Tuition Payment Plan

What is the Tuition Payment Plan?

Polk State College uses the vendor NelNet Business Solutions to offer a tuition payment plan to students. NelNet sets the short enrollment period in which you may use the payment plan each term.

The enrollment period dates can be found at 132072.com on the Tuition Payment Plan web page.

The Tuition Payment Plan can cover tuition and fees, but it doesn’t cover textbooks.
