MJC Business Services aims to foster student success by providing payment options to students and their families which help meet financial responsibilities while maintaining financial integrity and accountability.
Our staff are available to help create a financial plan and offer payment options to cover school costs including:
A student must create a payment plan, qualify for financial aid, or pay their balance in full to avoid being dropped from their registered classes by the designated drop for non-payment deadline set for each term.
The MJC Business Services office accepts payments for all charges made to a student’s account including:
Pay online with a debit or credit card showing a Visa, MasterCard or Discover logo.
Pre-paid gift cards of any type are not accepted.
To review account information or download copies of your receipt, select the appropriate term from the Account Summary screen on your myMJC student portal.

MJC has partnered with Nelnet Campus Commerce to create a payment plan which helps students meet their tuition obligations for current and upcoming terms with monthly, interest-free payments.
Checks returned to Modesto Junior College for any reason may be considered as a non-payment of fees. MJC reserves the right to place a $25.00 fee, in addition to the original fee(s), on a student’s account for any check payment returned for any reason. Returned checks may result in the loss of the privilege to pay by check.
Any chargeback of card transactions paid to Modesto Junior College for any reason may be considered as a non-payment of fees. MJC reserves the right to place a $25.00 fee, in addition to the original fee(s), on a student’s account for any chargeback card transaction for any reason.
A $0 balance is required of students who wish to add additional fees to their account for products or services. This includes, but is not limited to, field trips, additional class materials, course audit fees, records and admissions fees, or contest entry fees.
Credits may appear on student accounts for different reasons, such as payment discrepancies, eligibility for financial aid, or changes in course registration. Students with a credit balance may carry this amount for two academic years before it is considered abandoned. Credits may be applied to any fees or charges incurred during this period. Any remaining credit which has not been requested for refund will be forfeited at the expiration of this time period.
Students are responsible for all tuition and fees of classes and services for which they are registered. Failure to attend classes will not release a student from this financial obligation to Modesto Junior College. It is the student’s responsibility to drop classes by the applicable deadlines as noted on the student’s class schedule and the posted class description.
Failure to pay all fees may result in restrictions placed on a student’s account to prohibit class registration or access to services on campus. Delinquent outstanding balances may result in the student account being sent to collections.
The Chancellor’s Office Tax Offset Program (COTOP) may be used to collect outstanding debts on an MJC student’s account. This program allows MJC to submit outstanding balances to the State of California for collection through the State Franchise Tax Board. Debt is offset or deducted from any state tax refunds and/or lottery winnings the student may be receiving. For more information, please contact MJC Business Services.
