Student Accounts

Office of the Bursar · Room A-116 · ext. 2180 · Cal Tumey, Bursar

Billing

Charges are posted to the student account at registration and are shown in DroverNet, under Student Account. The College does not mail paper statements. Notice that a statement is available is sent by DroverMail. Charges are those published in the Schedule of Charges, including the program charges listed under Fees by Program. The spring 2027 payment deadline is Friday, January 8, 2027.

Payment

• In DroverNet, by card or electronic check
• In person at Room A-116, by check, money order, or cash; a receipt is issued for every cash payment
• By mail, payable to Bellweather College of Applied Technology, with the student’s College ID number
• In installments, through a payment plan

Third-party billing

Charges may be billed to a sponsor, an employer under a written agreement, a WIOA voucher, or another agency. A written authorization from the payer must be on file with the Bursar before the payment deadline. Charges the payer does not cover remain the student’s responsibility. Amounts refunded on a sponsored account are returned to the payer.

Holds and late payment

A balance more than 30 days past due accrues a $25 monthly late payment charge and results in a registration and transcript hold. The hold is released when the balance is paid or a payment plan is current. A returned payment is charged $30.

Credit balances

Where federal aid credited to the account exceeds allowable charges, the credit balance is paid to the student within 14 days, as federal regulations require, by direct deposit to an account on file or by check mailed to the address on file. A student may authorize the College in writing to hold a credit balance on the account for later charges in the same award year, and may revoke the authorization at any time. Refunds of charges on withdrawal are paid under the Refund Policy (Policy 5.20).

Collections

The College is a state institution of higher education under Ohio law. An unpaid balance owed to the College is certified to the Office of the Ohio Attorney General for collection. Once a balance is certified, collection costs are added by the Attorney General, payment is made to the Attorney General and not to the College, and the College cannot waive or adjust the certified amount. A student with a past-due balance is notified in writing before certification and may contact the Bursar to arrange payment.

Tax forms

IRS Form 1098-T is available in DroverNet by January 31 for the preceding calendar year. A paper copy is mailed on request. The College does not provide tax advice; questions about education tax credits should be directed to a tax preparer or to the IRS.

Who may discuss an account

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Bursar staff discuss an account only with the student or with a person the student has designated as an authorized user in DroverNet. This applies to parents, spouses, and sponsors, including those who pay the account.
