Fort Lewis College Payment Plan Terms
Fort Lewis College is now able to offer students a payment plan for the fall and winter terms to finance tuition, student and course fees, housing, meal plan and insurance. All other charges such as books, health center fees and parking or library fines are not eligible and are due as billed. Payment plans are optional and students must sign a new agreement each term if they wish to participate. Students may still choose to pay balances in full by the due date.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
Any student registered part-time or full-time is eligible. Continuing Education courses and Innovative Month programs are not eligible. The deadline for enrollment in the payment plan is census day of the term. Fall census day is September 11, 2007. Winter census day is January 22, 2008. Withdrawal from the term will cancel the contract and the outstanding balance is immediately due in full.
COST TO PARTICIPATE
A non-refundable $50.00 administrative fee is charged each term to offset additional costs of record keeping and billing. This fee is due in full with the Payment Plan Agreement and must be received by census day. The first installment is also due on census day.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN
Print and complete the form using your Fort Lewis College bill, Tuition and Fee Schedule, or WEBOPUS account summary. Make a copy for your records and mail the completed signed form along with the administrative fee and first payment to Fort Lewis College, 1000 Rim Drive 140 Berndt Hall, Durango, CO 81301. Changes to your course registration may result in additional charges to your student bill. The payment plan agreement will not include the new charges, which are due by the new bill due date. Revisions for additional charges may be made to the payment plan. A new application is required and the deadline is census day. An administrative fee will not be charged for the revision.
HOW DOES THE PLAN WORK
Eligible expenses may be paid in three installments. The first installment will include the non-refundable administrative fee plus the installment amount. The first payment is due by census day. Each subsequent payment is due on the 15th day of the next 2 months. Listed are the scheduled months: September, October, November –Fall January February, March – Winter
FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIPS and /or LOANS
Financial aid, grants, scholarships, and loans will be deducted from the total expense before the calculation of installment payment. Do not deduct work study. Deduct scholarships only if they will be received by census day.
WHAT IF I BECOME DELINQUENT
If you miss a payment, payment is not received by the due date, or if we receive an insufficient funds check, a hold will immediately be placed on your account. Two missed payments will result in the cancellation of your contract and may jeopardize future payment plan options. Payment is considered missed if it is not received by the due date, or is not for the installment amount. Payroll checks and other funds to be received by the debtor from the College must be applied toward repayment of this payment plan.
CANCELLED CONTRACTS
Withdrawal, dismissal or expulsion from the term will result in immediate cancellation of the contract, and balances are immediately due and payable. Fort Lewis College is required by the State of Colorado to submit all delinquent accounts to Central Collections with the State of Colorado. Should this become necessary, reasonable collections costs will be added to the amount due and shall be paid by the debtor. If the State of Colorado obtains judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction, the debtor shall be liable for the collection agency fee as well as reasonable court costs and attorney’s fees. These accounts will also be reported to credit agencies in your name.
HOW DO I MAKE PAYMENTS
Payments may be made in person at the Cashier’s window, by mail, by credit card on WEBOPUS or by calling (970)247-7380. We accept MC/VISA and Discover. The mailing address is Fort Lewis College 1000 Rim Drive 140 BH, Durango, CO 81301. Please record the student ID number on your check.
