Alternative Loan Options
Tuition Installment Plan
To assist the student to meet his or her educational expenses, Pensacola State College provides the Tuition Installment Plan (TIP) for college credit students. There is a non-refundable enrollment fee and required down-payment due at the time of agreement. Students can request the Tuition Installment Plan by logging on to Workday and accessing the Finances application. Under My Account, click Nelnet - Make a Payment or Enroll in a Payment Plan.
Private Education Loans
The College does not certify private education loans.
Payment Deadlines
All fees on a class schedule must be paid in full by the fee payment date. Any classes for sessions A/B/C/D registered for after the due date for each session must be paid on the date of registration.
Payment Refunds
Payment for tuition and fees can be made online via Workday and accessing the Finances application. Under my Account: click Nelnet - Make a Payment or Enroll in a Payment Plan or in the Office of Student Financial Services at one of the three campuses near you.
1. Refunds result from classes dropped by the student prior to the end of the published schedule adjustment period (drop and add period) and for classes which are canceled by the College. A FULL REFUND OF FEES PAID WILL BE GIVEN IF PROPER PROCEDURES FOR DROPPING A CLASS ARE FOLLOWED. Students can request by logging on to Workday and use the task Create Request.
2. A drop is different from a withdrawal. A drop will result in the elimination of the dropped class(es) from the student’s permanent record (transcript). A dropped class does not affect the student’s academic standing. A withdrawal will result in a letter grade of “W” in each class from which the student withdraws or is withdrawn. Withdrawals are included in the calculation of a student’s academic standing.
3. The policies and procedures related to refunds for non-credit classes offered through the Center for Corporate and Professional Development Training can be found online at Continuing Education.
4. Refunds are processed to Bank Mobile within two weeks after the end of the published schedule adjustment period each term. Refunds of $5 or less will not be processed unless specifically requested by the student.
5. Exceptions to this refund policy may be authorized by the President or designee when extenuating circumstances support an exception to the refund policy.
Employer or Third-Party Sponsor
All source documents from the employer or third-party sponsor (on company letterhead) must be submitted to the Office of Student Financial Services or email to cashier@pensacolastate.edu for paying tuition/fees or books/supplies.
Textbook Affordability
Cost of Books and Supplies
Textbooks, workbooks, and necessary school supplies may be purchased at the College bookstores or online. The cost of these items varies with the program of the student. Some programs require the student to purchase additional materials. A large supply of used books is also available at a discount at the College bookstores located on all three campuses. When available, books may also be rented through the College bookstore. For more bookstore information, please visit the PSC Bookstore.
Delinquent Financial Obligations / Returned Checks
Grades, transcripts, and other student records will not be released to those students who owe parking fines or library fines. Payments on library fines are collected at the Library. Payments on parking fines are collected at the Office of Student Financial Services.
Students with delinquent financial obligations, including loans, veteran deferments, Federal Direct Loan deferments, returned checks, and student financial aid over awards will not be allowed to register, to obtain transcripts, or other student records until all obligations have been satisfied. All costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the College in collecting the debt are the responsibility of the student.
Students who have defaulted on a Federal student loan are not eligible for further federal or state financial aid nor may their college transcripts be released until such time as the student makes documented satisfactory repayment arrangements.
It is a violation of Florida law to give a worthless check or to stop payment on a check given to satisfy a valid obligation. It is not acceptable for students to stop payment on a check in order to drop classes. Students must follow proper procedures to drop classes for a refund. Students who do not pay for checks returned as uncollectible will be administratively withdrawn from all classes; withdrawal does not relieve the student of responsibility for payment of the obligation. Students may apply for reinstatement after the obligation has been satisfied. Students who give uncollectible checks are subject to prosecution by the College to the fullest extent provided by law. All costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the College in collecting the debt are the responsibility of the student.
