Bristol Community College urges our students to give careful thought, consideration, and budget planning when deciding how to pay for your college education. If you’ve been offered student educational loans, such as Direct Loans awarded through our Financial Aid Office, we urge you to weigh your options. Student loan interest rates are typically much lower than credit card interest rates. Check with our Financial Aid Office to obtain the latest student loan interest rates and repayment periods.

Keep in mind: if you are eligible for student loans, to defer payment of your tuition and fee payment while your loan is in process, you must:

  • Be officially offered the loans by our Financial Aid Office,
  • Accept them on or prior to the due date of your bill; and, 
  • Be awarded enough loan funds to cover your entire account balance.

Otherwise, you must pay in full the amount not covered by student loans by the due date, regardless of the payment method you choose.
