METHODS OF TUITION PAYMENT

In Person
At any campus Business Office during regular office hours and registration hours. You may pay in person with cash, check, money order or accepted credit cards (VISA, MasterCard & Discover). If Anticipated Financial Aid is shown for the particular semester and sufficient to cover your tuition and fee balance in full, no action is required. Classes will be held as long as the account balance does not exceed the anticipated aid for that particular semester. Account balances that occur from a shortage of semester-anticipated financial aid must be paid in full by college payment deadlines.

Online
You may pay online with a Visa, MasterCard or Discover credit card, eCheck from a checking or savings account. Instructions for paying online using QuikPay.

Payment by Third Party
Requirement for all third party sponsorships: Students who anticipate an employer or other third-party sponsor, including external scholarships, to be responsible for tuition expenses should contact the Central Business Office at 523-5186 prior to registration to determine documents required of the sponsor. Once registered, students must contact a campus Business Office each semester they wish to utilize their external sponsorship and have their tuition and fees charged to their participating sponsor, which includes tuition and fee charges that should be paid from the Virginia College Savings Plan program or a student’s private scholarship account currently on file at the college. Students utilizing Virginia College Savings Plan should email the Business Office (VPEP@reynolds.edu) after registration is in place. Students sponsored through Bon Secours programs should email the Business Office (busoffice@reynolds.edu) upon registration. All students whose sponsorship letters do not authorize payment for the entire cost of tuition and fees, are responsible for and must pay any and all balances prior to college payment deadlines before the sponsorship is applied against the student account. Failure to remit payment in a timely manner may result in the removal of enrollment of any and/or all courses.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nelnet Payment Plan [back to top]
If you need additional assistance you may call the Central Business Office at 804-523-5186.

I don’t have a checking account, savings account, or credit card. Can I still enroll in the program?

No. In order to enroll in the Nelnet Payment Plan, you must have a bank account or credit card.

I only have a Visa. Can I still enroll in Nelnet?

No. Nelnet currently accepts American Express, Discover, or MasterCard only.

Is there an additional fee for using a credit card instead of a bank account?

Yes. Nelnet charges an additional fee for using a credit card.

How much is the fee that is charged for using a credit card?

The amount of the fee is based upon the amount of tuition.

When will the enrollment fee be taken out of my account?

The enrollment fee payment is taken out immediately.

When is the down payment taken from my bank account or charged to my credit card?

The down payment is taken out immediately.

I enrolled in Nelnet and the down payment has been taken out but when I check my student account online it still shows a balance, why?

JSRCC and Nelnet computer systems are separate; therefore even though payments are being taken out by Nelnet it will still show a balance on the school’s system. Once the College receives funds from Nelnet near the end of the semester we can post those payments to your JSRCC college account. If you were current on all your payments with Nelnet this should zero out your balance with the school.

Increases will automatically be made only through May 24, 2012. Students who wish to have their payment plan contract balances decreased must request the adjustment by July 23, 2012 by emailing the Business Office (ecashier@reynolds.edu).
