College Expenses: What's Your Plan?
Paying for the rising costs of a college education is a concern for nearly every student and family. The fact is, few of us have the resources to simply write a check for the full cost of tuition each semester. So how are you meeting your costs? What’s your plan? Do you have one?
Having a solid plan for covering the cost of college is an important step toward graduation. South Suburban College is pleased to enlist the services of FACTS to make the process easier for you.
This page outlines payment solutions brought to you by FACTS Management Company, the leading tuition payment plan provider in the industry. Working together, South Suburban College and FACTS will provide you with sensible strategies for covering the rising costs of college.
Here is a Proven Plan
To help you meet your educational expenses, South Suburban College is proud to offer FACTS as a convenient budget plan ($100 minimum to budget). This is not a loan program. You have no debt, there are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check.
The cost to budget your interest-free monthly payment plan is a $25.00 per semester non-refundable FACTS Enrollment Fee. There is no fee to use the "Pay In Full By Credit Card" option.
All enrollment fees, down and full payments, will be processed immediately.
You may budget your College tuition and fees in the following ways:
A. 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. Payments 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 is paid in full.
There is no fee to use the "Pay in Full by Bank Account Transfer" option.
B. Credit Card Option
Scheduling your payment with your credit card gives you the option of taking advantage of any bonus programs that may be offered by your credit card company. Your monthly payment will be automatically charged to the credit card you designate. Payments will be charged on the 5th of each month until the balance is paid in full.

FACTS specifies the date each payment will occur, but it is your financial institution that determines the time of day the payment is debited. FACTS recommends you check with your financial institution to determine how far in advance funds should be deposited into your account to ensure the automatic payment clears. If a payment date falls on a weekend or banking holiday, the payment will be attempted the following business day.
