3. Pay Online - At http://www.dmacc.edu/gonnapay.asp
- Pay amount in full by MasterCard or VISA
- Online Payment Plan if amount due is $200 or more
The Nelnet Business Solutions Plan (formerly FACTS) allows you to make payments on a monthly basis if you owe $200 or more. A $25 non-refundable fee is assessed by Nelnet at the time of your application and is automatically deducted from your checking or savings account or charged to your credit card (MC, VISA & Discover). Down payments are also immediately deducted. Monthly payments are automatically deducted on the 5th of each month.
Important: You must apply for an online plan by the due date indicated on your DMACC billing.
Payment Plan Online - You have two options:
Automatic Bank Payment - You authorize FACTS to
withdraw directly from your financial institution. It is simply a
bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have preapproved to cover your tuition
and fee expenses at DMACC. Payments may be made from either your checking
or savings account. Payments are withdrawn on the 5th of each month until
the balance due the college is paid in full.
Credit Card Option - (FACTS accepts VISA, MasterCard and Discover) Many students and families have requested the option of charging their monthly tuition payment to VISA, MasterCard or Discover. This enables you to take advantage of various bonus programs offered by your credit card company. If you elect to use this option, your monthly payment will be automatically charged to your credit card on the 5th of each month. Note: A $25 missed payment fee will be automatically assessed to your account if an automatic bank payment or credit card payment is refused by your financial institution or credit card issuer. You will be notified of the missed payment by mail.

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us to use information from your check to process a one-time Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or a draft drawn from your account, or to process the payment as a check transaction. When we use information from your check to make an EFT, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day you make your payment and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution.
If your payment is returned unpaid, you authorize the collection of your payment and a return fee of $30 by EFT(s) or draft(s) drawn from your account.

Indebtedness Policy
A student who has tuition and fees owed the College may not register while
the indebtedness remains. During this period the student's transcript will not
be released and graduation awards will not be conferred.
Education Tax Credits
Federal income tax credits are available to persons who pay higher education
costs. The amount of credit is determined by the amount of qualified
tuition and related expenses paid for a student and the amount of the tax
filer's adjusted gross income. Education tax credits are subtracted from
the tax amount owed. For information concerning how to qualify for these credits, call the IRS Help Line at 1-800-829-1040, or call 1-800-829-3676 and ask for the IRS publication 970. Details are also available on-line at http://www.irs.gov.
