Austin Community College District student account questions
What happens if I have an unpaid balance at Austin Community College?
Per Texas Education Code 54.007(2)(d), students who fail to pay tuition and fees by the due date may be prohibited from registering for classes until full payment is made. Students who fail to pay before the end of the semester may be denied credit for work done that semester. If you miss a payment plan installment, a $20 late fee is added and a student hold is placed on your account. Accounts may be sent to a third-party collection agency, and you will be responsible for all collection costs and attorney fees.
