Spring Payment Plans
A payment plan allows you to pay your tuition for credit classes in installments. If you need to pay your tuition in installments, visit your college’s Business/Cashier’s Office to set up a payment plan. You can also set up installments online through eConnect. Please note that you may pay tuition in installments only during the Fall and Spring semesters.
Flex Term, Online and Winter Term Classes
It’s important to note if you’re taking Flex Term or Winter Term classes, the dates listed above might not apply to you — you should definitely check with the Business/Cashier’s Office for details. Additionally, if sitting in a classroom for a full 16 weeks doesn’t appeal to you, Flex Term, Online Classes or Winter Term might be the way to go, so you can still earn a few extra credits without a 16-week commitment. But don’t just take our word for it — browse the Dallas Community Colleges Spring 2020 schedule to see all of your options.
Why Can’t I Register for This Class Online?
There are a number of reasons why you may not be able to register for a class, but don’t fret — we’re here to help. Some reasons include: You haven’t completed TSI assessment testing, you have academic or financial blocks, you haven’t submitted transcripts, you have fewer than 12 hours of college – level credit or you haven’t met the prerequisite for a class. When in doubt, meet with an advisor.
