Chadron State College accepts payments from outside sources that have formally agreed to pay tuition and fees for an eligible student. These organizations include but are not limited to the Veteran’s Administration, Vocational Rehabilitation, National Guard, etc. Each student remains responsible for any remaining balance to be left on their account after the third-party payments by the payment due dates. The student must ensure that all documentation, requirements and deadlines are met.

CSC offers a payment plan designed to assist students and their families who may be unable to pay the full amount of the bill by the due date. The plan is interest free and includes an enrollment fee of $30. Signing up for automatic withdrawal is an additional process. For more information check out our Payment Plan Website. 

If a student has not paid in full by the due date, signed up for a payment plan, reported proof of other external resources or financial aid, a 2% late payment fee, which will not exceed $100 per semester, may be assessed on the account balance.

An enrollment cancellation notice may be sent, canceling current and future registration and removing the student from on-campus housing and/or food plans. A hold will be placed on the student account blocking registration for current and future classes until the end of the term and/or account balance due is paid in full, plus a $100 reinstatement fee. After the deadline, the student will have to receive permission from all professors, the Dean of Curriculum, and Registrar to be re-enrolled in current classes. Students may not pick and choose which courses to be re-enrolled in.  Students may not be allowed to make up missed work due to disabled access or administrative withdrawal as a consequence of non-payment. If the student is not granted permission for re-enrollment the student will receive a “AD” for the class.

Delinquent student accounts may be assigned to a collection agency and receive possible legal action. The collection agency may report the account to one or more of the national credit bureaus.

Financial aid will be disbursed after the add/drop period deadline. If a student has a credit balance after all financial aid has been disbursed to the account, they may be eligible for a financial aid refund. Students may receive their refund in the following ways:

• Direct Deposit
  • Students are encouraged to enroll by entering bank information into their MyCSC student dashboard before the refund posts to the student account. See more information below about Direct Deposit. 
• Paper Check
  • On-campus students may pick up their refund check in the Business Office with their photo ID. Paper checks produced after the refund process will take approximately 7-10 business days to arrive in the Business Office.
  • If a refund check has not been picked up within 5 business days, then the check will be mailed to the address that was listed as permanent at the time the check was printed.

Please make sure your permanent address is up-to-date on your MyCSC Dashboard. 

Please refer to the Changes of Registration and Withdrawal Policy for further details.

Direct deposit will expedite the receipt of refunds which will be deposited into bank accounts within 3 to 5 business days after the refund process and eliminates the possibility of lost checks through mailing or waiting in line at the Business Office.

To participate in direct deposit, log into MyCSC, navigate to the Accounts tab and click the “Enroll in Direct Deposit” link. Students will receive email notifications as soon as the banking information has been entered, edited, or deleted.

Students will receive their 1098-T Tuition Tax Statement beginning in January of each calendar year. Click on the link below for instruction on how to grant consent to receive your 1098-T electronically.

If you no longer have access to your MyCSC Dashboard, you will need to contact the Business Office on instructions to receive your 1098-T Tax form. 

By clicking "I AGREE" when you first logged in, you have already consented to receiving your 1098-T electronically. 

1098-T Tax Information

Students needing to purchase books with financial aid can do so prior to receiving a financial aid refund. However, students must have all financial aid awarded and have completed all necessary documents to be eligible for a book advance. The book advance will be taken out of the student’s financial aid prior to being refunded so please plan accordingly.

The book advance is for Chadron State College MBS Direct only. Books purchased elsewhere are not eligible for a book advance. 

The deadline for book advances to be awarded is three to five weeks prior to the semester start date. If a student has not been awarded a book advance the student may contact the Business Office to determine eligibility.

For additional questions about the Chadron State College MBS Direct bookstore (such as help with access codes), please feel free to get in touch with their Customer Service team at the phone number below. You may also utilize their Help Center or Chat feature as well.
