Pay Your Tuition
Summer 2024 tuition due date: May 13 or the day of registration if registering after.
Your tuition must be in a paid status to avoid late fees and/or the drop for non-payment/deregistration fees.
Use Financial Aid to Pay for Tuition
Students with finalized financial aid will start to see their aid post to their accounts 10 days prior to the start of the semester. Please view your account at my.cotc.edu. On the Student Financial Services card, select My Financial Aid. All pending financial aid will be viewable here. If you do not see your financial aid, please contact our office to determine why your aid is not pending. If your aid is not enough to cover your balance, you will need to make a payment out of pocket by the published due date.

Use the COTC tuition payment plan.
COTC offers a payment plan that will break your summer semester tuition into three installments:
- May 13
- June 13
- July 13
Once the form is submitted electronically and the first installment, plus the $21 service charge is paid, the student will be in a paid status for the semester. Reminder emails will be sent a week before each subsequent installment is due.
Use External Funding
External funding sources can be employer-funded assistance, third party or other agency assistance.
The deadline for submission of employer, third party, or agency sponsorship is the first Friday of classes each semester. Late submission will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and does not guarantee acceptance or processing of payment.
COTC does not accept employer, third party or agency sponsorship that is grade dependent in order for payment to be issued. COTC recommends submitting requests for College Savings, 529 or Ohio Tuition Trust payments 4-6 weeks before the start of the semester. Please include student name and COTC ID# on checks and mail to Student Financial Services Office, 1179 University Drive, Newark, OH 43055.
Use Veteran Benefits
COTC works with students receiving a variety of veteran’s benefits including VR&E, GI Bill®, Ohio National Guard Scholarship, Federal Tuition Assistance & Military Spouse Career Advancements Accounts (MyCAA). Please visit our Veteran’s Educational Benefits page for additional information about all of the benefits available and what your next steps should be.
Enter a Consortium Agreement
Many students take COTC classes while enrolled at another college, either to fulfill prerequisites or to earn their degree more quickly. Students participating in these courses at COTC may be able to receive various types of aid from their home institutions by initiating a consortium agreement between the two institutions. If you believe that this agreement may pertain to you, please contact Lisa Gangwer at gangwer.10@mail.cotc.edu or 740.366.9223.
