Setting Up a Payment Plan

Setting up a payment plan in IBOD

Payment plans are offered for the convenience of students and authorized users who would like to spread out the payment of outstanding student account balances instead of paying in full by the payment deadline. 

  • A $30.00 set up fee is charged to the student account when a payment plan is set up.
  • A $25.00 late fee is charged to the student account for each installment not paid on time.
  • Changes to the student account balance after the payment plan is set up will change the amount of remaining installments.
  • E-mail notifications are sent to students and authorized users alerting them to upcoming payments and any changes in the installment amounts due.
  • Automatic payments may be tied to a bank account or credit card for ease of payment.
  • Payments received on a student account are applied to the earliest installments remaining unpaid in the payment plan. If financial aid is received after the payment plan is set up, the first installment(s) may be completely paid. It is important not to forget the remaining installment(s)!

    3. Review the payment plan contract. Please note that installment amounts are subject to change. You may print a copy for your records.
    4. If you are ready to finalize the plan select “I Agree” and “Continue.” Please note that the payment plan has not been set up until this step is completed.
    5. A confirmation e-mail will be sent verifying that the payment plan has been set up. If no e-mail is received, please contact the Business Office.

A Couple of Warnings about Automatic Payments

  • If a credit card is used as a payment method for automatic payments be certain it will not expire during the term of the payment plan. Automatic payments scheduled for an expired credit card will not be processed.
  • Automatic payments scheduled for a bank account with insufficient funds will not be processed and overdraft charges may apply, in addition to an installment late fee.
