Birmingham-Southern is aware of the growing challenge of financing a quality liberal arts education today. Although the principal responsibility of financing a college education lies with the student's family, BSC is committed to assisting families with affordable payment options.
Students are responsible for ensuring all financial obligations are met by the published due dates.
Semester Payment
BSC requires payment for the semester (tuition, required fees, room and board) by the published due date. BSC does not consider "in process" financial aid or partial payment. A $100 late fee applies.
Semester Monthly Payment Plans
Birmingham-Southern in partnership with Nelnet Campus Commerce offers students interest-free payment plans to spread semester balances over four or five months.
Enrollment is easy! You can enroll online or by telephone. All you need to know is your semester balance and banking or credit card information. Nelnet charges a $50 enrollment fee each semester. Your payments are auto-drafted on the 15th of each month.
Telephone Enrollment - 1-800-609-8056
Payment plans do not rollover to the next term. Therefore, you will need to create a new payment plan each semester.
Your BSC student account and Nelnet account are not linked. For this reason, if adjustments are made to your BSC student account, you will need to contact Nelnet to adjust your payment plan.
Self Service & E-BILL
All student account statements are communicated through the College's internet-based system for electronic billing and payment, Self-Service. Account information is available 24/7 via Self-Service.
Monthly email notifications are sent to student's official BSC email in the form of an E-Bill. Parents do not receive E-Bill notifications. BSC only mails two paper statements each year. Fall semester statements are mailed in June. Spring semester statements are mailed in November. Payments not received by the due date are subject to a $100 late fee.

International Payments - FLYWIRE
BSC has partnered with Flywire to streamline the tuition payment process for international students. Flywire offers excellent foreign exchange rates and significant savings to International students and their families. Go to www.flywire.com for additional information.
Person Proxy
Person Proxy is a Self-Service option that provides you the power to grant your parents or guardians access to view your student account, financial aid, and grades. The person you grant access is called a 'proxy'.
Bookstore Charging Privileges
As long as your account is in good standing, BSC allows you to charge bookstore items directly to your student account by using your student ID card. Charges are due in full by the end of the month the charge occurred. BSC reserves the right to revoke charging privileges without consult.
Delinquent Payment Plan Accounts
Payment plan participants are required to make consecutive monthly payments as scheduled. Accounts with two consecutive missed payments or two returned checks will be canceled from the payment plan. Once canceled, the due date will revert back to the original due date of the prospective term. The student's full balance becomes due. Cancellation from the payment plan prevents future payment plan enrollment. BSC reserves the right to deny payment plan privileges without consult.
BSC Payment Policy
Payment policies are strictly enforced. Enrollment constitutes a contractual financial obligation to pay all tuition and fees and related costs of attendance. If payment is not received by the due date, a $100 late payment fee is assessed and a financial hold is placed on the student's account, preventing enrollment and on-campus housing. Pre-registered courses are subject to cancellation.
Students who decide not to attend some or all of their courses are required to officially withdraw. Otherwise, students will be held responsible for all charges.
Students who do not pre-register for courses for future terms will not receive a bill and will be required to register and pay in person. Full payment plus a $100 Late Registration Fee will be required to confirm registration.
Delinquent Accounts and Financial Holds
The privilege of registration and access to services and facilities will be denied to students who have been placed on financial hold. A financial hold will prevent students from enrolling in courses, moving into campus housing, obtaining a transcript, graduating or receiving a diploma.
Although the college would prefer not to use such remedies, BSC has the right to impose the following measures due to delinquent accounts:
- Registration cancellation
- Eviction from student housing
- The extension of credit and provision of services, grade reports, transcripts, diplomas, and graduation is denied
- Accounts are submitted to an outside collection agency
Financial holds can only be released by payment of the overdue balance.
