March marks the middle of the semester and it’s essential to touch base on the academic journey of our students. With midterms upon us, we understand the focus and dedication student are putting into exams, papers and projects. We want to extend our support to both you and your student during this crucial period.
As spring break approaches, we urge students to prioritize their safety and well-being, whether they’re traveling or staying on campus. We wish all our students safe travels and a restful break before they return to tackle the remainder of the semester.

It’s a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with your student and experience a glimpse of their university life.

Greetings from Janice Cosey, Bursar
Spring Break is around the corner for the students which begins Monday, March 11 through Sunday, March 17. Hopefully plans are being made to create memories.
ACH/Direct Deposit is a secure option and the quickest method to receive a refund, if applicable. We continue to encourage students to set up the option via MyMocsNet account. Paper checks are mailed to the permanent address on file, which can take 5-10+ days via USPS.
If the Tuition Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) was utilized for the Spring Semester, the third payment was due March 1 and the final payment is due on April 1. A late fee of $50 is applied on the 4th of the month if the scheduled payment is not received. Please note that an unpaid balance can affect future registrations. On April 2, holds will be placed on all student accounts with an outstanding balance.
The 1098T was available via student’s MyMocsNet account on January 31. This is a document that each student should have for tax related processes.
If you have general questions, please contact our office at 423.425.4781 or email us at Bursars-Office@utc.edu. The office is open Monday – Friday from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm.
