How to Pay Tuition
Tuition and fees are charged each quarter and depend on the number of units you register. Cost may change each quarter, so tuition payments are due after you enroll in your classes. All other expenses, such as books and housing, are paid separately.
Payment Deadline
Tuition and fees must be paid in full (or payment plan set up) by the end of the second week of the quarter (first week in Summer). If you cannot pay by this date, your account will be put on hold. You will not be allowed to drop classes, receive your transcript, or enroll in future quarters.
- Credit/Debit Card: Pay online through MyPortal
- Cash: Pay at the Admissions & Records Office, Room 8101
- Flywire: Pay by bank transfer, credit/debit card, or local payment options depending on your country
For detailed instructions, payment policies, installment plans, refunds, and other acceptable payment methods, please visit the Foothill College Cashier's Office.
- U.S. Bank Account (Most Common): The student can open a U.S. bank account. The sponsor transfers tuition into this account, and the student pays Foothill College using a debit card or personal check.
- Authorized Payer: The student can add their sponsor as an "Authorized Payer/User" in the payment system through MyPortal to allow them to pay on the student's behalf.
- Student Account Direct Payment: The sponsor can pay directly with a credit card using the student's MyPortal login, provided by the student.
- International Bank Draft: The sponsor can mail the student an international bank draft in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank, payable to "Foothill College." The student brings this draft to the campus cashier (Admissions & Records Office, Room 8101).
