AFFORDABLE PAYMENT OPTION:
MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN
(Only available for the Fall and Spring Semesters)
Luzerne County Community College offers students and their families the option
of spreading Fall and Spring semester educational expenses over a period of
four months. We recommend the Tuition Pay Program (AMS) Interest-Free Monthly
Payment Plan to relieve the pressure of lump-sum payments due at the beginning
of each semester. Instead of two big payments, you can make four manageable
payments per semester. This is a budget plan, not a loan program, so there are no
interest or finance charges. The only charge is a non-refundable semester enrollment
fee. AMS will assess an additional charge if a check is not honored by your
bank. To encourage timely payments, a late fee may be assessed. All students with
six or more credits per semester may participate. The plan begins on July 15 for
the Fall Semester and December 15 for the Spring Semester. For more information
and an application, you may contact Tuition Pay Program (AMS) directly at 1-
800-635-0120 or www.TuitionPay.com.
