Payment Options

Students at Georgetown College have several options for paying tuition and fees. Please review the options outlined below.

If you are unable to pay the full amount upon registration, please contact the Student Accounts Office to set up one of the following payment options. Failure to make payments as scheduled will result in cancellation of registration, holds on future registration, holds on transcripts and/or diploma.

Georgetown College correspondence to students is primarily through e-mail. Students are responsible to keep their Georgetown College e-mail contact information up-to-date and to check their e-mail regularly for information regarding their Georgetown College student account. Students’ current account balance information is always accessible through their my.georgetowncollege.edu online account.

Monthly Payment Plan – Tuition Management Systems

Georgetown College offers students the option to pay their tuition and fees through a monthly payment plan with TMS (Tuition Management Systems). Monthly payments can be automatically deducted from a personal bank account or credit card. The payment plan agreement can be set up for one semester or annually to allow students to budget their tuition costs monthly. Please note that to take advantage of the monthly payment plan you must begin payments in July for the annual plan.  For the semester plan, payments are July – November for fall and December – April for spring. To sign up for the plan please visit the TMS website http://afford.com/georgetowncollege.

Financial Aid Method

In order to receive a financial aid award a student must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial Aid must be applied to the student bill. Overpayment will be refunded to the student, if requested. If financial aid does not pay the entire bill, the student is responsible to pay the remainder of the bill through either a Full Payment Method or a Tuition Management Systems Monthly Payment Plan by the first day of class.

REMEMBER…

  • Keep your e-mail contact information up-to-date, and check your e-mail inbox regularly.
  • Do not wait for a bill to make your payment. Your current balance information is available 24/7 on your my.georgetowncollege.edu account.
  • Make sure your billing address is correct.
  • Students unable to meet their financial obligations to the College will not be allowed to register for future classes, and will not receive an official transcript or diploma.

If your account has a credit balance, you may request a refund once all financial aid has been received and applied to your student account. Please call the Student Accounts Office at (502) 863-8700 or email Student_Accounts@georgetowncollege.edu.
