Late fees may be assessed each month on past due balances. The following is a guideline of late fees assessed.

• $50 & under = $15
• $51 – $150 = $25
• $151 – $499 = $50
• $500 & above = $100

Late fees are non-negotiable.

The complete balance due must be paid to avoid late fees.

• In paying the initial enrollment fee, the student and parent or guardian accepts all conditions of payment as well as regulations of the College.
• Every Face-to-Face Student must pay a $200 enrollment fee each year.
  
  • Online-Only Students must pay a $70.00 enrollment fee each 8-week session or $140.00 per semester.
• The $200 enrollment fee is non-refundable.
• The enrollment fee must be paid by June 15 before each academic year for returning students. Newly admitted students pay at the time of enrollment.
• New students will not be enrolled until the enrollment fee is paid.
• Returning students will be dropped out of courses if enrollment fee is not paid.
• Students who audit classes do not have to pay an enrollment fee.

The following Rules must be followed each semester before a student can receive access to a room assignment, Dining Hall privileges, academic classes, or athletic participation (play or practice).

• Payment of 100% of billings from all previous semesters. (No exceptions)

And

• Payment of 100% of all charges for the current semester 

Or 

• Payment of at least 20% of the total billing for the current semester (in the form of non-MVC aid or cash) and completion of a Payment Plan with set monthly payments (beginning no later than August 31) for the remaining balance of the current semester’s bill that pays off current semester’s total charges by November 30 for the Fall Semester and April 30 for the Spring Semester.

If the student falls behind on their respective Payment Plan by more than $1,500 for more than thirty (30) days, they will be required to bring their Payment Plan at least current within 10 days, or they will be subject to suspension from the College for the remainder of the semester (in the case of International Students, their F-1 status will also be removed).

How to calculate your 20% payment due:

• EXAMPLE USING BASE PRICE: (You can find your billing details in Colleague Self Service)
  • Total Billed for the Semester:  $17, 650
  • Subtract MVC Scholarship or Grant Awarded:  $8,000 
  • Total Subject to 20% payment: $9,650
  • 20% Payment Due Prior to Check-in:  $1930.00

For this example, the $1930.00 due can be satisfied with a cash payment or by qualifying for FAFSA and receiving Federal Aid in the amount of $1930.00 or more.  If your Non-MVC Financial Aid (Pell Grant, Student Loans, Outside Scholarship, etc.) covers the 20%, you will not be required to make an out-of-pocket payment.  However, you must have your Payment Plan set up through the MVC Student Self-Service Portal for the remaining balance. 

There will be no exceptions to this policy, underscoring its importance and the need for strict adherence.

Missouri Valley College has partnered with PayMyTuition to offer an interest free Payment Plan to enable students or their families to make monthly installments on their student account towards tuition, fees and room and board. The payment plan is not a loan and is available for the fall and spring semesters for up to five automatic installments per semester. Enrolling in this plan requires a non-refundable $35 fee per plan.

  • DEADLINE TO ENROLL AUGUST 10TH. (5 payments if enrolled by July)
    
• Spring Semester – December, January, February, March, and April.
  
  • DEADLINE TO ENROLL JANUARY 5TH. (5 payments if enrolled by December)
    
• It will be up to the discretion of the MVC Business Office if late enrollment will be allowed.

POLICY STATEMENT / PURPOSE OF PROCEDURE

The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) at Missouri Valley College as a payment card accepting merchant.

RELATED PROCEDURES

MVC Employees are strictly prohibited from storing, charging, processing, copying, or otherwise transmitting any data related to debit or credit cards, unless it is within the following capacities:

1. Using the self-service portal as the primary and preferred option for students and other stakeholders to make payments. The portal utilizes a PCI compliant gateway to process transactions.
2. When absolutely necessary to take payments over the phone, the employee must be using the IP phone assigned to them by ITS, disable any call recordings, and fully process the transaction while the customer is still on the line. Employees must not process transactions using a cell phone, or take note of card information to process at a later time.
3. Employees must only process transactions using a secure environment. This is limited to SSL/TLS encrypted self-service applications, or secure PCI compliant terminals.

Employees must reject credit/debit card numbers sent to them via email, text message, or any other digital form of communication.  Likewise, paperforms containing card holder or payment card data are to be rejected.

Data Access (PCI 7.1.2):

Employee access to data will be strictly restricted to the minimum data elements required to fulfill their job duties. Requests for escalating data access will be reviewed by the employee’s direct supervisor and the Information Technology Services department. Unreasonable or unnecessary requests will be denied.

Business continuity and Backup procedures:

MVC does not store payment card data on any of its servers. All PCI related information is stored in cloud servers provided by our PCI compliant payment gateway. Their PCI compliance is reviewed annually by ITS. All other college systems are backed up daily (full) and hourly (differential ) depending on the critical nature of each system. Back ups are stored in secure on and off-site locations.

Staff members are required to have two-factor authentication enabled on their MVC accounts. Two-factor authentication is also required for their accounts on our payment processing portal (Braintree).

Vendors operating on the Missouri Valley College campus are responsible to process transactions using a PCI compliant gateway, PCI Compliant hardware, or partner with MVC to utilize the College’s secure payment gateway system.

Violation of this policy, other concerns, and unforeseen incidents will be investigated by Information Technology Services. Appropriate action will be determined in collaboration with the College’s leadership team. 

This policy will be reviewed by the President’s Cabinet annually.
