Can I view my account online?

Does Chattanooga State offer any type of payment plan for my tuition/fees?

Yes, Chattanooga State offers an easy payment plan of three installments during the fall and spring semester as follows:

  1. 50% of all fees are due at the time of registration
  2. 25% is due 30 days later
  3. 25% and final payment is due 30 days after the second payment

To take advantage of our Deferred Fee Payment Plan you must enroll prior to making your first payment. You have the option to sign up for the plan online through TigerWeb  or you can sign up at any Chattanooga State campus. There is a $25 initial setup fee and a late fee of $25 for each late payment. The payment due dates will be published each semester on Chattanooga State's Web Site.

Is there a calendar that lists the deadlines in order to drop a class and get a refund?

Yes, for more information please review our Refund Information.

Can my parent or guardian make a payment for me?

Yes, a student can set up one or multiple authorized users on their Student Account Profile.

If a refund is determined to be credited back to me, what is the procedure to receive that refund?

Refund percentages are based on billable hours, not amounts paid. Students who officially withdraw from school entirely, full-time students who drop to part-time or part-time students who drop one or more classes may be entitled to a refund. If a student receives any financial aid, refunds will first be credited to the appropriate source. No refunds will be issued until the end of the refund period. Stopping payment on a check does not constitute proper withdrawal or a refund of fees paid. (A $30.00 fee will be charged for any returned checks.) For further information please review our Refund Information.

Please notify Admissions or the Registrar of any address/mailing changes.
