Payment in Full

Students taking credit-courses will pay for their classes using a payment portal provided by Nelnet Campus Commerce.  The portal may be accessed directly through Ocean Connect.  Students may pay with a credit or debit card or sign up for a payment plan.  An option also allows students to enter banking information to have payments automatically debited from a checking or savings account.

The payment gateway can be found by clicking on “Student Finance” and selecting “Make a Payment”.  The Payment link at the top connects to the OCC/Nelnet site.  Students can also access this site directly via my college payment plan.

 Students can also pay in full at the Student Enrollment Building with a check, money order or cash. Checks or money orders should be made payable to Ocean County College. Checks or money orders must include the student’s name and student I.D. number. The college also accepts cash payment.

 A charge of $25 will be assessed for all checks issued to the college and not paid upon presentation to the bank. Once a personal check is returned by a bank to the college it will not be re-deposited nor will the college accept another personal check in its place. Instead, payment must be made in cash or by certified check or money order.

Once payment has been made, the check cannot be returned to the student if the student changes their mind about attending. Likewise, the student should not process a stop payment order at their bank. The college will treat a stop payment as a returned check and will apply the $25 returned check charge. Instead, the student should go to The HUB or online and process a drop form. The college will in turn generate a refund check in the appropriate amount.

Monthly Payment Plan

Payment plans are available to divide tuition and fee payments into more manageable installments.  Payments are calculated based on the balance after pending financial aid and scholarships are considered.  There is a $30 non-refundable enrollment fee per semester. Visit the OCC/Nelnet site referenced above for current payment plan schedules.
