PAYMENT OPTIONS
There are a variety of ways to pay your bill at SDCC. You may combine these payment options to find the arrangement that best suits your financial needs.
Option A – Financial Aid
All students interested in receiving financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine eligibility. The FAFSA determines a student’s eligibility for both federal and state aid. All California residents must submit a FAFSA by March 2 prior to the Fall semester of enrollment to be eligible for the maximum amount of aid available. Be sure to list San Diego Christian College’s school code of 012031 on the “Selected Schools” tab on the FAFSA! Students applying for a program that begins July 1 or later should complete next year’s FAFSA.
San Diego Christian College also encourages students to apply for aid from outside sources, such as private, community, and corporate programs.
Option B – Pay in Full
Pay the balance for the semester in full. SDCC offers a variety of convenient methods to make payments. At SDCC, the following methods of payment are acceptable:
- Cash
- Check, Cashier’s Check, or Money Order (please write student’s name and ID number on the memo line)
- Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express)
Option C – Payment Plan
Make automatic monthly payments by requesting a secure link from Student Financial Services to input your credit or debit card information. Each semester’s bill can be paid by up to five (5) monthly payments. If payments are not made in a timely manner, the ability to continue on a monthly payment plan may be revoked.
Option D – PLUS or Private Loans
If you still have a balance owed after all Financial Aid has been awarded, you may choose to take out an additional loan to cover your remaining balance.
It is recommended that students first exhaust their Federal Direct Stafford Loans due to their low and fixed interest rates. If you have already taken out your Stafford Loans, other loan options include Graduate PLUS loans and Alternative (Private) Loans. These are subject to additional steps and credit review by the Department of Education (for PLUS) or a private lender (for alternative/private loans).
Option E – VA Benefits (GI Bill®)
Option F – Employer Tuition Reimbursement
You will need to provide a copy of your approved Employer Tuition Reimbursement form. Upon receipt, you will be permitted to delay tuition payment for each class until its conclusion. If your Employer Tuition Reimbursement does not cover 100% of your costs, you will need to have payment arrangements in place to cover the remainder of what you owe.
