Authorized Payment Plan through FACTS
In an effort to assist students who cannot pay all of their tuition costs before the start of each semester, John Wood Community College offers a tuition payment plan through FACTS Tuition Management Company. There is a $35.00 non-refundable FACTS enrollment fee per semester. With this plan, your payments are automatically debited from your checking or savings account on the 5th of each month until the balance due the college is paid in full. Monthly payments can also be charged to your VISA, MasterCard or Discover credit card on the 5th of each month. A small convenience fee will be added when using the credit card option. Find out more about the FACTS Payment Plan.

Please review the FACTS brochure below which gives you details of this payment plan and helps you determine your amount to budget through FACTS.

To confirm the amount of your charges and financial aid, please call the business office at (217) 641-4275 prior to enrolling online in the payment plan.
