2. Sign Up for Payment Plan

   Sign up for the MCC Payment Plan by paying a small non-refundable fee before your first payment is due. The plan divides your balance into equal installments and schedules automatic payments: two for the summer plan, three for the fall and spring plans.If you sign up for a Payment Plan after the first payment due date, you will pay the sign-up fee plus the first payment amount.

eBills

MCC uses an electronic billing system to send monthly eBills to students who have unpaid charges on their accounts. After eBills are posted, emails are sent to notify students that they have a new eBill. To view your eBill or see the balance you currently owe, go to the Finances section of your Student Center account at myMCCKC.

Authorize Someone Else To Pay

You may authorize another person (parent, relative, company contact, etc.) to access your account to make a payment, set up a payment plan or view your eBill. In fact, you can set up multiple people as authorized users and each will receive access information at the e-mail address you specify for them. Each authorized user's payment information is protected because payment details can only be viewed by the person who entered them. Note: if you set up a company as an authorized user, please be aware that MCC will not accept a corporate check through online payment.

1. Go to myMCCKC and sign in to your account.
2. Select "Student Center Home."
3. Scroll down to the "Finances" section.
4. Click on the "Authorize Payer" link.
5. When the payment center opens, click on the "Authorized Users" tab.
6. Click on "Add Authorize User."
7. Enter the email address of your authorized user; then select the appropriate Yes/No buttons to give that person the access you want; then click on "Continue."
8. Click the "I Agree" checkbox to sign the Agreement to Add Authorized User.  Print Agreement if desired; then click on "Continue."
9. Emails will be sent to the authorized user with userID, password, and instructions for signing in to your MCC payment center.

Third Party Payer

Documentation is required if an agency, organization or company (like Vocational Rehabilitation, Full Employment Council, DESE, FORD, GM, etc.) will pay your tuition. You must bring official authorization to your campus business office within seven days of class enrollment or your classes will be dropped. Contact your campus business office for more information. Note: you are ultimately responsible for payment of all charges on your student account if payment is not received from the third party payer.

Third Party Agreement

MCC allows Third Party Payment for tuition and related educational supplies and services. MCC requires all third party payers to sign and submit an official Third Party Payment Agreement. Completed Agreements should be submitted to:

Metropolitan Community College
Sherry Muirhead, Student Financials Accounting Mgr.
3200 Broadway
Kansas City, MO 64111

MCC will return a signed copy of the agreement to you as notification the process is complete.

Third Party Billing Requirements:

• Employer or agency must agree to pay regardless of student success in a course, student completion of a course, or continued employment or eligibility of a student.
• An Authorization Letter must be received each semester within 7 days of enrollment or before the first day of classes, whichever is sooner, or the student could be dropped from their classes. Authorizations should be on official third party letterhead and can be submitted to any MCC campus business office via fax, mail, or in person.
• MCC will not bill individuals as a Third Party. Students have the ability to designate Authorized Payers for their student accounts via myMCCKC.

 

MCC reserves the right not to accept Authorization Letters from any company or organization that does not have a signed Third Party Agreement on file.
