Payment Procedure
Pathways College will bill students for tuition and any applicable fees by the end of the second week of the first term of the trimester. Students are given two weeks to make their payments via Paypal on the Campus Cafe portal. Pathways College understands that circumstances out of the control of the student may arise. If any such circumstance should arise, it is up to the student to reach out to the Registrar within those initial two weeks to discuss payment plan options. If a student does not make any payment, they are subject to a Financial Hold placed on their account. This Financial Hold will prevent them from enrolling in the next term. The Financial Hold may be lifted if a student makes financial payment arrangements with the Financial Services Department and honors the payment agreement. If this payment agreement is not honored, the student will remain on a Financial Hold and will not be able to enroll in a future term and will be unable to collect Official Transcripts.

Pathways College Financial Plan Policy & Procedure
Payment Options
Each term, students can either pay in full prior to starting their first course(s) or enroll in a payment plan. Students can choose from the following payment options:
Semester Payment Plan
Tuition for each semester is paid over 4 months. Each semester there is a down payment of $250.00 per course. The down payment is due on or before the first day of class. The remaining payments begin the second week of class or by the 10th of each month. The $250.00 down payment is nonrefundable.
Please note the examples below are for 12 credits per semester. Students can take up to 18 credits per semester.
For example:
Semester 12 credit hours x $206= $2,472/4 month (16 weeks) minus down payment $250.00 = $2,222.00/ 4 months = $555.50 per month or $148.00 per week.
9 credit hours x $206. = $1,854/4 months (16 weeks) minus down payment $250.00 = $1604.00 = $401 per month or $106.93 per week.
3 credit hours x $206.00 = $618 for 5-week class minus the down payment $250.00 = $368.00 single class or $93.00 per week.
Academic Year Payment Plan
20% down, remainder due over 12 months.
Example, 12 cr. Hours x $206.00 = $2,472 x 3 semesters = $7416 - $1483.20 (20%) = $5,932/12 mo. = $494.40 per month, $123.60 per week. First payment for the student would be $1606.80 (down payment of 20% plus first week of repayment)
The signed Financial Plan and down payment is due on or before the first day of class.
The remaining payments are due by the 10th of each month or by Monday of each week depending on your agreed upon Financial Plan. Weekly payment plans begin the second week of class. There is a $25 late fee for payments received after the due date or payments less than the full monthly installment amount.
If payment has not been made on the due date a notice will be sent to students in their online course room in Canvas and to the student’s Pathways College email. The DOE (Director of Enrollment) or representative of Pathways College, Inc. (PCI) will reach out to students via phone and text to communicate outstanding balance.
If the payment reaches 3 days past due, the student will be placed on a registration hold and blocked from their course by the Registrar or PCI representative until payment has been made. The DOE will continue to reach out to the students to assist in getting them back on track with their payments.
