Payment Plan

Piedmont Technical College wants to make college as affordable as possible for you. To assist you in achieving your educational goals, a deferred payment plan administered by Nelnet is available.

This is a payment plan and not a loan – interest charges, finance charges and credit checks do not apply.

To Participate

  • Current term balance payment plan requires a $30 non-refundable enrollment fee is required each semester that student participates
  • Prior term balance payment plan requires a $30 non-refundable enrollment fee for the three and six month plans and a $50 non-refundable enrollment fee for the nine and twelve month plans. Only 3 prior term balance payment plan attempts allowed per aid year.
  • Checking or credit card account must be provided

How does it work?

  • Current term balance payment plan - Each payment will be debited against the account that you provide on the 5th (Fall) or the 20th (Spring and Summer) of the month and continue monthly until the balance is paid in full
  • Prior term balance payment plan - Each payment will be debited against the account that you provide on the 10th of the month and continue monthly until the balance is paid in full
  • If a checking account is provided, the monthly payment amount will be paid out of your checking or savings account by Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) method
  • If a credit card is provided, the monthly payment amount will be automatically charged to your credit card account

Where is the application?

The Automatic Payment Agreement application will be available through PTC Pathway.
