Guidelines for Installment Plans
Students are allowed to sign up for an installment plan for tuition and fees through NELNET Campus Commerce, a third party tuition management firm. Several guidelines have been established for the NELNET Installment Plan:
- Before applying for the installment payment plan, the student will need to obtain a personal identification number (PIN) from the Registrar’s Office. Students enrolling for the first time will be given a PIN as soon as their application is processed and they have been admitted to Brazosport College.
- Use of the NELNET Installment Plan requires the student to have either a checking, savings or credit card account.
- The student must pay a down payment of the total tuition and fees online by the Drop for Non-payment dates published in the annual Brazosport College Student Guide & Calendar booklet.
- A separate $25 non-refundable fee for Summer 2023 is charged by NELNET for processing the installment plan at the same time the down payment is collected. A separate $30 non-refundable fee for Fall 2023 is charged by NELNET for processing the installment plan at the same time the down payment is collected.
- The remaining tuition and fees are due per the designated contract after the original down payment.
- Students with payment plans who add, drop or cancel their classes will have their contract automatically adjusted before the next payment is processed.
- NELNET will assess a $30 missed payment fee for any rejected payments.
- Any unpaid balance will be turned over to a collection agency. The student will be responsible for any collection costs.
- By Texas law, “A STUDENT WHO FAILS TO MAKE A FULL PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES, INCLUDING ANY INCIDENTAL FEES, BY THE DUE DATE MAY BE PROHIBITED FROM REGISTERING FOR CLASSES UNTIL FULL PAYMENT IS MADE. A STUDENT WHO FAILS TO MAKE PAYMENT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE SEMESTER MAY BE DENIED CREDIT FOR THE WORK DONE THAT SEMESTER.” Texas Education Code, 54.007(d)
- The college will prohibit release of an official transcript of all credits earned until full payment of all amounts due and payable under the agreement have been made.
- Tuition Installments Payment Plans not paid in full by the final payment date will be assessed an invoice fee by The College equivalent to one hour of In-District tuition. ($65 for 2021-2022).
