Option to Pay Tuition in Increments
Students who are not eligible for financial aid may opt to pay their tuition in increments using the College tuition payment plan. The tuition payment plan allows students (and parents) to spread the cost of tuition out over a set number of payments easing the burden of paying for a college education.
The Tuition Payment Plan is only available Fall and Spring Semesters.
To enroll in the Tuition Payment Plan, log on to myBlueRidge and go to the “Tuition Payment Plan” link under “Student Finance, Helpful Links.”
About the Tuition Payment Plan
The 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 $30 per semester, nonrefundable Enrollment Fee that is charged by Nelnet to use their service.
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 Blue Ridge Community College.
Payments are processed on the fifth of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.
Enrollment in monthly payment plan is done entirely online. To enroll you must have your student ID number, your checking or savings account information, or credit card number, and the exact amount you owe.
