Tuition Payment Plan
To help meet students' educational expenses, Southside is offering the Tuition Payment Plan for each semester through Nelnet Campus Commerce & Tuition Management Systems (TMS). For a non-refundable term fee of $25.00 (based on plan enrollment date), Nelnet/TMS allows you to pay your tuition in monthly payments. You can make payments automatically from a checking or savings account or by credit card. They also now accept credit card payments by phone. Please note that the company only accepts VISA, Discover and MasterCard. It is not a loan program, and there is no credit check. The earlier you enroll in the program, the more payment options you have; however, please remember that you can only sign up for the Payment Plan during registration periods (see dates below). To sign up use the Payment Plan option, which is found in the Account Inquiry screen of your Student Information System.
**************************************************************************
NEW!
- We are working with a new vendor and our plans have changed. Please refer to the schedule below for details.
- Students will pay a convenience fee of 2.7% for all transactions using credit or debit cards for payments in this program.
**************************************************************************
General Information
You must provide your checking, savings, or credit/debit card account information for this plan. Nelnet/TMS automatically drafts the monthly payments from the account you provide.
You must also provide an email address that is viewed often. If you use the school email address, you must check it periodically for emails from Nelnet/TMS and SVCC about your account. Effective correspondence depends on a valid email address (and phone number).
Termination Notice: If your initial enrollment fee/payment is not successful for any reason, Nelnet/TMS can terminate the agreement immediately. This is their policy, we can not re-activate those accounts. Also, upon two consecutive returned payments or three returned payments during the duration of the Nelnet/TMS payment plan option, a student's Nelnet/TMS agreement may be terminated and the student will be deleted from the courses associated with the agreement.
Additional Information (Zero balance vs Termination): Your Nelnet/TMS Payment Plan agreement will only be terminated if you pay off the entire balance before the last scheduled agreement draft, or financial aid has been posted to the account as a credit (this does not include anticipated aid). Agreements will remain active if you receive anticipated financial aid and will be adjusted according to the balance on the account - most of the time the anticipated aid will zero out the agreement. If at any time the financial aid is reduced or does not cover the total balance due, you will be responsible for the Nelnet/TMS drafts (according to the agreement you initiated).
Early Payoff of Plans (or Receiving Aid after you initiated the plan): Your Nelnet/TMS payments are set up through Nelnet/TMS and are disbursed to the college after the last day to drop with a refund (for all inactive accounts) or two weeks before the end of the term (for all active accounts). If you pay off your plan early, drop classes, or receive aid that will cover the total of your debt, and you don't need the plan to continue, you must contact Nelnet/TMS to inactivate the plan. You also need to be aware that if the account was active after the last day to receive a refund, the money paid on the account will not be sent to the college before the end of term. Therefore, refunds of any overpayments will be processed once that money has been disbursed to the college and the college has processed refunds.
TMS brochures with more information are available in the College's Admissions and Record Office, Business Office or Financial Aid Office and at all campus sites.
