FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TUITION AND FEE SCHEDULE

PAYMENTS AND OUTSTANDING ACCOUNTS

Tuition may be paid in four or five equal monthly payments. All other fees must be paid in full at the start of the semester or as otherwise incurred. Arrangements must be made at the beginning of each semester. Balances must be paid in full at the end of each semester. The college accepts payments by VISA and MasterCard.

Unpaid account balances will hinder a student from continuing his studies. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you need assistance in this area. Furthermore, transcripts will not be issued for students who are not making satisfactory and faithful progress in paying any outstanding account balance.

FINANCIAL AID

At the present time FFC distance education students do not qualify for Federal Title IV or State of Oklahoma Financial Aid.  Many distance education students use their employer’s Tuition Reimbursement program.  Please call the Financial Aid office if you have any questions.
