Here is a great way to budget your college tuition-Academic and Continuing Education Payment Plans.   

Academic Payment Plans   

Payment Plans are available online. There is a payment plan for everyone. Payment Plans are available for each semester and have preset dates that determine the payment due date. The first payment is due upon enrollment in a payment plan. Enrollment in a plan is required before your payment deadline. Students who have not yet paid their balance for the respective part of term will be dropped from that term's classes.

PAYMENT PLANS  

  • Payments will automatically be deducted from the bank account authorized during sign-up on the dates indicated on the payment schedule.

  • A $10 Late Fee will be assessed if the payment is declined.

  • Accounts not paid by the final due date are subject to be sent to one of the Alamo Colleges District Collection Agencies, and you are responsible for any additional fees assessed.

  • Payment deadlines vary based on when you registered and your chosen plan. You choose a plan based on your registration enrollment or when your classes are offered.
