Payment Plans

A payment plan is an interest-free option offered by Cabarrus College that breaks down the large lump-sum payments due at the beginning of each semester into easy-to-manage monthly installments.  A fee of $50.00 per semester will be assessed each semester you establish a payment plan.

Payment plans can be combined with financial aid and student loans to help manage your total cost. Payment plans are established through the Business Office located in the Student Support Center.
