The College uses an online billing system called CCPay. Bills are issued electronically. When a statement is available for payment, students receive an email at their Connecticut College email address or a text message to their cell phone. Students can also add authorized payers – such as parents – to view their accounts, make payments and enroll in a payment plan. Only students can grant access to their accounts. The College cannot add parents or other users to CCPay due to the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Parents should speak to their student if they would like access to his or her account. Statements are usually emailed 30 days before payments are due. Access CCPay, the College's online billing system.

Student bills will also reflect any miscellaneous charges. In the Campus Life/Residential Living section, learn how to avoid charges for damaged rooms.
