About the Installment Payment Plan
Paying for the rising costs of a college education is a concern for nearly every student and family. The fact is, few of us have the resources to simply write a check for the full cost of tuition each semester. So how are you meeting your costs? What’s your plan? Do you have one?
Having a solid plan for covering the cost of college is an important step toward graduation. College of Lake County is pleased to enlist the services of Nelnet Campus Commerce Management Company, the leading tuition payment plan provider in the industry, to make the process easier for you. Working together, CLC and Nelnet Campus Commerce will provide you with sensible strategies for covering the rising costs of college.
Here Is a Proven Plan
To help you meet your educational expenses, College of Lake County is proud to offer the Installment Payment Plan as a convenient budget plan. This is not a loan program. There are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check. The cost to budget your interest-free monthly payment plan is a non-refundable enrollment fee of $25 for Spring, $15 for Summer and $25 for Fall. You may budget your tuition and fees in the following ways:
- Automatic Bank Payment (ACH)
ACH payments are those payments you have authorized Nelnet Campus Commerce to process directly with your financial institution. Such payments are simply bank-to-bank transfers of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at CLC. Payments may be made from either your checking or savings account, and will continue until the balance is paid in full.
- Credit Card Option
Paying with your credit card gives you the option of taking advantage of any bonus programs that may be offered by your credit card company. Your monthly payment will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate.
- Information for recipients of Financial Aid or Veteran benefits
