Tuition & Fees
BLOCK TUITION
Block tuition, or flat rate tuition, is another way Jacksonville College is supporting our students on a pathway to not only meet but also EXCEED their goals. By implementing block tuition, we hope to lessen financial barriers. Your tuition for full time enrollment will not increase if you take between 12 and 17 hours.
What if I want to enroll part time?
That’s ok! We welcome part time students at a low per hour rate, comparable to other junior colleges in the area. This ensures you have access to a quality, Christian education – right here in East Texas.

You must be eighteen (18) years of age or a parent or guardian’s signature is required.
Jacksonville College installment plans divide the net financial obligation (after financial aid and loans are applied) into equal monthly payments based on the length of the term.After plan enrollment, if a student adds charges (such as a parking permit), makes schedule changes that impact tuition/fees, or if any additional aid or loan is applied to the student account the student will need to contact the business office to update the installment plan.

- Long Term Plan:
- 25% down + $20 Setup Fee

- 2 Subsequent Installments
There will be a 5 day grace period for payment to be received before a late fee is applied, for specific installment plan terms students will ALWAYS need to refer to their installment plan documents.
Jacksonville College reserves the right to require an automatic debit authorization form for a credit card or checking account on any student/family that has failed to make scheduled payments from a previous term. An alternate payment schedule requiring a larger percentage of the balance on the first two payments may be put in place.
