Tuition Payment Plan:
To help meet students' educational expenses, TNCC has partnered with NelNet Business Solutions (formerly FACTS) to offer a monthly tuition payment plan. For a non-refundable fee, the NBS Tuition Payment Plan allows you to have your tuition and fees payment automatically deducted from your checking or savings account or charged to your credit card. Different payment options are available dependent on tuition plan enrollment date. Click the links below for more information.
Thomas Nelson Community College accepts agency/employer Billing Authorization Letters / Tuition Assistance forms for tuition and fee costs. If the authorization form is presented to the Cashiers before the tuition due date, you will not have to pay tuition and the college will bill your agency/employer. If your sponsor does not agree to be obligated for the full cost of tuition and fees, you are responsible for paying the remaining portion of the tuition. Any unpaid amounts will put you in jeopardy of being dropped from all classes that you have enrolled in. The College will not accept authorizations from agencies/employers that are contingent upon acceptable student grades and/or employment status.
Tuition Refund Policy:
If your class is canceled or you officially withdraw from the college or drop individual classes by the “drop with a refund” date using the process set forth in this college catalog, you will receive a full refund, within six to eight weeks after the “drop with refund date”. Please refer to the academic calendar for the specific dates for each session.
TNCC does not issue partial or pro-rated refunds.
If a class was paid at the cashier’s window by cash, check, or credit card a refund check will be mailed to the student, from the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Department of the Treasury to the address on file in TNCC’s Student Information System (SIS).
If a class was paid online using the WEB, the refund will be batch processed back to the credit card used.
You may also bring the same credit card to the cashier’s window to receive the refund to your credit card.
Enrollment cancellation does not guarantee you will be dropped from class for non-payment of tuition.

Bad Checks and Past Due Obligations:
Continued attendance at the College is dependent upon proper settlement of all debts owed the institution. A check not honored by the bank on which it is drawn is considered to be a bad check, regardless of the reason initially provided by the bank. In the event that the bad check results from a bank error, the bank must acknowledge this fact in writing before the student can be relieved of the obligation. A $15 processing fee for tuition and fees and a $20 processing fee for books will be imposed for each bad check. Such future payments must be made either by cash, money order or credit card.
A student who has a financial obligation to the College, for any reason, beyond the due date, or who has books or materials outstanding from the Learning Resource Center beyond the due date will be denied all services, including the issuance of transcripts and permission to register. If the student’s obligation involves an unpaid bad check for tuition, the student will be deleted from all classes. For all other outstanding obligations, it is established college policy to pursue the collection through the debt set-off program involving a student’s state tax refund and the use of a collection agency. If an obligation is sent to a collection agency, the student must pay the collection fee.
Paychecks of students in the College work-study program or employed by the College may be withheld until the obligation is paid or some other arrangement is established to satisfy the obligation.
