Do I need to pay my bill in full by the due date?

No. Lycoming College offers Tuition Payment Plans administered by Nelnet Business Solutions' Enterprise system as a convenient way to pay tuition! Payment plans offer manageable ways to pay your tuition in monthly installments, rather than one lump sum, and can be used to cover your entire bill, or just the portion remaining after grants, loans, and financial aid. This plan must be set up before the due date of the bill in order to prevent a late fee.

Students and authorized parties may log into the Enterprise system and select set up payment plan. For more information about the payment plan you may go to:
