All billing statements may be viewed on the “Billing/Finances” tab on the MyJALC portal. Billing statements are mailed out once a semester to the address on file with the Admissions and Records Office. Payment will be due on the day of registration if scheduling takes place after the semester due date. If payment for classes is not in place by the semester due date, students may be dropped from all classes. Students can request to re-enroll once payment arrangements are finalized.

Bill Payment Options

Students Seeking Financial Aid:
Students will need to complete their FAFSA online at studentaid.gov. Once all requirements have been met to receive aid, the billing statement will deduct any awarded student financial aid. All questions concerning the application and financial aid disbursements should be directed to the Financial Aid Office in C210.

Bill Payment:
Students can pay their Bursar bill online through the student portal at MyJALC, over the phone at Ext. 8201, or in-person at the Bursar’s Office located at C213.

Payment Plan Option:

Students can enroll in the NelNet Payment Plan through the myJALC portal under the “Billing/Finances tab.” Automatic payment will be deducted from a checking or savings account (ACH) or from a credit or debit card on the 20^th of each month. A non-refundable enrollment fee will be charged per agreement upon sign up.
