Payment Options

Pay by check, debit card or credit card online through myMCCKC or at any campus business office. The business offices also accept cash.

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize MCC to either use information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account, or to process the payment as a check transaction.

To pay tuition and fees in full online you will need to supply account information:

• Credit card or debit card account number (VISA, MasterCard or Discover)
• Bank routing number and account number (savings or checking)

Sign up for the MCC payment plan by paying a small non-refundable fee. The plan divides your balance into equal installments and schedules automatic payments.

Each time you sign up for a new plan, including switching between available plans within a term, you will be charged a sign-up fee.

To sign up for the payment plan, you will need to supply account information:

• Credit card or debit card account number (VISA, MasterCard or Discover)
• Bank routing number and account number (savings or checking)

Use these detailed instructions for setting up a payment plan online. 

If you have already finished all items on your financial aid "To Do" list and have been awarded one or more types of financial aid, that amount will be subtracted from what you owe on your student account. If there is still a balance due, you must either sign up for the payment plan or pay the remaining balance in full.

If you plan to use one of the following options for payment, special circumstances apply.

MCC fee waiver (employees and their dependents)

To use this option when you enroll, you will need to supply the employee's ID number and MCC email address. You will also need to submit a completed Request for Tuition Waiver form to your campus business office within seven days of class enrollment.

U.S. Veterans benefits (Chapter 31 or 33)

To use this option you will need to contact your campus Financial Aid Office veterans coordinator within seven days of class enrollment.

Third party payer (company or agency)

If the company or agency sponsoring you has a signed third party agreement on file with MCC, you may use this option.

When you enroll, your classes will be held for seven days and you will need to contact the third party billing office and submit your approved authorization letter to mcc.thirdparty@mcckc.edu.

A+ program benefits

If you have successfully completed the A+ requirements at your high school and have submitted your current free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to MCC, you may use this option when you enroll.

If you are a new MCC student you will have until the following dates to have your school send an official A+ certified high school transcript to MCC's Student Data Center:

• Fall semester - June 30
• Spring semester - Jan. 7
• Summer semester - May 30
  
  

Remember:
- A+ does not pay for lab fees; you are responsible for paying these charges.
- There is a cap on the amount per credit hour that A+ can pay; you are responsible for paying the difference, if there is one.
- A+ benefits are always contingent upon Missouri's funding for the program.

You may authorize another person (parent, relative 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 MCC will not accept a corporate check through online payment. Please see third-party section.

Here's how to sign up an authorized user on your account.

1. Go to myMCCKC and sign in to your account.
2. Select Student Center Home.
3. Scroll down to the Finances section; under My Account, click on the Authorize Payer link.
4. The online payment center window will open on the Authorized Users page. (If it does not, click on the Home icon and then on Authorized Users from the My Profile Setup menu on the right.)
5. Click on the Add Authorized User tab.
6. Enter the email address of the person you want to designate as an authorized user on your account.
7. Click the appropriate Yes/No buttons to select from the two options listed, the types of information you want to allow this person to see; then click Continue.
8. When the Agreement to Add Authorized User is displayed, click the I Agree checkbox to sign the agreement. Print the agreement if desired; then click Continue.
9. After you have signed the agreement, the system will send two emails to your newly designated authorized user, one with their userID and the other with their initial password and link to the payment center website.
10. You will also receive a system-generated email (and text message if you entered your mobile phone number in the system) alerting you that an authorized user-with email address specified-has been linked to your account.

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 mcc.thirdparty@mcckc.edu or contact them within seven days of class enrollment or your classes could be dropped.

Important: You are ultimately responsible for payment of all charges on your account if payment is not received from the third party payer.

MCC allows payment of tuition by a third party. All third party payers are required to sign and submit an official third party payment agreement (PDF). Inquiries or completed agreements should be submitted to the MCC third party billing office at mcc.thirdparty@mcckc.edu MCC will return a signed copy of the agreement to the third party as notification that the process is complete.

• 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 (PDF) must be received each semester within seven 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 emailed to mcc.thirdparty@mcckc.edu or submitted in person to any campus business office.
• 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.
