The FACTS payment plan can help students figure out a way to pay for classes, according to Teresa Albertini in the Bursar\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Students who don\u2019t have the money for the full payment of tuition up front but also don\u2019t want to acquire a loan should seek out FACTS, Albertini said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes your tuition and typically cuts it into three payments,\u201d Albertini said.\u00a0 \u201cSometimes four in the fall, but usually three.\u201d<\/p>\n
Payments are processed on the 5th or 20th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid.<\/p>\n
The FACTS payment plan is set up through facts.sinclair.edu, comes with an initial $15 fee and anyone using it must provide a credit card or bank account so the payments can be automatically deducted, according to Albertini.\u00a0 It takes \u201cabout 3-5 minutes\u201d to sign up online, or students can visit the Sinclair Central.\u00a0 It will ask for the student to read and agree to the terms and conditions, then \u201cgoes through and asks for banking information,\u201d according to Albertini.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s user-friendly for everyone,\u201d Albertini said.<\/p>\n
Students need to be registered in FACTS by March 17 at midnight.\u00a0 If set up by then, students would have their first payment due the next day.\u00a0 However, if a student signs up any later, the payment is due immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last day available to register is April 1,\u201d Albertini said.<\/p>\n
The plan is available for any quarter, including summer, and about 2,000 students use it a quarter, although \u201cwe can accommodate any number of students,\u201d according to Albertini.\u00a0 Fall quarter saw the number jump to about 2,800.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmost any student would benefit if they don\u2019t want to pay off their whole balance at once,\u201d Albertini said.<\/p>\n
Sinclair has an agreement with FACTS, a company based out of Nebraska.\u00a0 Albertini said the payment plan has been available for 6-7 years at Sinclair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
