Student Accounts

We help you understand your college billing.

Make Payments

Questions regarding payments can be directed to student accounts staff in Student Financial Services.

All Tuition and Fees are Due within 3 Weekdays of Registration:

  • You may either make payment in full or  enroll in the college’s payment plan which offers you added flexibility and convenience.
  • If you choose to pay in full you can do so online using Ocelot Access or in person at the Cashier’s Office in the McDowell Center.

Additional Information:

MET

  • Students using MET for the first time at Schoolcraft College must contact the State of Michigan at 800-638-4543 to initiate your contract. Returning MET students must contact the Student Accounts office, each semester to arrange for your MET funds to be applied to your student account. 

    • MESP or other 529 College Savings Plan

    Students using MESP or other 529 college savings plan accounts to pay tuition and fees can be held in classes by emailing [email protected]  a confirmation of disbursement from the 529 plan administrator.

    Be sure the request to hold classes includes the following details:

    • Student’s name/ student number
    • Schoolcraft College as the Payee
    • Term/ Semester
    • Confirmation Number
    • Amount of funding must match the balance of tuition and fees owed for the respective semester.
    • Example: If a student is sending 529 confirmation for Winter 2025 and the tuition and fee total is $2500, the amount of funding on the confirmation must match this amount.

    Please Note:  Notice of funding will need to be provided every semester where a student is using their MESP / 529 college savings plan account.  Funding amount on disbursement confirmation must match the exact amount of tuition and fee charges for the respective semester to be held in your classes.
