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 Summer Quarter plan on June 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 July & August – you choose the 5th, the 10th or the 20th to make your remaining payments
Please Note: For Summer 2023, a $25 non-refundable fee is charged each time you use the payment plan. Beginning with Fall 2023 and thereafter, a $35 non-refundable fee is charged each time you use the payment plan.
***Nelnet Payment Plan is NOT available for International Students***

*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
