Payment Plans
Fullerton College is here to help! Payment plans are now available to students who need an option for paying course and tuition fees/credit unit fees not covered by Financial Aid and/or other sources. Fullerton College is now using Nelnet as our payment plan provider!
- You must be enrolled in classes before you can enroll in the Nelnet Payment Plan
- There is no interest, finance charges, or credit check.
- A new plan is required for each term.
- Payment options are flexible and setup fees are affordable.
- The earlier you sign up, the more payment options you have, and the lower your enrollment fee and down payment.
- Enrollment in this plan is easy and available online.
- There is an non-refundable $25 fee to set up a payment plan.

Remove Unpaid Balance Holds
Students who owe $100 or more will have a UB (Unpaid Balance) hold placed on their record which means they cannot add, drop, or change classes in their schedule.
Signing up for a payment plan will prevent or remove the UB unpaid balance hold for the current term balance.
Please note: Students who have unpaid balance holds from prior terms will need to contact Admissions and Records for further assistance by phone at 714-992-7075 or text at 714-515-7611.
When you sign up for a payment plan, be sure to have the following information:
- myGateway student ID number.
- The name and address of the person responsible for making the payments.
- Account information for the responsible person.
- Financial institution’s name and telephone number, account number, and the financial institution’s routing number.
