Q. Do you offer payment plans? Is there a deadline?
A. Broward College has partnered with Nelnet Business Solutions to offer a tuition installment plan to help students afford the cost of their education. Students may enroll in a tuition payment plan for any term at BC; however, a new plan is required each term. The earlier a student enrolls, the more plan options the student will have to choose from.There are no credit checks and no interest. The student must be registered for courses and provide a method of payment (credit card or checking/savings account) that will be used for the enrollment fee, down payment and monthly payments.

Eligibility / Prior to Enrolling:

• To be eligible for a payment plan, you must not have an outstanding balance debt from a prior term.

Enrollment Deadlines:

• IMPORTANT: Tuition Payment Plan enrollment periods are limited and close on the day before the start of Session 1 each term.
• Current enrollment dates/deadlines and fees can be viewed at https://www.broward.edu/students/cashier/. Students can enroll in a payment plan until the day before the start of each term. Payment plan deadlines are posted on the Nelnet site. If you have passed the deadline to arrange a payment plan, you must make other payment arrangements. The plan will open again prior to the next term.
• Once the enrollment period for a payment plan has ended, you cannot enroll into a payment plan.

To set up a payment plan:

• Step 1: Log into myBC
• Step 2: Click on the My Financials tab
• Step 3: Select Sign Up Options
• Step 4: Select option Tuition Payment Plan

The down payment, along with a $35, $40, or $ 45 non-refundable enrollment fee will be due at the time of enrollment in the tuition payment plan – $5 of the enrollment fee is being collected on behalf of the institution. While most plans will pay the student’s schedule within minutes of completing enrollment, it may take up to one business day for processing, so students are advised to enroll before their fee payment due date. Tuition payment plan coverage will be applied to the student’s schedule by 2pm of the next business day.

Payment Methods:

• Automatic ACH (checking or savings)
• VISA, Master Card, Discover, and American Express credit/debit cards
• Monthly payments are automatically processed on the 20^th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full. You can choose to set your payment plan up on automatic bank payment (ACH) or credit/debit card.
• Note: The Business/Cashiers Office does not accept payment plan payments in person. They must be set up and paid online.
