Payment Plan: Overview

To help you meet your educational expenses, Aims Community College and Nelnet Business Solutions have partnered to offer easy payment plans as a convenient way to budget college expenses. MyPaymentPlan is a tuition management plan that provides you with a low cost option for budgeting tuition.  It is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check. The only cost to budget monthly payments through MyPaymentPlan is a $25 per semester nonrefundable enrollment fee. The enrollment fee is automatically deducted IMMEDIATELY of completing the agreement online.

*Full payment through MyPaymentPlan or other methods does NOT put you on a payment plan.  If you pay in full through MyPaymentPlan or the Aims Community College Business Center and then add classes later, BEFORE the Full Term add/drop deadline for the semester you will need to pay the balance at the time in which the classes are added or ALL of your classes will be dropped. If you add a class AFTER the Full Term Add/Drop deadline, the total balance owed for tuition is due in full by the Final Payment deadline. Daily drops occur starting with the First Payment deadline thru the Full Term Add/Drop Deadline.

**Partial Payments made in person, by mail or through the Aims CC Business Center do NOT put you on a payment plan.  Partial payments are accepted through the First Payment deadline, but if you wish to continue making partial payments you will need to sign up for an MyPaymentPlan by the First Payment deadline or ALL of your classes will be dropped. If you register between the First Payment and the Full Term Add/Drop deadline for the semester, you will need to sign up for an MyPaymentPlan the SAME day of registration or all your classes will be dropped that night.

You do not have to sign up for MyPaymentPlan if you have at least ONE of the following in place by the payment deadlines

• Be awarded financial aid, other than work study, for the term (have received Aims award letter)
• Submitted a 3rd Party Tuition Authorization
• Submitted the UNC/CSU Cooperative Agreement
• Submitted required paperwork for private scholarship
• Submitted all required paperwork for the High School Concurrent Enrollment Program

(if the above does not cover your Tuition and Fees entirely, you will need to make payment arrangements with the Cashiers Office to pay the remaining amount owed, by you the student, per the published deadlines.)

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MyPaymentPlan: If you make any changes to your student tuition account (ie: add/drop courses, make payment directly to the college, financial aid applies, etc) within 5 business days of the next payment to be drafted by NBS, that payment WILL NOT be affected and will draft the payment per the schedule. Aims CC updates the NBS system every Wednesday evening and the 1st of each month with account balances as of 8pm that night. The responsible party will need to be prepared to make that payment per the scheduled date if account changes are made/posted within 5 business days of the scheduled payment draft.
