Payment Plans If the cost of your program is less than $1000 you must pay for it in full before the first day of class. However, if the cost of your program is $1000 or more, you may choose a Payment Plan: Payment Plan A: This Payment Plan is available if your program costs between $1000 and $7999. If you choose this payment plan, your program costs will be divided into two (2) equal payments. Your first payment will be due before classes start, and your second payment will be due at the program mid-point. The Customer Services Coordinator will notify you of specific due dates. Payment Plan B: This payment plan is available if your program costs $8000 or more. If you choose this payment plan, your program costs will be divided into three (3) equal payments. Your first payment will be due before classes start, and your second and third payments will be due at equal intervals thereafter. The Customer Services Coordinator will notify you of specific due dates. Note: The due date for your first payment will be extended by 30 days if you are a financial aid recipient. We reserve the right to revoke your Payment Plan if you do not make timely payments. If your Payment Plan is revoked, you must pay your outstanding balance in full to avoid removal from the program/course. Paying for Repeat Courses There is no Payment Plan option for repeat courses. Costs for repeat courses must be paid in full prior to the start of the trimester in which the repeat will occur. This policy applies only to Practical Nursing students. Effect of Withdrawal and Termination on Program Costs If you officially withdraw or are terminated from a program: Before the start date—We will keep your deposit but waive the remainder of your program costs. On the first, second, or third day of the program—We will keep your deposit plus charge you $10 for each scheduled program hour that has elapsed. On or after the fourth day of the program—You will be charged a percentage of the program costs depending on the number of scheduled hours that have elapsed in the term. If less than 10% of the term has elapsed, you will be charged 50% of the term costs. If 10% or more of the term has elapsed, you will be charged 100% of the term costs. We will apply your deposit to the amount you owe.
If you stop attending classes but do not complete a
Withdrawal Form, we will officially withdraw you on your third day

Programs, such as STNA, have only one term. Refunds Refunds must be requested in writing from the Customer Services Coordinator. All refunds are paid by check from the Columbus City Schools Treasurer.
