Paying Your Bill
Students must do one or a combination or one of the following before the tuition deadline or their scheduled courses will be dropped:
- Pay tuition and fees in full. Payment can be made online or at any BC3 location.
- Secure financial aid to cover tuition and fees in full.
- Login to the MyBC3 Portal and access Financial Aid Self-Service to view your status and awards or access additional applications (like the 2021-2022 FAFSA).
- Enroll in the BC3 EZ-Pay Plan to pay your tuition in installments.
If you decide not to attend after you enrolled, you must drop classes immediately to avoid possible charges and to free seats for other students. BC3 reserves the right to cancel classes if enrollment does not meet appropriate levels and change the schedule as necessary.
Ways to Submit Payment
- You can pay online through the MyBC3 Student Portal.
- You can pay in person at any BC3 location.
- You can pay by mail to:
