Payment Plan
To help meet educational expenses each semester, Columbia State is pleased to offer automatic payment plans. It is not a loan, therefore, there is no debt, and no interest or finance charges are assessed except for a $25 nonrefundable enrollment fee. No credit check is required.

Payment Plan Overview and Schedule
- A $25 per semester nonrefundable fee is required. The enrollment fee is automatically deducted from your account immediately upon submission of your agreement.
- Payments are automatically deducted on the 5th of each month from your designated account, or you may also have your payment charged to a credit card. Please note: Check, Debit and ATM cards may be returned unpaid due to daily limit restrictions imposed by your bank.
- If your payment on the 5th is not successful, you will receive notification. Your agreement will be processed until the balance owed is paid in full.
- For each returned WEB check or returned Automated Clearing House payment, Columbia State Community College assesses a $30 returned payment fee on your student account.
When applying online be sure to have the following information:
- If paying by automatic bank payments you will need the financial institution's name, telephone number, account number, and the financial institution's routing number. Most of this information is located on your personal check.
- If paying by credit card, you will need the credit card number, security code, and expiration date.
Through TouchNet, you may also authorize others to set up a payment plan for your student account.
