Non-Financial Aid Refunds

Students are entitled to a refund of course fees when classes are dropped by the applicable 100% refund deadline published in the Academic Calendar. Students do not have to contact a campus Cashier's Office to receive a refund. An automated process will generate a refund approximately two weeks after the final drop/add date for each session.

Broward College has partnered with Nelnet Campus Solutions to offer a tuition payment plan to help students afford the cost of their education. Instead of paying tuition all at once, student may split term tuition cost into convenient monthly payments with zero interest. Student may sign up for a tuition payment plan for any term at BC. However, a new plan is required each term. The earlier a student signs up; the more plan options the student will have to choose from.

Plans can range from zero to 50% down payment with 2 to 4 monthly payments for Example:

Monthly payments are automatically processed on the 20th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.

There are no credit checks and student can choose their preferred payment method - even add authorized parties (like parents/guardian/spouse) to make payments on their behalf. 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.

The down payment, along with a $35, $40, or $45 non-refundable enrollment fee will be due at the time of signing up for the tuition payment plan. There is an additional $5 processing fee being collected on behalf of the institution. While most plans will pay the student's schedule within minutes of completing the sign-up process, students whose plan gets terminated by Nelnet and decides to sign up again, it could take up to one business day for processing and for the schedule to be paid. Therefore, students are advised to sign-up before their fee payment due date.

Sign up periods are limited and typically closed approximately one to three days prior to the start of session 1 of each term - so sign-up early!!

Schedule Changes
If student drop or add classes or receive financial aid or other tuition coverage, student must log into their Tuition Payment agreement to review any adjustment to agreement amount. Student must contact Nelnet if there are any concerns regarding their tuition payment plan adjustments. The time frame in which increases may be made to plans is limited to the sign-up period for the tuition payment plan. Once the sign-up period for the term has ended, if student drop a class, the agreement amount will automatically be decrease but will not increase if student decide to add another class.

Refunds
Nelnet will remit all refunds to the College within 60 days after the end of the add/drop period for session 1. When the funds are received from Nelnet, Broward College will issue tuition payment plan refunds to students who are no longer using the funds or only partially using the funds.
