Your Payment Options

Students at Colorado Christian University have several options for paying tuition and fees for their coursework. Please review the options outlined below.

Payment or payment arrangements for all tuition and fees charges are due in full the first day of the semester. If registration occurs after the first day of the semester, payment in full is due upon registration. If you are unable to pay the full amount upon registration, please contact the Service Central office to set up one of the following payment options. Failure to make payments as scheduled will result in finance charges assessed on the outstanding balance.

CCU correspondence to students is primarily through e-mail. Students are responsible to keep their e-mail contact information up-to-date and to check their e-mail regularly for information regarding their CCU account. Students’ current account balance information is always accessible through their WebAdvisor online account.

Full Payment Method
Student pays the full semester charges (or the portion not covered by financial aid and other outside sources) at the time of registration.

Payment can be made as follows:

• Cash: Pay in person at the Service Central office. Do not mail cash.
• Personal Check: Make your check payable to Colorado Christian University. Include your name, CCU ID number, current address, and phone number on the face of the check.

• Credit Card: Official Payments Corp. is an agent of the University contracted for the electronic processing of credit card payments. American Express®, Discover®, and MasterCard® are accepted. In order to support this service, a convenience fee of 2.5% will be added to the total payment of your transaction. You can either pay by accessing the secure online payment page on WebAdvisor, or by using a touch tone telephone and dialing a toll free number 866-480-6861. Visa cannot be used because of current Visa regulations. Read our Online Payments FAQ for more information.
• Electronic Check (ACH): An electronic check is a no-fee, one-time authorization to automatically debit your savings or checking account. You can either pay by accessing the secure online payment page on WebAdvisor, or by using a touch tone telephone and dialing a toll free number 866-480-6861. You will need to provide your checking/savings account number and the routing/transit number, which is a unique series of numbers that identifies your financial institution. Read our Online Payments FAQ for more information.
• Credit card convenience checks may be used as an electronic check payment, including Visa® convenience checks. There is no convenience fee on any electronic check payment. Contact your credit card issuer to understand what fees it may charge for use of its convenience checks.

Third Party Deferred Payment Option
Deferred payment enables you to carry a balance for up to one semester, interest free, while waiting for reimbursement from an employer or government agency. You must complete the Third Party Deferred Payment Option Form (PDF), and include a copy of your employer's reimbursement policy. There is a $25 administrative fee to activate this plan and the plan must be updated each semester.

Veterans/GI Bill Benefits
CCU is approved for federal veterans' education benefits to qualified students. Applicants for these benefits may secure forms by contacting Service Central at 303-963-3230 or VASupport@ccu.edu. Eligible students should keep in mind that benefits may not be received for a number of weeks after enrollment and should be prepared to meet University expenses until the veteran benefits arrive. Third Party Deferred Payment Option may be used for qualified students with GI Bill benefits.

Monthly Payment Plan
CCU offers students the option to pay their tuition and fees through a monthly payment plan called FACTS. Monthly payments will be automatically deducted from a personal bank account or credit card. The payment plan agreement can be set up for one semester or annually to allow students to budget their tuition costs monthly. Please note that to take advantage of the monthly payment plan you must complete the agreement before classes begin. To sign up for the plan please visit the NBS e-Cashier Web site.

Cash by Class Plan
The Cash by Class plan enables students who are paying with cash, check or credit card to enroll in all of their courses at the start of the semester without having to pay their balance in full at the time of registration. Payment for each course is due when the class begins. Students making payments on the Cash by Class plan will not accrue interest charges on their account. Please complete the Cash by Class (PDF) form to activate this plan. Cash by Class must be renewed each semester to remain current.

Financial Aid Method
To receive a financial aid award a student must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial Aid must be applied to the student bill. Overpayment will be refunded to the student, if requested. If financial aid does not pay the entire bill, the student is responsible to pay the remainder of the bill through either a Full Payment Method or a Monthly Payment Method.

REMEMBER...

• Keep your e-mail contact information up-to-date, and check your e-mail inbox regularly.
• Do not wait for a bill to make your payment. Your current balance information is in your WebAdvisor account. Do not wait for a bill to make your payment.
• Make sure your billing address is correct.
• Students unable to meet their financial obligations to the University will not be allowed to register for future classes, and will not receive an official transcript or diploma.
