FACTS Deferred Tuition Plan
To help you meet your educational expenses, South Suburban College is pleased to offer FACTS as a convenient budget plan. FACTS is a tuition management plan that provides you with a low cost option for budgeting tuition and other educational expenses. It is not a loan program; therefore, you have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed and there is no credit check. The only cost to budget monthly payments through FACTS is a $25.00 per semester non-refundable enrollment fee. The enrollment fee is automatically deducted within 14 days of the day the agreement is posted to the FACTS system.
How FACTS Works
Register on-line at http://www.southsuburbancollege.edu/admit/facts/index.html or complete and sign the FACTS Automatic Tuition Payment Agreement available at the Cashier’s Office. You may budget your tuition and fees one of two ways:
- Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) – ACH payments are those payments you have authorized FACTS to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at South Suburban College. Payment may be made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 5th of each month and will continue until the balance due the College is paid in full.
- Credit Card Option – Many students and families have requested the option of charging their monthly tuition payment to Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. This enables you to take advantage of various bonus programs offered by your credit card company. If you elect to budget your educational expenses by using your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover card, your credit card will automatically be charged on the 5th of each month. The payment amount is specified on the FACTS Agreement and will continue until the balance is paid in full.
For more information, please contact the Business and Accounting Services Office at (708) 596-2000 ext. 2216.
