BC Tuition Payment Plan
Learn about BC's payment plan and how you can make payments over time, rather than one lump sum.
General Information
The BC Tuition Payment Plan allows you to make several payments over time to avoid paying the full amount in one payment before the start of the quarter. The payment plan offers the following benefits:
- Signing up is easy using your ctcLink account and selecting the Nelnet Payment Plan. Nelnet Campus Commerce partners with the college as an approved third-party vendor
- Flexible payment options – Except for the initial down payment (when required – see below) you can choose the 5th, 10th or 20th to make your remaining payments.
- Automatic monthly payments with no interest
- Payment from your bank account (checking or savings), or
- Payment from your credit or debit card
For Example: If you sign up for the Winter Quarter plan on December 19 (see chart below) and you owe $1500 in tuition and fees:
- You pay 30% ($450) of your tuition and fees as a down payment
- You pay the remaining $1050 through two $525 automatic withdrawals in January & February – you choose the 5th, the 10th or the 20th to make your remaining payments
Please Note: A $25 non-refundable fee is charged each time you use the payment plan.
***Nelnet Payment Plan is NOT available for International Students***
Due to a scheduled system upgrade with Nelnet Campus Commerce, Nelnet payment plans will be unavailable from May to June 2025. Enrollment in the payment plan for the upcoming terms is scheduled to begin on or after June 30, 2025.
During this outage, you can submit the Payment Plan Intent Form to indicate your intention to sign up for the Nelnet payment plan for Summer 2025 once it is available. This will prevent your classes from being dropped for non-payment during the Nelnet outage.

*You must make your payments on time. The college blocks students with past due accounts from enrolling in classes for an upcoming quarter until the balance is paid in full.
**If your first payment fails, your payment plan will be TERMINATED and you will risk being DROPPED for non-payment
Adjusting Payment Amounts
To INCREASE your payment amount, make changes to your account by 2 p.m., and at least 10 calendar days before your next scheduled payment. For example: If your payment is due on January 20, you must make your change by 2 p.m. on January 10.
To DECREASE your payment amount, make changes to your account by 2 p.m., and at least two business days before your next scheduled payment. For example: If your payment is due on January 20, you must make your change by 2 p.m. on January 18.
