Payment Options and Due Dates

Black Hawk College offers a deferred payment plan for spring and fall semesters. Students can choose between a three- or four-installment plan. Payment plans can be set up online or in person during normal business hours.

Avoid the high cost of a traditional loan with smaller monthly installments. It takes only a few minutes to enroll, and you pay just one low fee at enrollment. You can also take advantage of our auto-pay feature, allowing you to set-it up once and have payments made each month for the duration of the plan.

1. Log into myBHC.
2. Select Student Billing tile.
3. In the Student Account box, click on “Review Account & Make Payment Online”, which will take you to the Transact payment portal.
4. Click on “Payment Plans” to review your options, select a plan and complete your payment.

Checks must have the account holders name pre-printed on the check by the bank. Post-dated checks will not be accepted. A check may not be written for more than the amount of the payment, with the intent of receiving a refund for the overpayment. Returned paper checks are charged a fee of $30. The returned check and any related fees must be repaid using a different method of payment, i.e. cash, debit card, credit card.

Students whose tuition is being paid for by a third party must obtain a voucher from that third party that authorizes Black Hawk College to bill them. The voucher should include the student’s name, specific charges that the third party agrees to pay, and any special billing instruction the third party may require. Vouchers need to be received in the Bursar’s Office by the posted payment due to avoid being dropped from classes. A new voucher will be required for each semester.

When an employer agrees to reimburse an employee for courses that are taken, the student must pay the tuition bill via one of the payment options listed. Black Hawk College will not defer tuition balances when the employer agrees to reimburse the student upon completion of the courses.

Black Hawk College will bill College IL 529 plans directly. A copy of the participant’s annual statement needs to be turned into the Bursar’s Office upon registration. Most other 529 plans require the participant to request payment be sent to Black Hawk College.

Students can authorize the college to apply up to $200 of their anticipated financial aid refund toward a past due balance from a prior academic year. To start this process, the student must complete the appropriate FAFSA application and a balance forward authorization.
