Online Tuition Payments
In order to process an online tuition payment, we’ll need the student’s full name, Columbia College email address and ID number, as well as date of birth.
How to Pay
You may pay by credit or debit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. You may also pay by E-check which will create an ACH draft from your bank account. Payments made on this site by 3:00 pm are posted to your tuition account the next business day.
Payments are first applied to any outstanding balance, which may be from a prior semester, then to the most recent balance.
We use a secure third-party site to accept payments.
Set Up a Payment Plan
Payment plans are administered by a third party, Nelnet. Information about plans is available here: http://mycollegepaymentplan.com/ColumbiaCollegeSC/.
Note: Payment plans are only for upcoming academic terms.
