Tuition Installment Plans (TIPs)
Florida State College at Jacksonville offers tuition installment plans (TIPs) that are managed by Nelnet. These plans are offered during the normal registration period and can be increased until the first day of the A Session for each term. TIPs allow students to begin classes while paying their current term tuition and fees. Students who have not defaulted on their payment plan agreement and whose plans cover all of their term charges are not in jeopardy of being dropped on the fee payment deadlines.
Payment amounts depend on when you enroll. They are drafted monthly from your checking, savings, or credit card account. There are several options for the number of payments, the down payment amount, and the enrollment fee.
