POL 2.305 Deferred Tuition Payment
When students are unable to pay the entire personal payment portion of their tuition bill by the published due date, students in good financial standing may enroll in a no-interest deferred payment plan. The balance is to be paid in full, prior to the semester end date, according to scheduled installments. The Student Financial Services Office may, on a case by case basis, extend the payment due date for students showing hardship, when it is their professional opinion the student is capable of completing payment within the semester.
Tuition deferrals are granted to veterans and active-duty service members receiving educational benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs or Department of Defense for specific programs that pay tuition and fees directly to the College. A student whose employer offers direct payment to the College must provide written authorization from the employer describing the conditions of such an arrangement.

2.305 Deferred Tuition Payment Procedure
Veterans Affairs (VA) reviews and enforces policies governing enrollment certification and payment of veterans’ educational benefits. Students receiving VA educational benefits need to be aware of the following information that will affect receipt of benefits while enrolled at Kirtland Community College.
Kirtland Community College will not impose penalties upon any student using Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 VA education benefits who is unable to meet their financial obligations to the college, due to delayed payment of tuition/fees from the VA. Chapter 33 students must submit a copy of their VA Certificate of Eligibility letter to Student Financial Services. Chapter 31 students must submit an authorization from their VA Vocational counselor.
Students utilizing those benefits are also required to submit a Veterans Benefit Certification Request Form each semester, prior to the billing due date for that semester. Students with Post 9/11 GI Bill®® eligibility of less than 100% will be required to pay the difference between their financial obligation, and the amount expected from the VA, prior to the established due date, unless other arrangements are made by mutual agreement with Student Financial Services.
