    • Set up a Payment Plan

      You may enroll in a payment plan for current semester charges online only by visiting the payment plan website.  There is a non-refundable $30.00 enrollment fee for the payment plan per semester.  Once enrolled in the payment plan, the overall account balance will be broken into installments. Payment plan balances are evaluated daily and may increase or decrease due to registration changes, which may affect payment amounts.

      Monthly installments are processed the 15th of the month and cannot be extended for any reason. 

       

    • Pay by Mail

      *Please include your JC Student ID number on the front of the check

      Checks must be received by the payment due date or the student is at risk of being dropped from their class(es).

    • Third Party Sponsorships

      Jackson College makes arrangements with many companies and agencies who pay for student’s tuition and fees. We require the following information:

      1. Sponsor authorizations must be in the Business Office at least one business day prior to or no later than your payment due date or you risk losing your spot in the classes you have registered for due to non-payment. Vouchers submitted for payment or reimbursements are subject to sponsor contract. If a sponsor is authorizing a partial payment, the student will be responsible for the balance due. The student is responsible for dropping classes he/she does not intend to take.
      2. The following information must appear in the sponsor’s authorization letter:
        • Student Name
        • Student Number
        • Clear billing instructions
      3. Sponsored students must submit a new authorization letter or voucher each semester.
    • International Payments

      Jackson College has partnered with FlyWire to offer an innovative and streamlined way to make international tuition payments.  With FlyWire, you are offered excellent foreign exchange rates, allowing you to pay in your home currency (in most cases) and save a significant amount of money, as compared to traditional banks. In addition, the posting of the payment into your Jackson College account will be faster, you will be able to track where your payment is from start to finish
