Payment Plan
Tyler partners with Nelnet, an outside company, to allow students to pay tuition in monthly, interest-free payments for a small, non-refundable fee. There is no credit check or interest charged to participate in the payment plan.
Payments are made automatically from the bank account (checking or savings) or credit card you specify. There is an additional fee assessed for using a credit card and Nelnet only accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa.
Spring and Summer 2022 Payment Plan Options and Schedule
Down payments are immediate, and the agreement is binding. Once you have signed your Nelnet agreement, you must continue to make payments to Nelnet as outlined in your plan. Do not make payments directly to Tyler.
The deadlines to enroll in the payment plan are NOT the same as John Tyler Community College’s tuition payment due dates.
How to Enroll in the Payment Plan
You must first register for classes before signing up for the payment plan. Students who choose to enroll in the payment plan will have contracts automatically initiated for the total amount of their current tuition and fees. Financial aid and third-party payments cannot be factored in with the payment plan. You can enroll in the payment plan by creating an account with Nelnet or through the Student Information System (SIS) in myTyler system. Applications can only be submitted online.

After a payment plan contract has been completed, classes associated with the contract will be held until full payment has been received from Nelnet. Periodically, contract balances will be automatically adjusted up or down to match changes in tuition and fee balances during general registration periods. Adding or dropping classes will change your Nelnet initial contract balance, and your installment payments will be adjusted accordingly. All requests to adjust contracts must be made through Nelnet.
By applying for the plan you confirm that you agree to the terms and conditions as noted above. Please read all terms and conditions carefully.
