Non-Financial Aid Refunds

Students are entitled to a refund of course fees when classes are dropped by the applicable 100% refund deadline published in the Academic Calendar. Students do not have to contact a campus Cashier's Office to receive a refund. An automated process will generate a refund approximately two weeks after the final drop/add date for each session.

View our institution's Refund of Tuition and Fees Policy.

Students are responsible for dropping classes on the web or through a Registration Office within the 100% refund period.

Students who paid tuition and fees and then received a financial aid award will be refunded when aid is disbursed.

Broward College has partnered with Nelnet Business Solutions to offer a tuition installment plan to help students afford the cost of their education. Students may enroll in a tuition payment plan for any term at BC; however, a new plan is required each term. The earlier a student enrolls, the more plan options the student will have to choose from.

Plans range from zero to 50% down payment with 2 to 4 monthly payments - Example:

Monthly payments are automatically processed on the 20th of each month and will continue until the balance is paid in full.

There are no credit checks and no interest. The student must be registered for courses and provide a method of payment (credit card or checking/savings account) that will be used for the enrollment fee, down payment, and monthly payments.

The down payment, along with a $35, $40, or $45 non-refundable enrollment fee will be due at the time of enrollment in the tuition payment plan - $5 of the enrollment fee is being collected on behalf of the institution. While most plans will pay the student's schedule within minutes of completing enrollment, it may take up to one business day for processing so students are advised to enroll before their fee payment due date. Tuition payment plan coverage will be applied to the student's schedule by 2 p.m. of the next business day.

Enrollment periods are limited and typically close approximately one week prior to the start of session 1 each term so enroll early!!

Schedule Changes
If you drop or add classes or receive financial aid or other tuition coverage, you must contact Nelnet to have your tuition payment plan adjusted. If Nelnet is not notified of these changes, payments will continue to be processed from your bank account or credit card as agreed in the enrollment process. The time frame in which increases may be made to plans is limited to the enrollment period for the tuition payment plan. The last day to decrease or terminate plans is approximately 30 days after the start of the term.

Refunds
Nelnet will remit all refunds to the College within 45-60 days after the end of the add/drop period for session 1. Broward College will issue tuition payment plan refunds to students when the funds are received from Nelnet.

Such non-academic circumstances may include but are not limited to, serious illness of self or of a family member, death in the immediate family, and other emergency circumstances.

The 1098-T is a tuition statement furnished by eligible educational institutions in accordance with IRS regulations. It reports payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses and financial aid amounts paid for students. It is used to assist in determining a student's eligibility for the American Opportunity Tax Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit. However, receipt of the form does not guarantee eligibility for any tax credits or deductions.

Generally, if you are a student and your payments and classes meet certain IRS criteria, you will receive a 1098-T for the Calendar Year. There are exceptions and additional details about the form which may be found in IRS Publication 970 at www.irs.gov.

Electronic 1098-T forms are available for viewing and printing via the student One Access login. Select the myBC tile and the "My Financials" tab.
