Online Tuition Payment Plan

Interest-Free Monthly Payment Plan

To help you meet your educational expenses, Western Piedmont Community College is proud to offer a convenient monthly Tuition Payment Plan from Nelnet Business Solutions.

The monthly payment plan is not a loan program or financial aid. 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 $25 per semester, nonrefundable Enrollment Fee that is charged by Nelnet to use their service. Enrollment in the monthly payment plan is done entirely online. To enroll you must have your student ID number, and your checking or savings account information, or credit card number.

You may finance your tuition and fee expenses using either your credit card or Automatic Bank Payments (ACH) from your checking or savings account. ACH payments are those payments you have authorized Nelnet to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at Western Piedmont Community College.

Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full. A minimum balance due of $100 is required to set up a Tuition Payment Plan.

ADD/DROP – If a student ADDS or DROPS classes it is imperative that they inform the Business Office at 828.448.3106 in order to make sure their balance is accurate. The student is responsible for all payments and notification of any changes to the payment plan agreement.
