  

1. Effective Summer Term 2021: The following chapters (chapters 30, 35, 1606) are eligible for Tuition Deferment. Tuition will be deferred for 60 days from the 1st day of the term. If tuition is not received by close of business on the 60th day, a registration hold will be placed on the student record which will prevent future enrollments until the debt is cleared. The Tuition Deferment Form (pdf) must be completed every semester.

2. Payment Plan Options - Payment Plans through the AC Business Office, allow you to pay tuition and fees over time, making college more affordable.
