Our records indicate that you have pending funding to pay all or part of your tuition/fees. Your classes are being held until the funds can be applied. If there is a balance due after funding is applied it is your responsibility to pay. If you are no longer eligible to receive these funds you must pay your tuition/fees immediately. If you have a change in your enrollment or are not attending, please notify the Business Office at 360-623-8646.

If you DO NOT have a Prevent Enrollment Cancel or Tuition Deferred-Possible Financial Aid hold on your account, please contact the office or department that manages your funding.

Students who are unable to pay full tuition have the option to enroll in a quarterly tuition payment plan. This interest-free monthly payment plan is offered by Centralia College and can be accessed the student's ctcLink account.  

• Login to ctcLink and go to your Student Homepage.
• Click on the Financial Account tile.
• Click on Payment Plans.
• Click on Enroll in Payment Plan. (Do not click on NelNet. NelNet is not available at Centralia College.)
• Select the payment plan for the term(s) you are enrolled in.
• DO NOT ENTER OR CHANGE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT! This allows ctcLink to auto-adjust your payment plan if there are changes (i.e. add/drop classes, Financial Aid).
• The Payment Plan requires a $1.00 sign-up fee. This fee and the first payment need to be paid by the drop day directly to the cashier's office in person or by phone at 360-623-8931.
• The full amount needs to be paid before registration for the following term. You will not be able to register for classes with an uppaid balance.

For more information, please contact the Centralia College Cashier’s Office at 360-623-8931 or 360-623-8646.  

NOTE: Running Start students, students who owe less than $250, and students taking classes that do not start and end with regular quarter dates are not eligible to participate in the payment plan.

If you need additional help paying your tuition or fees, please be sure to apply for Financial Aid, even if you do not think you will qualify. Completing a FAFSA or WASFA opens doors to other funding sources, including emergency grant funding.

The federal Family Educational Rights to Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibits the college from releasing academic records without a student's written permission. Academic records may include the amount you owe in tuition, your Student ID number, scholarship information, or transcripts. If someone is paying your tuition, you must take one of the following steps:

1. Give the college written permission to release your records and place on file with the Admissions and Records Office.
2. Provide your student ID number and the exact tuition you owe to the person who is paying your tuition. This information is required in order to process your tuition payment.
