Additional Information for your Payment of Tuition and Fees Through Installment (College Green Payment Plan):

A student enrolling at Ranger College during the fall and spring semesters has the option to pay tuition and fees by installment. A student desiring to pay using the installment plan must meet with the designated business office representative prior to or inclusive of the established deadline to request the program.

  • A student enrolling at Ranger College for any number of credit hours during the fall and spring semesters can pay tuition and fees in the following manner: one-half payment of the tuition and fees by the first class day, followed by one-fourth payment by October 1st and one-fourth payment by November 1st (Fall Semester); one-half payment of the tuition and fees by the first class day, followed by one-fourth payment by March 1st and one-fourth payment by April 1st (Spring Semester). The student must have a payment plan set up in the Herring Bank Payment Plan system, which is available through the student's Campus Connect.
  • If a student receives assistance through the Pell Grant or other grant and scholarship programs, this assistance will be applied to tuition and fees before initiation of the installment plan is authorized. In instances where the Pell Grant or other grant and scholarship programs do not cover the full amount of tuition and fees, the installment plan will be provided as an option to cover the difference.
  • Students receiving any type of financial aid that will cover one-half payment of tuition and fees by the first class day and processed by the Ranger College Financial Aid Office may make the remainder of the payments in thirds by the first days of October, November, and December in the Fall, and by the first days of March, April, and May in the Spring).

  • A student seeking readmission to Ranger College after withdrawing without paying the full amount of tuition, fees, room, and board shall pay all past due installment payments and late payment fees less applicable refunds before readmission will be processed.
  • A student completing the semester without meeting the full monetary obligation of the promissory note will have records withheld until full payment is made. Further, the student will be barred from registration, transcript transactions, graduation, and processing of documents. Students who received Title IV aid and still owe institutional charges for a payment period must pay charges or sign an agreement to pay in order to receive their transcript.
