FACTS Tuition Payment Plan   -  Facts Brochure *PDF Format                            
Students may choose to participate in the FACTS Tuition Payment Plan. This plan, managed by the FACTS Tuition Management Company, will allow students more flexible payment options. There will be a $25 per semester, non- refundable fee for all students who sign up for the plan. Students must register prior to signing up for FACTS.

How FACTS Works
Using FACTS is simple. Just complete and sign a FACTS tuition payment agreement at the Main Campus. You may budget your tuition and fees one of two ways:

• Automatic Bank Payment (ACH) - ACH payments are those payments you have authorized FACTS to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at OCTC. Payment may be made from either your checking or savings account. Payments are processed on the 20th of each month and will continue until the balance due the college is paid in full.

• Credit Card Option - Many students and families have requested the option of charging their monthly tuition payment to Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. This enables you to take advantage of various bonus programs offered by your credit card company. Payment will be charged on the 20th of each month until the balance is paid in full.

Note: Should ACH or credit card payment be missed, a $25 missed payment fee will be automatically assessed to your account. You will be notified by FACTS of the missed payment via mail.
